...nothing more or less.
It does its job as light rom-com fare for the purpose of cheery, festive, fuzzy-feeling, seasonal escapism.
Zooey turns in a convincing performance as always, and the supporting cast ranges from adequate to charming. There is the required chemistry between the two leads to make the romance believable.
The premise is, yes, schmaltzy, but there is enough real-life complexity in the plot/relationships to make this different from the average paint-by-the-numbers rom-com.
Not something that will probably leave a lasting impression, but not anything you'll regret spending some time with either, at least if you are aware of what this is...and is not.
Happy Holidays!
