Oh boy. Where to begin on this one.
The main character is just a spoiled brat, entitled woman who was annoying for the entire movie. The entire plot is letter for letter exactly what you'd expect from a Hallmark Christmas Rom-Com, with a special dose of awful thrown in for good measure in this one.
Some Highlights:
The meet-cute is her rear-ending him, being rude as hell and making fun of his outfit (his car doesn't have a scratch on it but on hers the bumper fell off) and inexplicably the guy is a mechanic and fixes her car... for free? I guess? There is never any mention of payment or insurance.
She is kind of abusive to her stepdad because he "replaced" her actual dad for like no reason. She later apologizes when it's convenient for her and apparently he can sew!
She gets a lifeline to save her struggling business in the form of a fashion competition for a major retailer. The design prompt is "A family-oriented outfit for a mainstream chain that's christmas themed" She somehow turns that into pajama overalls (because she loves her dad's overalls so much). However, when she gets to the fashion show that she just drove 4 hours though, things are running a bit behind and she has to be late to a christmas event her family has already said they don't care about. In the conversation BEFORE she left, her sister says, and I quote "As long as you're back before Christmas Day." They understand it's an important moment in her career and she just throws it away because the guy says they're running behind, makes a huge scene in his face, and runs home to profess her love to the male love interest, who she told two sentences prior that she just met a week ago and drove all the way back here just so she could be with him. He of course reciprocates and then there's a christmas mircale and somehow her hideous pajamas won the competition and she got a contract even though the guy saw them for all of 5 minutes before she stormed out of the room like the princess she was. Wow.
Also, just screw her assistant I guess? She says she's moving her company's headquarters from New Jersey (She says manhattan but the store is obviously in new jersey) to her small town so she can be with her man and her family. No mention of what happens to the assistant, I guess we just forgot about her!
It's really just an awful movie that doesn't make any sense. People do not fall in love in the span of a week and give up their entire careers on a whim (her business was on the verge of closing due to water damage without this win for her) to be with a man... they met a week ago!
Horrible. Good movie to have on the background as you fall asleep.
