Good quality actors, way above average for these movies. I was looking forward to see it, mostly because of the cast. Good chemistry between the two leads. They make this watchable.
The plot, while predictable, is a nice respite from the usual holiday romance movie themes. The villain is a bit of a caricature, though.
All this being said, it became boring soon enough. It fails to get me invested.
The conflicts are artificial. The lead comes through as spineless and aloof. Some decisions are stupid/naive. He realises almost instantly what he wants but focuses on something else.
A lot of missed opportunities.
