Un hôtel pour deux à Noël

The Christmas Listing - but that movie was far worse and slightly different in that the leads didn't know each other from high school and they had to live at the inn they wanted to buy. There's also a resemblance to Once Upon a Main Street. After you get past why the two leads are thrown together, it's the same old stuff. The two keep working together on things and guess what - surprise - they rekindle their relationship. Don't have to wonder how this is going to end. The conflict was a slight twist as to how it was engineered and the lead's response to it was not quite the usual either. So it wasn't totally the usual. The last part was a little over the top unreal, but only slightly more than average in these movies.

Some things were confusing. Why did Lucas basically help Mandy and sabotage himself? That starts pretty early. Also I didn't think it was clear that Mandy not staying in town to run the place was a secret. Lucas knew it.

There was some chemistry between Jonna Walsh and Jesse Hatch. They could have had a little more screen time together. They avoided the usual animosity at the start and started almost immediately with upbeat banter and teasing.

While there were no great big highs or lows, I think there was the one slight surprise.

I wondered about Mariah Campos as Ginny Zee. There was a nice song performance. She sings a song I never heard and assume it was original although IMDb gives no specific credit as of this writing.
