Rainha do Natal

I watch this type of movie all the time, really don't expect much and therefore, I usually enjoy them for what they are.

This is the typical Christmas Story that has been done many times before. Department store themed, Ashley works there, Ben is related to the owner and comes in and starts making changes. Invariably, one of them is the more traditional, the other is more modern and therefore their opinions clash.

I could tell straight away that this was written by a male, and wasn't surprised when I looked to check. One scene in particular where Ashley agrees to assist Ben with the editing of a video he made about the store. She arrives at his house and when he opens the door she hands him a 'housewarming' gift, that he does not thank her for. He then proceeds to invite her inside for which she thanks him... for what? For the pleasure of assisting him?

I could have played this movie in the background while doing housework and would still have been able to follow the story. It was something of a snooze-fest.... And that's coming from somebody that is very accepting of this style of movie and watches dozens every year.
