Did I roll my eyes several times? Yes. Did the ending make sense? No. Did it transcend the Christmas romance genre? Absolutely not. Actually, the romance kind of took a backseat to the restaurant story, probably to the movie's benefit. I mostly liked the cast of characters, and while little screen time was given to the budding romance, there was some good chemistry at the few moments it was given. I do wish they had given the two a couple more scenes together before the pivotal moment to make the resolution more believable.
I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this, but if this is what you're in the mood for, it'll pass the time pleasantly.
