My Christmas Fiancé

Despite of the negative reviews most gave, this movie has substance. It delivered a message that people are more important than money and you must be independent of your own thoughts and life and not worry about others. Two unlikely people discovered that and through a plot to appease others discovered love for themselves. This movie was charming. Hallmark or Lifetime couldn't have done a better. The main characters were notable. I must say that the actress that played the nemesis was dull, overall the actors were interesting it for yourself and you will be pleasantly surprised. It is charming!

I like the cheesy "I need a fiance/fiancee for a holiday" plot line. My favorite one is "My Fake Fiance" with Melissa Joan Hart. I like watching two people come up with this terrible idea for convenience, but end up falling in love for real. This movie, unfortunately, falls flat. The acting is wooden, the setting feels inauthentic, the writing is terrible and where is the character development? There's one character who just kind of appears to suddenly have all this knowledge about one of the MCs. How? Why? Don't know. What seemed like a good idea on paper, doesn't translate to the screen. Don't waste your time with this one, go watch a better hallmarkish type of movie instead.

Honestly, there are a lot of bad cheesy Christmas romantic comedies out there, and I've pretty much seen them all. This one had me laughing, crying and cheering. I loved it! I basically judge a movie based on if I think about it later on again and again. I get the whole "food is more than life" thing. While there are obviously issues of same old tale syndrome, as it follows the same formulaic approach of: awkward enemies-> romantic feelings->wrench in romance->happy ending, I really liked this version of the tale. I love the archetypical "Fairy Godmother" and "Wise Old Man" guiding our Cinderella/Heroine. Also, I love the line, "Be the PIZZA, not the Queen" yum.

This is one of the most ridiculous movies I have tried to watch. The plot is choppy and acting is not great to say the least. Nothing in this film felt relatable. This is no hallmark or lifetime Christmas special that's cheesy yet heartwarming. It appears as if the developers of this film gave us the bare minimum of what it takes to produce a romantic family style holiday movie, but everything in between was very lacking. The characters are not dynamic and they have no real background and we sort of don't get to know who these people are throughout the entire film. This is just bad, bad writing with horrible acting. I usually expect very little from this sort of genre, but this film didn't even give me that.

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.

It's not cute to fall in love with your bully. The MC has no redeeming qualities. He was abusive. He was horrendous to everybody up until the very end. He did not seem to change at all. He could tell everybody off except his parents. The love confession came out of no where and in my opinion that whole subplot should have been left out. I was as shocked by that love confession as the lead looked. When did he have time to fall in love with all the yelling he was doing. They didn't have a moment to bond. It was very strange. The acting was terrible except for Jennifer. I didn't get any holiday feels at all.
