A Christmas for the Books (2018 TV Movie)
6/10
Is this satire?
29 December 2018
This expert's advice is ridiculous. That's why I'm guessing this is satire. If you don't laugh at the situation, you have to hate it. There were some funny moments and dialogue.

Ted didn't seem real to me. His girlfriend breaks up with him over the phone over love principles that he obviously considers lame, yet he agrees to let Joanna teach him how to live by those principles. Really?

A fake boyfriend/fiancee is a fairly common premise and the celebrity angle has also been done, but this movie throws in some interesting angles when Ted's girlfriend (ex?) shows up and Joanna and her patron's son become friendly. The results of these developments add some spice to the story. And towards the end, things get messy, even if everything ends up about where you expect it.
