      Half an hour in, Joseph, Lauren and Victoria ride the elevator from their balcony suite, on one of the upper floors of the hotel, down to the lobby level where the roof garden is located. However, a shot of the elevator's floor indicator shows the elevator going up, not down.

    Not as good as the first one
    Maybe it was a mistake watching this right after the first one. It wasn't bad but somehow missed the charme of the first movie. They still had a storyline around the farm but that seemed pretty random too. At that point I started to get the vibe that Manny and the guy from Josephs old work were sublty going somewhere so it didn't make sense to me.

    It's still a nice romance and I always enjoy sequels to find out what happened but it's not cheesy enough for a good christmas watch.
