Cute Christmas film until it crashed and burned
1 December 2019 | by kdeoneSee all my reviews

This was a cute, feel good Christmas film until the final scene where it all went south. Such terrible writing to wrap the film up. It was like a scene out of a really bad soap opera. Such a wreck. Ruined the film.
