When spoiled, 21-year old college student Luce Lockhart is forced to take a job over the holidays walking a rich developer's dog, she is thrilled to discover they are going to build a salon and spa over the quaint local dog park nearby. But when Luce meets Dean, an irritating yet handsome dogwalker actively trying to stop them, Luce is forced to question what the park means to her newfound friends, and whether she can put aside her selfish ways to help save the park before Christmas.

Aside from having utterly insipid writing that is ridden with every terrible x-mas movie trope possible, on every appreciable technical level this movie fails. From an early shot of a shiny shopping bag drawing the eye away from the characters, to multiple conversations that makes one wonder whether or not the characters "talking" to each other were even on the same set, this movie is a nightmare. Not a single one of the actors knew the basics of dramatic timing, none of them were likable, and calling the plot progression "flat" is the understatement of the century.
If you hope to gain any form of enjoyment, or holiday cheer from this film, I advise you to do it the same way my Fiance and i did. With a bottle of spiked eggnog (30 proof) and a strong sense of irony.
