Trigger warning- main character widowed
Plot:
Widow Rush Williams has everything he wants, the house the four children, Then a pre Christmas firing from his job as a radio DJ looks to put a spanner in the works.
Review:
Another Christmas movie set in the great New York City. But mainly what looks like stock ariel footage, other than some exteriors in Queens and the great Pepsi Cola sign in Long Island (which makes an appearance for about 2 minutes).
A Netflix original movie. Something Netflix have now started to excel in; the festive Christmas movie. This maybe though isn't one of their greatest achievements
It falls a bit flat. Half way through I considered if I could manage another 45 minutes. Give it 5 more minutes and this is the start of the turn to better things.
The children of the main character are very materialistic, even setting up crowd funding for $25,000 of Christmas presents because they won't get a pony. Bearing in mind they’ve lost their mother in the years preceding the storyline they are incredibly self centred and money orientated,
Not sure it's a year on year watch, but glad to have seen it.
Stick with it if you haven't watched if before. Like the moral of the story, things will get better
Hopeless romantic score- 5 out of 10
