Why?
My mom and I needed something to watch while my sister was busy doing something. We decided to watch this movie to pass the time.
What in the world?
A food critic goes home for Christmas to spend time with her family and instead ends spending most of it with a cop. They fall in love. She is not doing communicating service.
Personal thoughts
This movie was so hard to follow. I mean the timeline was all over the place. Are we supposed to believe that December 20th this lady was able to get on a flight that she just booked. Yeah no and we are also expected to believe that she booked it that night and landed that next morning around afternoon. It might make sense if she went across the country to change time zones but she doesn't. She goes from New York to Michigan. Anyway, the days are messed up in other places but that one stood out the most. This movie also had a very strange grandma that was very blunt for no reason. Oh it also had ghosts for no reason too. That part was very strange because they didn't do anything for the plot except talk to her dad.
Score
I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. I think the whole reason this movie got a semi decent score was because of the president at the end and the abuse of police power. Let's start with the president. He just kind of randomly made an appearance at this hotel because the main lady's dad used to work with him. It wasn't important to the plot because no main character knew that he was coming. He was still pretty cool though. The abuse of police power was crazy. The main lady has to go to the airport to go review a restaurant opening on Christmas so the cop pulls her over. He is completely out of jurisdiction and she questions him about it. He just outright admits that he is crazy. Pretty great stuff.
Watch what you love,
Your fellow film watcher
