Christmas A La Carte (2021)-
It's hard to believe that either of the leads could get a partner, they're both horrible people and don't really seem to get any better as the story progresses. I did like his intention to spend more time with his daughter, but it's easy to see that it won't last.
To start with, I thought that his quirky look might be attractive, but he really didn't grow on me. In that respect they were perfectly matched, because I didn't like her face either. If I had realised that I didn't like him sooner, I would have turned it off, although it's not the worst I've ever seen. I tend to watch the ones with people that I like in so it keeps my interest and skip the others, as life's too short to watch uggo's!
It's not overly Christmassy and could have been set at any time of the year with the same results.
With that said, the story in general is nice and the acting is okay too. With nicer actors and better direction I think that they could have had a bigger hit, but this didn't appeal to me and I doubt I'll watch it again in the next 5-10 years.
5ish/10?
