Jolly Good Christmas (2022 TV Movie)
7/10
A Comedy of Errors
30 October 2022
My title probably describes this story as well as enumerating all of the reusable tropes contained in this movie. Anji is a personal shopper. Her business is struggling. David has to close a deal before Christmas and also he needs a gift for his girlfriend, the boss's daughter. David gets convinced that a gift card won't cut it so he hires Anji. They set off on the comedy of errors.

The beginning is cute as they literally run into each other more than once and exchange banter. A combination of situations occur that range from stupid to embarrassing to funny. Basically, it's all an excuse to throw the two leads together. Will Kemp and Reshma Shetty have good chemistry and watching their relationship develop is enjoyable.

And the last two scenes are a very nice wrap up for the movie.

For me, the humor wasn't that appealing, but my tastes don't run with most people's so I suspect a lot of people will find this movie quite good. For me the best barometer is whether I'll watch it again and this one, probably not. I would like to see more of Reshma Shetty. I always liked her on Royal Pains.
