Eve Carter (Leana Adams, who co-directed - with Kristina Arjona - and wrote this movie) is a middle-aged child star who has lost out on the comeback she wanted. As she hides at her sister Ashley's (Ashlee Heath) house, she finds out that she's sharing the place with Ace Strong (Tyler Buckingham), a stuntman who is healing from an accident and dogsitting Ashley's dog Mickey. Eve decides that if she wants the house to herself, she has to get Ace back with his ex-girlfriend.
Back in 1987, Eve was in the movie within this movie, Christmas With the Jerks, playing Cookie Jerk, a little girl who helped her family find the true reason for the season. Maybe she never learned that lesson herself but it isn't too late.
As for Ace, for being such a talented stuntman, he really got hurt getting dressed.
This isn't the typical streaming holiday movie. The characters feel real and yes, we know how it's going to all end up, but it does such a great job getting there. You come away wanting the leads to fall for each other instead of feeling cringy as the romantic moments happen.
Also, Mickey the dog is awesome.
