Ok, this little struggling restaurant with three employees is going to cater a $1k per plate banquet? And as soon as she finally agrees (she has to be convinced, ok right...?) they skip off to drink cocoa in a nearby small town in the name of searching for the perfect menu? And they clearly have a spark, but who exactly is doing the work with only a week until the banquet? At the 1:30 min mark... the prince's disapproving parents arrive with an aristocratic (suitable) potential princess and they make it clear that the girl from Brooklyn just won't do for their son. It all works out of course, but I found it hard to look past the obvious imbalance in social status and the biracial element, which is not an issue for me, but IRL would clearly complicate matters. Also, even Christmas somehow took a backseat itself, until the final scenes. Just not hitting the mark with this one.
