pitbullcrystalstreamz Review of Same Time, Next Christmas

Same Time, Next Christmas (2019 TV Movie)

SPOILER ALERT: Acting was good, storyline, Eh.

[1/10 · 10 December 2019]

I'm always one to love a dreamy love story. For me this film fell short and found me constantly disliking characters that I know the writers wanted the audience to support and root for. I found myself feeling disappointed with all these people who could care less about a guy who truly loved a girl and clearly cared for her. I wondered why family of the characters in the film would want to intervene with and wish for a couple that has been together for so long and were in love to not end up together, because they felt they were all knowing. All because of some Christmas vacation romance that never was, until the male half never met anyone else after giving it a second go with his baby mama. Then the Guy realized his baby mama wasn't what he wanted and he wanted the girl who toyed her boyfriend along for years, decided she wants everyday to be like her Christmas vacations in Hawaii were once a year, so they all of a sudden will have this perfect life together. In real life that couple would end up divorced in less than a year., when they realized they don't know or like each other. There was a weak attempt made to get the audience to want to hate the original boyfriend, because he didn't do the things the other guy did with the girl once a year at Christmas when they were kids. Another weak attempt At drawing support for the characters choice to be together, was showing a year had passed since that memorable day when all the stars lined up and they decided to finally accept that they were Soul mates and be together for ever. The best part was when they were standing at the cliff. I felt a glimmer of happiness, because I finally thought they would both get what they deserved, when they dove head first into the rocks below. Just my review and 2 cents.
