By now you know what a huge Zoey Deutch fan I am.
This movie was another highlight for the month of December!
It starrs Zoey Deutch, Leah Jeffries (“Beast”), thee icon Shay Mitchell, and another icon Reese Witherspoon, Morgan Lennon, just to name a few.
This movie was directed by Daryl Wein
This movie was released on December 9th 2022 on Prime Video. It was rated PG-13 for language, profanity, suggestive comments and some drug references.
This movie is a Comedy/Family/Romance.
Onto the premise: Follows a woman as her life gets upended when an engagement ring that was for someone else leads her to the person she’s meant to be with.
This movie was based on the novel of the same name by Melissa Hill.
Honestly If I were not a fan of Zoey Deutch, this movie probably wouldn’t have been on my radar due to the small amount of marketing, but I’m glad I am!!! It was a cute holiday movie; predictable, sweet, funny, and well executed. I loved the friendships and bonds between characters and the sense of family, it was all so enjoyable and heartwarming. It was obvious from the beginning that neither of the leads were with the right romantic partner, so how nice it was to see them end up with one another.
Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a feel-good, somewhat cheesy romance!
like a better paced script, like a simmering dish.
This one has a VERY rushed and cramped start, leaving almost no room for unexpected developments or time to better know the characters.
But even if it rushed out the gate, the actors do a great job at not cheapening the feel-good and/or comfort movie experience.
Overall I really enjoyed this movie and it was everything I wanted to be despite its predictability. It still was a great holiday flick.
