THE HOLIDAY FIX-UP – Yep. Another schmaltzy Christmas film. My peeps tell me this is the formula, and they like it! They don’t care if the outcome is predictable, they don’t care if there’s any chemistry between the actors, they don’t care if the storyline is stupid. They know the boy will get the girl in the end. They know the dialogue is corny. They all tell me the same thing – the only thing they care about is being able to watch some mindless entertainment in the midst of too much reality. And since it’s the holidays, having some Christmas cheer thrown in is gravy. I get it. There’s something to be said for this and all my friends who are glued to Lifetime and the Hallmark channel in December (and now Netflix). We all need our escape from the daily grind of life wherever and however we can find it. And I would work on any of these projects in a heartbeat! In fact, I expected to be working on this one, but alas, no. So if this genre is your escape, you will enjoy this film. It checks all the typical boxes. And it was filmed in Mystic, CT, which is always fun for those of us who call the nutmeg state home. The film’s okay, but a loving toast to my peeps! Cheers! Zero boyfriends/girlfriends…but you won’t care 😉
