Here's the thing: I'm usually a big fan of romance movies, and especially Christmas movies...but this one has a lot of problems. First of all, Hunter (who is our Beast figure in this Beauty and the Beast retelling) does a complete character change out of nowhere. For the first few days he is super rude to everyone, then our Mrs. Potts character has a chat with him and all of a sudden he's head over heels in love with this random girl he met a few days before. I'm sorry, but no. Also, the cheesiness is unbelievable in this movie, including the two lovebirds walking outside, one of them trips (I still don't understand how?) and falls on top of the other one and they stare at each other longingly before getting embarrassed and standing up. Also, the music is super dramatic for a movie with almost no real drama and it is very loud and distracting. Also, the Gaston figure in the movie is just ridiculously unrealistic and honestly, pretty useless to the romantic plot. Overall, this movie drove me crazy, but I will say that I honestly wasn't expecting Hunter to propose to Belle A FEW DAYS after they met.
