I assume many of us are prone to quasi masochistically throwing on some hallmark crap around the holidays. This year, the allure of a Lindsay Lohan comeback made this stick out from the trash heap. It's hard to criticize as the flaws are baked into the genre. If you couldn't predict this would be predictable, your powers of prediction aren't what you think they are.
Still, you can't help but poke fun at the expected clichés, like how quickly the love interest sticks out for being far too perfectly coiffed for a small town nobody. I also had to snicker when I learned the actor's real life name is Chord Overstreet. I know making fun of someone's name is very high school bully of me, but he's out there making Lindsay Lohan movies, while I'm stuck here watching them, so who's the real loser?
If I can commend anything, the set decoration was elaborate. The background of every scene is so stuffed to the brim with Yuletide trinkets it's like they let a team of the most aggressively festive grandmas go to town spewing Christmas in every direction.
So grab some eggnog and your significant other and get weirdly wrapped up in a debate over how much plastic surgery Lindsay Lohan has had, 'tis the season.
