Mistletoe Magic (2019 TV Movie)

Another Negative Happiest Time Of The Year Movie

[3/10 · 28 December 2020]

I have a steadfast rule, if after the 1st 20 minutes of a movie I'm miserable, and the degree is gaining exponentially, then there's NO reason to torture myself, ESPECIALLY around my favorite holiday! If ever there were a checklist of things that Christmas or romance movies in general to wrong, this movie would check then all! Main character a Grinch. Her family's obsessed with Christmas. Her best friend is off her meds and on too much sugar. She's been too long in a relationship with a guy who doesn't care about anyone other than his own reflection. Family has a goofy off the wall Christmas tradition/heirloom that the world would end if if was lost. Aaaannnnddd through her negligence, if got lost while in her custody! I'm CERTAIN, had I tortured myself further, I would have found: 1. they eventually find said item and after it almost leads her to suicide, it DOES 2. leads her to a really best guy and by some twist of sanity, 3. In the2-3 days they know each other, he proposes, 4. She gets the promotion instead of her ex- which was why he was keeping her away from work before! Yeah, the whole thing is a setup, and painful to watch! I'm gonna bounce!
