Let's be honest - the rom-com formula has been done to the extreme.
No matter how hard writers try to find a unique angle - the formula remains pretty much the same.
This movie rides that line of finding a new approach like - exes being forced to spend Christmas together with family.
Rather than being a heartwarming reunion, the family makes the son feel less welcome than the nasty ex-fiance.
There is a bet between the two exes on who will get to stay with the family for Christmas, REALLY?
I guess they figured they had Robbie Amell as the shiny sparkly wrapping that none of the characters needed to have any substance underneath.
In spite of the above, it does have a few entertaining moments.
I give it a solid 6 stars, do with that what you will.
