Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBecause filming took place during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the cast and crew were tested daily, and the kissing scenes were shot with plexiglass between the actors.
- GoofsMila tells Izzi, "Your holiday themed book was supposed to be available for the holidays," referring to the reason she won't allow the final draft deadline past Christmas Eve. Even though the book is for next Christmas, that statement makes no sense in a pure rationale perspective of not having some flexibility in the deadline.
- Quotes
Bob: Izzi. What do I owe the pleasure again?
Izzi Simmons: I just have a quick question.
Bob: Let me guess. You saw the remodeled aesthetics.
Izzi Simmons: About that. Um, my floors... I mean, your floors, technically, they used to have a distinct squeak. But the thing is, now the squeak is gone and there's a carpet over the floorboards.
Bob: I'm sensing you don't like the carpet.
Izzi Simmons: Was this your idea?
Bob: No, it was, uh, his. Meet the new owner of the B&B, my son. He just moved back from Seattle.
Izzi Simmons: Desmond?
Matt: Uh, actually, no. It's uh... It's Matt.
Izzi Simmons: Matt?
Matt: Yup. Matt.
Izzi Simmons: Your name is Matt?
Matt: Yeah. Like, short for Matthew.
Izzi Simmons: You look exactly like... You know what, um, never mind. This is, this is so... This is something, this is confusing and confounding and a little bit exciting.
Matt: Uh, okay. Well, to answer your question, uh, you're not hearing that squeak cause I fixed the floorboards. It's actually very simple, you just sprinkle a little baby powder over the squeaky floorboard, work it in the seams. Lubricates the wood, keeps the boards from rubbing together.
Izzi Simmons: Neat. That's, like, so neat.
Matt: Yea, well. I realized it's only a temporary solution. So, uh, we went carpeted.
Izzi Simmons: No, you went carpeted. We went squeaky floors, right, Bob?
Bob: Oh, I'm going Switzerland on this one.
Matt: Are you?
Izzi Simmons: I'm gonna go out of this room. Um, I have to leave, um, my editor is calling and I have to take this in my room.
Matt: Your phone didn't ring or buzz.
Izzi Simmons: Um, I meant, I have to call her. You know how editors are.
Matt: No. Not really. How are they?
Izzi Simmons: They need to be called back.
Matt: Well, you better call her back then.
Izzi Simmons: That's what I'm gonna do. Bye!
- ConnectionsReferences Seinfeld (1989)
I wouldn't say that I gave it my full attention as I played games at the same time as watching, but this type of film is made to be easy watching. We all know how it's going to end and we all know how they're going to get there. Even with that said, I think there could have been a bit more depth, as there was potential for it to have quite a lot of sentiment, but like a lot of these films it seemed quite rushed or like some of it was skipped or edited out completely.
It's got the seasonal setting and the festive activities, but it just lacked a bit of heart.
Not top of my list, but I might watch it again in a few years.
