In a Nutshell: Fun cast, great cameos (especially The
President). Quite good! The kind of non-traditional rom-com I
like.
Quick Plot: The intertwined lives (and loves) of couples and
singles at Christmas.
In Detail: Not as good as Playing By Heart (if you haven't seen
this film, go rent it right now!), but still very well done.
The lives were actually not quite as intertwined as I would have
liked, but enough people touched enough others to keep it
interesting. Probably all within Six Degrees of Kevin Bac....
er, Separation, but I didn't check. Left one loose end, which I
found frustrating. Even if it wasn't wrapped up neatly (fine,
given the circumstances), it should have been mentioned at the
end, I think. And Sam, the little boy, steals the *entire*
movie!
Will I Buy It? Not sure. I'll have to think about it a little
more.
