Hoping for better bingo luck with our next pick, we decided to try this movie.
Olivia is excited to do something for a Christmas home show. Her boss springs the news on her that her project is now being taken over by a man who works on a reality TV show. While throwing a hissy fit about the situation, she just hops into a car thinking it's her rideshare.
Of course it's the main dude, Chris. He's decided to take Olivia's show in a different direction. They're going to renovate her childhood home for the show. The house is falling apart, but it still has power somehow. While she's in there wallowing in self-pity, a letter in the vent starts blinking. Santa has given her like 3 weeks to find her soulmate. His name is Nick.
The next day, within like 15 minutes, she meets Nick A, Nick B, and Nick C. I'm not kidding, those are their initials. The main man's last name is Davis, so I dare you to guess where this is going...
Anyway, her initial dates with these men involve her injuring them (one could've died), but they all three decide to go out with her again. While she's thinking over her preferences, her letter starts blinking again, and she learns she'll lose her chance at happiness forever if she doesn't figure it out by Christmas Eve. My daughter interpreted that as Santa was going to "take them out," which added a new aspect of the movie for us. Side note: why didn't Olivia's family take their stuff when they moved? What kind of family leaves all their Christmas ornaments behind when they move? And since Olivia was staying at the house, why hadn't she seen the entire room that was full of her family's stuff?
Other than the woman being the absolute worst, this one was probably one of the most tolerable we've seen so far. We laughed a few times, and we all got a Bingo! On the Hallmark Scale (which is different from my regular movie scale), this one would rank as a Tolerable. The "Love Pentagon" worked out pretty well. Liked the resolution at the end with the Nicks.
