Ava V Great Christmas movie! Definitely watch! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review divya r A horrible Christmas movie to watch. A toxic stuck up man trying to ruin a good woman's life and the woman giving in all the time, being cheerful and accommodating, and what's worse is she eventually falls for him. TRAGIC is the word for this movie.
