Yes, we are here yet again, with yet another feelgood festive film!
Tonight we watched;
Most Wonderful Time of the Year
So, the story goes like this; the Uncle of a beautiful single Mother; Jennifer Cullen, (played by the gorgeous Brooke Burns) shares a flight with an handsome young chap called Morgan, (played by the equally handsome Warren Christie).
Morgan and Uncle Ralph (played fantastically by Henry Winkler), hit it off on the flight and get talking, when they arrive at their destination, Morgan finds his next flight is cancelled due to snow, so he is stuck at the airport. So, Uncle Ralph convinces his niece (Jennifer) to allow the "stranger" to stay with them; "just for one night.....".
Well, the one night turns in to two, and with some playful tactics from Uncle Ralph, who is convinced that Morgan is good for his niece, the stay gets lengthened.
Morgan is considerate, kind and helpful and is great with Jens' Son; Brian. He tries to help Jen find the Christmas Spirit.
Jen already has a boyfriend who is a bit of a jerk! Uncle Ralph is not keen on him and does what he can to put him down, whilst promoting Morgan.
It is a predictable storyline. And it is typical of the Christmas Romance genre, but these movies are great!! They promote love, romance, Christmas spirit, goodwill etc. And that's not a bad thing is it?
Also, Henry Winkler is superb! He does steal the film somewhat, delivering some great, dry humorous lines. Also, the chemistry between Morgan and Jen (Burns & Christie) is really evident and they provide a spark of romantic realism.
It's a great film and should be in the Top Twenty of Christmas films to watch!
Enjoy.
