Holidate

A typical rom com that follows something similar to friends with benefits storyline with holidays added in.

Easy going, fun and feel good

Don't expect more than that and you'll enjoy it

It is no Richard Curtis film (e.g., Notting Hill, Love Actually) but a pretty good romantic comedy nonetheless. The acting was good; Emma Roberts was good and so was the supporting cast. The storyline was what I expected but it kept me engaged thru out, and I even shedded a tear or two during the last scene. If you are looking for 'depth' you should probably choose another genre of film. Though, to be fair, the film does touch on a very important issue facing many Western democracies today, that is, loneliness. But this film will cheer you up for 90 minutes at least.

Some of the critic reviews on this are way too harsh. The clearly don't know the genre well. My sister and I watch a LOT of sappy Christmas romances. I mean a lot. And many of them are just downright awful, so our bar is admittedly low. This one was actually a really good time and we quite liked it. The chemistry is there with the very likable leads. They both brought a lot of wit to a script that was admittedly awkward and stupid at times (though it had its moments). Luke Bracey in particular was very fun to watch.We laughed ourselves crying a few times, and overall we really enjoyed the film. Critics need to lighten up.

The chemistry between the two leads is so great. They are very convincing as lovers, which makes it particularly enjoyable to watch.

Why all the bad reviews?? People seriously get over yourselves don't be scared lol to enjoy a nice simple RomCom or yourselves on that matter. No it was not an Oscar winning movie but I thought it was cool and enjoyed it. I thought everything about it was good in sense of acting, storyline, chemistry, characters all the way to the cinematography. I passed an hour and a half pretty good. Lol why the guy was Aussie I don't know but who doesn't love us Aussies lol all in all enjoyable movie and haters again get over yourselves and stop taking yourselves so seriously it makes YOU boring not the movie
