Yes, the movie has many flaws as far as writing, directing and acting go.
Yes, it is cliché (a lot).
But it perfectly depicts what a Christmas movie should be about. Seasonal movies, in my opinion, are not meant to be works of art, but instead a tool/device/vehicle to remember the public what the season should be about. Add to that the chivalry code, honor and bravery and you have this movie.
