The story is obviously a take on Cyrano de Bergerac. Even Holly mentions that in the movie. There are a few of the common Rom/com tropes, but a lot of the common Christmas ones are not in this movie. The general outcome is predictable.
For me, two things were noticeable on the negative side. The audio sounded like it was cut in a busy area like a bar because background conversations were distracting. Very annoying! And many of the conversations between Holly and either of the two male opposites were awkward. Strange dialogue. Those with Josh might have been meant that way, but it was even true with David on too many occasions. As a result it was hard to see chemistry with Elisabeth Harnois and Jonathan Togo, but there was some.
There are a couple of funny moments. The confrontation between Josh and the recruiter with what followed was a good one. David's "date" to the prom is a nice touch also.
According to this website, the filming location is Lafayette LA. That's interesting because snow on the ground is prominent throughout the movie. A web search confirms that snow is rare, even problematic, in Louisiana.
