So we are trapped in a spiral of these rom-com Christmas movies. Pretty much all the same, pretty people over come non existent problems to live happy ever after. We seem to spend most of our time not watching to movie , but trying to figure out the locations . Don't think we were paying attention , but at some point we started really enjoying this one . Yes both leads are incredibly good looking , and some how, even the acting improves during show ..but bottom line , out of ALL OF THESE we've watched this year, CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS was one on better ones The characters are interesting, the story line is somewhat believable, there's even some natural chemistry between the two leads . Guess that's a good thing when i realized they're married in real life. but all in all.. fun movie , with amazingly naturally good look people , beautiful scenery, and the side cast was very entertaining..think most will be very pleasantly surprised. Look forward to viewing more collaborations between this husband and wife
