The good: The costumes was the only positive aspect of the movie.
The bad: the acting was sub par, the main character has zero self awareness. For example: in the church the guy starts sneezing loud enough to be heard in Iceland, doesn't even try to cover his mouth. He eventually gets up and goes outside, then begins shouting on his phone at the top his lungs. The director can't get enough of the close ups. The cringe worthy racism reminded me of an 80's after school movie. The spicy food scene was predictable and unfunny. Seriously, what made him think the Norwegian family would be used to spicy food? Again, zero self awareness. Though I do have one question: where did he buy those strong spices? Even the outdoor scenes were bland, like the acting.
The ugly: watch this if you want to know how not to make a romcom, otherwise avoid it. I enjoy cheesy Christmas themed romcoms, this movie didn't have either.
