Another one of those Christmas movies
25 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
...where women don't deserve a shot at a career. So plot: Detroit girl Chloe moves to the Big Apple to make it big on Broadway - which of course is not happening. So she jobs in a gift shop in Jersey Until on one of those days when she is already late for work she bumps into small time jingle writer Jason. She continues singing everywhere and anytime for no apparent reason and people seem to be utterly charmed by her fabulous voice. And luck will have it that the lady who owns the building where the shop is located hears her and decides to rope Chloe and Jason into some amateur musical production of the neighbourhood. Jason is of course immediately in love with Chloe but to make things unnecessarily complicated, he is divorced and has a daughter so he can OF COURSE not let any girl nilly willy into their lives, and Chloe does not want to get involved as she has had it with the unsuccessful auditions and wants to go back to Detroit.

To make a tediously long story short: of course she finally catches a break and gets an audition on the exact same day and at the same time of the small neighbourhood production. After trying to move the audition it turns out the big time producer has no other time slot so now she has to choose: stick to the silly little musical thing or actually go to an audition that might in fact make her dream come true. And impressively she actually decides to go for the audition (good for you, girl). And while the lady producing the little neighbourhood show and love interest Jason seem supportive at first, dear Jason really turns out to be a bit of an idiot about it, when he tells Chloe that she should not come by the show after her audition cause he thinks his daughter got too attached to her and once she is famous on broadway Chloe won't have the time of day for them so it was better if she did not see his daughter. Nice one!!! So guilt ridden poor Chloe heads off to her audition and what does she do? You guessed it, she turns around and goes to the stupid little amateur show. Now of course this is TV so the nice little lady producing the amateur show happens to actually know the broadway producer and we have a happy end and both Jason and Chloe might get hired by her. So thank goodness because if only Chloe had gotten the job it would be likely dear Jason would have had to break up with her, as he already mentioned, she would have no time for him and his daughter if she had a career and was successful.

I have incredibly low standards for these movies already, but this one actually managed to pass under my limit, kudos for that. Acting terrible, script predictable Merry Christmas!
