Movie Review: If I Only Had Christmas

Rating:
5/5

This is such a cute movie! I loved everything from the first meeting to the family filled ending. Candace Cameron Bure and Warren Christie are the perfect match in this fun romcom!

Quick recap:

Darcy is a Publicist who makes a bid to do the PR for Austin Inc (AI), but doesn’t get the account. So instead, she volunteers to create a PR campaign for Emerald Education Trust (Emerald), which is owned by AI.

Darcy meets with Glen Goodman to discuss the PR campaign and Glen decides to watch over her as she works her magic on Emerald to create a PR campaign that works for everyone.

This movie is definitely 5 star worthy. I absolutely love Darcy! I mean, who doesn’t?! Even the most cold hearted Dr. Tinsley eventually gives in to Darcy’s charms. 

I don’t think anyone stands a chance against the force of nature that is Darcy. She is a total “YES!” girl. She doesn’t stop when someone says “No.” She finds new ways to accomplish her goal, but not at the cost of hurting someone’s feelings. She builds confidence and trust in everyone she meets. She’s a good person deep down and it shows!

Even when Darcy meets Glen and doesn’t know it’s him, she nicely calls him a jerk by calling him Curmudgeony and a “No” guy, but she does it in such a way that Glen doesn’t take offense. Instead, Glen agrees with her and asks her to dinner. It’s so cute! Apparently I need to insult my husband more to get a few dates out of him. Haha! But Glen’s right…how often do you hear unsolicited honest feedback about yourself? Not often enough!

I could gush about this movie all night, but I won’t. I want you to be able to enjoy many of the wonderful jokes and life lessons yourself.

I would be lying if I said there was anything surprising about this movie. I called the ending within the first 10 minutes, but that’s okay. Candace and Warren are absolutely adorable together! They carry the movie through the predictable plot.

Give this movie a try and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Happy movie watching y’all!!
