My reverse harem reading self was slightly hoping this would turn into a ménage à trois movie. But that’s definitely a little too risqué for sweet Hallmark. As disappointing as that is, this movie is anything but disappointing! Here’s a quick recap and my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
Liz and Naomi had high school crushes on the popular guy Chris Silver. He had so many girl friends, that they use to call his love conquests “Chris’d.” Now they’re back home for the holidays and continue to run into their hotter than ever high school crush. Will one or both of them become Chris’d?
My Two Cents
My favorite movie I’ve watched so far this season! It’s lighthearted, funny, and surprisingly deep (if you want it to be). And even though it wasn’t Hallmark’s first ménage à trois movie, it was still entertaining!
Initially it looked like this movie would provide more cat fighting over Chris, but instead it focused more on Naomi and Liz’s relationship, which I truly felt. It’s hard growing up with your best friend and at the end of high school you either part ways and go to different Universities or stay together.
Both decisions come with potential issues. For Naomi and Liz those potential issues come to a head. And they need to determine how their relationship will evolve to overcome their challenges. I loved how this story line played out!
Then there was Chris. Not gonna lie, he isn’t my favorite Hallmark character. I really didn’t like how he lied about being vegan. Did we ever receive an explanation for it?! I didn’t feel like we did and I didn’t understand what purpose the lie served?
Despite Chris not being my favorite character, I still really enjoyed the movie. Maybe Hallmark will do a sequel where Naomi and Chris breakup and Chris and Liz start something, but then they break it off and both Naomi and Liz find someone better? It could be fun Hallmark! You can call it Better than Chris’d 🙂
If you have a chance, try this movie. It’s a fun way to spend a quiet evening without tears. Haha. Let me know what you thought! Leave a comment!
