Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
At a solid 3.5 (rounded up to 4 for ease), this movie is another cute and funny romcom. Here’s a quick recap and my two cents 😉
Quick Recap
Becca and Robby’s marriage is in shambles. After 13 years, they’re ready to call it quits when their marriage counselor recommends a trip to Gracious, Vermont. They try to call it quits again after the first night, but a freak snowman accident keeps them in Gracious a little longer. While waiting for their car to be fixed, they begin to remember what their relationship use to be like.
My Two Cents
I can sympathize with Becca and Robby. I’ve been with my husband for almost 20 years. Sometimes I pause and ask where did the last 20 years go? College, dogs, houses, kids, it’s all made the time pass in the blink of an eye.
It’s true our relationship isn’t what it was when we first met. In many ways it’s better than it was back then. But we both put in the effort. Without that, it’s easy to let things slide and drift apart.
Becca and Robby let it slide too much, but they were willing to put in the effort to bring it back together. Luckily, they had a marriage counselor who knew of a special place they could go to reconnect.
I loved a lot about this movie! The ornament falling on the car, all the little tasks the B&B owners assigned Becca and Robby, becoming locked in the Christmas storage area, llama grams, and so much more! I especially loved the chemistry between the two leads.
My heart melted when Becca and Robby were decorating their stockings and Robby opened up about the baking class and his reasons for taking it. I loved how open and honest he was. Apologizing for what he’s done wrong.
I swear I could listen to Kristoffer Polaha (and Luke McFarlane) all night long. I loved his monologues. Both men should record stories for the Calm app. Not that I’ve used it, but I might if they were reading me stories!
Squirrel!
Not everyone will like this movie, but I think the majority of people who like romcoms will. And if you make it through until the end, the last 15 minutes are totally worth it!

Zero stars. Watched for 20 minutes only. Plot to that point inane and disjoint. Utterly unwatchable. Don’t waste your time.
I also couldn’t stand on this one. It was terrible for me. 🙁
