So predictable, yet so good. This is a creative twist to the twelve days of Christmas theme.
Brooke Nevin and Robin Dunne are great on screen together. You can see the chemistry all the way back in the college scenes, and it never lessens. And this movie puts them together a lot. So many other movies have the future lovers together for such small parts of the movie, but in this movie their relationship is almost always on screen, even if one of them is momentarily off the screen. This factor is a major part of my enjoyment of the movie.
And the story is so heartwarming and good. True it is corny. True, Mitch should have figured it out early in the game, probably after Briana confessed it wasn't her. And Mitch should have jumped on the relationship long before the secret was out. They were clearly already in love. Also Mitch and Rita's outrage are totally hypocritical, thus making their outrage a little unbelievable.
In a day where journalism has sunk to new lows and no longer presents honest or unbiased news, Maggie's crimes against journalistic integrity are so forgivable. Still her confessions on the front page are yet another sparkling ornament to the story, like the angel on top of the tree.
The Twelve Gifts not only helped Mitch to renew his love for Christmas, but bolstered mine as well.
