Cute premise, but poorly executed. I didn’t mind the Hallmarkian city that our main characters just happened to be waylaid in, which just happened to be filming the sequel to a favorite Christmas movie. But the silliness of their decisions, the tantrums out of nowhere, and way they don’t recognize what’s going on around them was ridiculous and more characteristic of a children’s movie. It’s disappointing, because I have really enjoyed Uzma Jalaluddin’s books in the past.

2.5 stars
