This was an enjoyable movie with several fun moments but, and here is the spoiler...they forgot to film the ending. My wife and I actually laughed out loud the non-ending was so bad. Think of reading a book only to find that the author never wrote the last chapter and that is what you have here.
To me, the actors and production staff did well and, overall, it was a good movie. Yes, there are several traditional Hallmarkish moments but not horribly so. It was just that horrible lack of any ending.
From what we can tell, the lead actress, Sarah Ramos, has continued with her relationship with the lead guy but what about that job she had accepted off in foreign lands?. Did she throw everything away regarding job prospects? Did she take the job and commute back to see lead guy? What? She certainly is not wearing a wedding ring in the last scene so, what gives?
All it would have taken is a very brief scene to explain developments but, nope, it just seems that the producers got tired of making the movie and just stopped, while leaving the audience hanging. Frustrating. Very Frustrating.

It was good until it wasn't.
Cringe Moments
I went into this movie with low expectations, especially after I saw the previews. Now, there are times when I'm wrong. However, this is not one of those times. I have to say, the lead actress who played Georgia, I found her character to be annoying, and I didn't really care for how she treated her sister. She wasn't supportive at all. The leading actor, I enjoyed him in the show The Royals, but the whole ACL tear and him walking around like it wasn't a big deal was definitely cringe. I didn't feel any chemistry between them. The entire storyline felt off, and it wasn't easy to remain engaged.
So much Potential, but a Fail
Had all the makings to be a good movie but lead actress was such bad casting. The male lead was perfect and plenty of nods to Notting Hill the movie, which I loved, but I felt no draw to the female lead -- she was sullen, grumpy, rude, in addition to just blatant bad acting. Finished this movie liking all the support cast but not understanding why he found her appealing. There were cute elements throughout but she was so antagonistic against liking him I was left wanting better for him. The rest of the storyline was nice and had the great Christmas feels. The setting in London during Christmas was also great.
