Yeah ... this movie is NOT award-worthy fare ... BUT ... there are cute moments in this QUIRKY-infested sort'a rom-com ... that hits on some not-often-covered relationship snafus people encounter ... but most don't talk about. The female-trio is almost high-schooli'ish (why ARE these women *friends*!?!). Matt Merchant delivers a very complicated performance of a clearly very complicated person. Michelle was the MOST normal persona + wrote+sang a decent closing song. You will neither harm nor exercise your brain with this one ... but it is definitely worth the time if you're in for some exceedingly light fare. As the credits show - this one got by with a lotta help from the writer/director's family+friends.

Hokey, Cheezy, Awkward, Creepy and....
Suspenful! Will the cowboy kill them all at Christmas? Can't argue with other reviewers here but I'd actually recommend this film because it's so freaking odd. If you sat down to watch this movie you couldn't be expecting anything but holiday schmaltz anyway so give it a watch. Trust me... you've not seen anything like it ?. I have never before seen not heard of any of these actors and it's unlikely I ever will again. If Harlequin Romance was ever a movie? This is it. I wonder if any of this cast thought it was their big break? Hope not. If you're a budding filmmaker watch this flick for it's lessons in mistakes not to make.
Really Bad Movie - Do Not Watch
Hope you come here first and read all these comments before you waste your time. The main actress was the writer and director of this movie. Olivia should have known better. She portrayed her gender very poorly and made her Asian friend look like a stupid bimbo. Literally stupid. I could not believe it. If I met her two friends at a party I would get away from them as fast as I could. The best acting was done by the main character's mother and she had very little screen time. I'm sorry but maybe it's because they couldn't afford to pay mainstream actors they got a lesser talented group and let one of them write and direct.
Now, maybe I'm not being fair. Maybe the actors were doing what they were told to do -- if so, Olivia should be drummed out of the actors/writers/directors Guild or whenever they call it. She was passable as an actress but horrible as a writer and director. It was one of THE WORST movies I've seen for a long time and that's saying something.
When I looked up the main actor Matt Merchant, on IMDb everything under his name said stunt performer. Wow. Instead of acting shy he came across as creepy. If the director thought he was doing a good job, she should not be directing for a living. Never be allowed on a movie set again.
Most of the reviews I've read here say he gave off a serial killer vibe. That's EXACTLY how I felt. I knew nothing was going to happen because of the cutesy music but it was still unnerving. And the writer did NOT do any favours for her gender gender. Made them all seem like sleazy, easy women who jump in and out of bed with men. Their conversation was cheap and lurid at times. Not necessary. Just because people are like that in real life doesn't mean I want it shoved down my throat in a pretend feel-good movie. I felt ambushed. The director probably thinks she's really "woke". That's 1 hour and 45 minutes I'm never going to get back. Guess I hung in there just to see how this trainwreck was going to end. Again, do not choose this movie.
