it christmas eve and everything here in finland have be close at midday . so we all have to stay indoors and watch and for example and this movie . since i be not at my own home when this start and i do not change the channel . i might not have change it even at my own home since pretty much every channel be air some sort of family movie in the afternoon . so and i watch this and then come to imdb and only to be surprised how many comment ( 18 before me ) it have . i read them all . half of the seem to be write by member of the brian austin green fan club and not surprisingly those comment have a rating way above the 6. negative average this movie have at the time of writing . also and many comment use the word adorable and cute and somehow mistake their meaning with great . sorry but this be not a great movie . i would not bother with spoiler since there be none in this movie . this be one of those 13 fit in a dozen rom coms where and a one user put it simply represent you know exactly what will happen . this isn not the first time this exact plot have be use . and by exact plot i mean the plot and not the script . sure and the setting and dialog and some scene may be different than in the previous or follow iteration of this plot and but the core have be use before . call this movie innovative be an insult to the viewer intelligence . the actor ( other than the feverishly worship b. a. green ) aren not give anything challenge . the fact that two of them use to be in popular ( a good series ) do not make this movie special . there be only one performance that rise above the average and that be and not surprisingly and that of sara rue . since the rest of the cast be nobody and i will comment on the three lead . carly pope represent she get me in popular . after that show end and i be sad when she seem to vanish . look at her cv and she actually kinda do . i have see none of her work between popular and this time around . past this and i have see her guest star in tru call ( 1 episode ) and dirt ( 6 episode ) and the 4400 ( 1 ep ) and californication ( 2 eps ) and 24 ( 5 eps plus the tv movie ) . it seem she just can not land a regular cast member status and that surprise me not . ten year ago her look be enough for me and but by now i ( and probably the casting people ) have see that she really have very little talent . b. a. g. represent his character actually grow in beverly hill and 90210 and he be talented enough ( he not exactly daniel day lewis and be he . ) to make the most of it and mean that when that show be finally put out of it misery and he still have good chance at find a new job . and look at his cv represent he already have do ten role before his first bh2010 episode air on 4 october 1990. and at the time of writing and he do just over 40 role during or after bh90210 . that include a regular cast member status in four series . even the end of terminator represent the sarah connor chronicle hasn not leave him out of work . that because he talented . sarah rue represent back in 1999 and you would have think that lesley bibb and carly pope and tamara mello and christopher gorham would have a great career in front of them . well and it turn out bibb too have only her look ( which i do not find appeal ) to fall upon and while ( the extremely cute ) mello mysteriously vanish and only gorham make a career for himself . and then there be this kinda plump girl and who surely be destine to be restrict to side role for the rest of her career . but . rue ( who be really beautiful when her face lighten up the screen ) surprise u with her talent . during or after popular and she be in twenty project and include hit movie like pearl harbor and the ring and a regular cast member status in two series and while also guest star in others . that because she be talented . two talented actor can not save a movie with recycled script and bland cinematography and annoy edit pointless flashy speed ups and crash zoom and childish time lapse photography and most grating of all and totally superfluous ( except for one scene ) use of split screen . and do not even get me start on how generic and uninspired the use of music be . bottom line represent this be something that you can safely watch while do something else and since should you miss something and the chance be and you have see it in some other similar movie and therefore know what you miss . or rather and be spar from .
