The Merry Gentlemen

The ingredients were all there for some cheesy fun for those who like their eggnogs a little spicier. Only if it all wasn't so lazy, lukewarm, and unintentionally odd.

The dude who is endlessly lurking at the bar fixing things; the guy randomly dancing at a diner. The leads both appear to be sporting bad wigs (of varied colors!), always look strangely angry and resentful, and aren't terribly sympathetic.

That didn't add up to a feelgood Christmas romcom - and actually the movie felt more like a parody. The dance numbers were quite fun though - points for that.

On top of that, I resented that once again the woman is expected to give up her lifelong dream (of being a "Jingle Belle", no less) - or else she'd lose the man. Why can't she have both?
