Il più bel regalo di Natale

Christopher Russell is a rom/com veteran. I won't say he is the best actor in the genre, but he shouldn't be this bad. His start was terrible. This Chet is the epitome of the jaded reporter and Russell overplays his selfishness and insincerity. Suddenly a lot of that disappears as he begins to bond with Cara. But the man is still clueless and still putting his dream of fame first. Throughout the movie even until just before the end, he is bent on his promotion and he can't see how he is hurting Cara. I just didn't believe that this man could change.

Cara is a gem which it seems everyone else in the story knows. She accepts her ex-husband's new fiancé into her home so that the family can celebrate Christmas. She even makes Suzy her friend. She is generous to everyone. And she is sensitive. Much of the movie centers around setting Cara up with dates.

Except for Russell, the acting is ok and so is the dialogue. Amelia Harrison pulls off the young Megan without overacting.
