Coupled Up for Christmas

Great American is really making strides with their Christmas movies, and in some ways they've caught and passed Hallmark. It's early yet, but this movie is better than anything Ive seen on Hallmark so far this year.

Sara Canning and Marcus Rosner play two people who love others, but in both cases the others have shown up with new love interests.

In a moment of desperation, they concoct a scheme to pose as a couple in the hopes that they will cause their loves to become jealous and reunite with them.

The resulting hijinks are humorous and warm and touching.

I had never seen Rosner play for laughs before, and he was great. Sara Canning was the perfect partner for him, as that's her forte.

In addition, the supporting casts are getting better, the writing is better, and if I may be forgiven saying so, the girls are getting more attractive.

I would definitely recommend this movie if you're in the mood for a light, traditional rom-com.

Seven.
