Have A Good Day

During the 2020 holiday season, we watched a Christmas movie each day from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day. At the peak of the pandemic, we literally had nothing better to do. Elke chose from old favorites and Netflix recommendations, and while we did start a movie every day, we didn’t finish them all. Some were simply too cringeworthy and cheap to get through. Others were bad, but at least well-made, like Happiest Season with Kristen Stewart, which tackled a real, sensible situation in a very ham-fisted way. On Saturday, we kicked off the season with Champagne Problems, which follows the common trope of a woman and a man attracted to each other but caught up in conflict on the business side. It turned out to be unexpectedly sweet, with likable characters and stunning locations.
