I'm finding Melissa McCarthy to be a real turn-on! Especially when she's styled right, she is definitely a crush of mine. I feel so warm and cozy about her. And this movie itself is so warm and cozy. The best Christmas movie of 2023? Maybe so!
Fun fact: When I first saw the trailer for this film, I said to myself it seems like we're making a return to the fun tone of 1980s / 1990s movies. Well, it turns out, there's a reason for that - this is a remake of a 1990s movie! And in fact, the same person who made the first movie is the same person responsible for this one. So, you're not really missing anything by not watching the original. The writer of the original said that he never felt like it was fleshed out to his liking, so he wanted to redo it. And now he got the chance. Dreams do come true, and wishes sometimes our granted. That's what this movie is all about, and everything comes full circle! :-)
