Summary
Kate, played by Jen Lilley, is a workaholic who is tasked with prepping an inn for sale during the holidays, little does she know it is haunted.
There is some charm here let it not be said there isn’t, however, the cliches and the laughably dumb plot really hold it back.
So yes the lead falls in love with the ghost, played by Thomas Beaudoin, that is the plot of the film, but wait is he even a ghost? The film says yes but then he becomes human for twelve days a year or something because he is cursed… None of it makes sense.
Moreover, though the film wants us to celebrate the love between the lead and the ghost we really shouldn’t be, the ghost has or rather had a wife which the film is totally fine with him abandoning for his new girlfriend. The morals are all over the place and it gives the film and iffy taste to it that takes away from some of the charm.
Despite all of this this film is charming and the romance does feel genuine and warm which allows the film to have something good to cling to.
Overall, a subpar Christmas rom-com with a plot that makes no sense and a charming romance that is overshadowed by troublesome morals.
Pros.
The leads are both serviceable
The romance feels genuine
Cons
Troublesome morals
A silly plot
Pacing issues
