Summary
A psychic advent calendar helps a young woman, played by Kat Graham, to see her future.
I will admit this film’s premise has some goofy appeal, a psychic advent calendar at least feels fresh, I haven’t seen one of them in a Christmas film before, however this freshness is quickly undone as the calendar is merely used as a means to an end to enter into the usual holiday rom-com cliches.
Indeed it seems I hoped for too much with this film as it quickly becomes generic. All of the rom-com cliches and tropes are dusted off and forced out on stage for good measure, the love triangle feels incredibly obvious in where it is leading and there are no stakes at all in the whole thing as we all know how it is going to end.
The acting is all fairly sub-par and for Graham who I know can act because she was okay on The Vampire Diaries this is clearly her slumming it for an easy paycheck.
Overall, even the whacky premise can’t save this film from becoming a bag of cliches and tropes.
Pros.
The goofy premise
It is watchable
Cons.
The pacing
It is generic
It is nothing you haven’t already seen before
