The best part of the movie for me was some of the witty dialogue between the two leads. For example it went something like this.
Angie- "I feel like I don't fit in here" Nicholas- "That is precisely what makes you stand out" These moments were thought provoking and provided depth to the characters. The 2 leads did a nice job.
Another nice feature was a Christmas stocking where the characters would put things that were only of value to them. Great stuff that really helped to identify with the characters in the story.
Also thought the character of Max was well done. A cool friend with cool language to give some humor to what Nicholas was feeling.
Oh yes- Lesley-Anne Down with an English accent (we saw her 30 years ago as Madelaine on North and South mini-series)
With all this good- why not a ten? The cousin Candace part did not add to the story- it may have been good for a few laughs. Such a superficial character- not really believable. Also the first 30 minutes were very lively full of surprise, but then some parts got a bit slow and predictable.
The witty dialogue and literary quotes between the two leads would get me to watch it again, but I'd have to tolerate cousin Candace.
