A Christmas Detour (2015 TV Movie)
5/10
Doesn't make sense
15 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
None of the characters are likable in the beginning of this movie, especially not Paige and Dylan. In Dylan's case, his humor might grow on you. Paige's disposition might partially be explained by her anxiety, even though she denies having any.

Even though their animosity towards each other seems to suddenly disappear, it is still hard to understand much of what happens between them after the change. Why in the world would she suddenly be willing to kiss him. The improvement is still nothing close to any reason for romantic feelings. There has been nothing between them to explain it. I realize that it is a common movie device to have two people who start out antagonistic turn into lovers, but in this case it is a transparent device - there is not enough spark. At best, the two just don't spend enough good times together.

Frank and Maxine's story is interesting, and definitely more reasonable.

There isn't enough humor to make up for the poor, unbelievable story.
