Poor Lucy. It seems that the Christmas Wish project is more about her than granting wishes for everyone else.
First, she cons the guy who asked for help with his proposal to give away a free tree off his lot.
Then, she decides that his proposal should be public with a snow machine, even while knowing that it's not the way he wants it. He is clearly uncomfortable with it, but feels snowballed into following her plans because, after all, she's the Christmas Wish granter.
He says it doesn't feel right for either him or his girlfriend, and she tells him it's memorable. He tells her right out, "Not for me and my girlfriend."
Does that stop her? No.
How is that a good thing?
Why is it all about her when she's told to her face that she's going too far? Why is the granting of Christmas Wishes all about her wishes?
Then there's Lucas.
He walks right up to them when it's clearly a personal moment between them as he proposes, his way, thankfully, minus the public viewing and the snow machine.
He butts in, saying, "Oh, was I interrupting?"
They say, "Yes, kind of..."
Did that stop him? No.
He ignores that these two people need the privacy of their special moment and promptly asks for their help.
These two selfish people, Lucy and Lucas, are perfect for each other.
She can spend all her time with him thinking about doing everything her way and he can spend his time with her thinking about doing everything his way.
So much for granting wishes for other people.
Their obvious selfishness kind of clouded the rest of the movie for me.
It should be called I DID IT MY WAY. Old Blue eyes can be singing in the background of their lives.
