Review of A Christmas Detour

The main character, Paige, might possibly be the most obnoxious, self-absorbed, entitled character ever written. I don't know how much of this movie I can get through, but within the first 15 minutes, she's already displayed so many qualities that would drive the average person to drink. I don't even know where to begin. Let's see.... We'll start with her flight. The airline she booked clearly allows seat assignments because she selected an other-than-aisle seat and then demanded that upon check-in, the airline just randomly take someone else's seat and switch it with hers. Sorry, lady, but if I want an aisle seat, I select it in advance and if it's not available, I certainly don't steal it from someone else who had the foresight and luck to book it for themselves. Of course the airline says no, so she boards. When she arrives at her seat, she pretty much bullies other people into switching their seats so she can have theirs. Unbelievable. Ok, let's move on. She prattles on to anyone and everyone who will listen about her amazing fiancé, telling the same stories to the same people over and over, and insisting that EVERYONE look at his picture. And by everyone, I mean random people waiting in line for a shuttle at the airport. Ok, that's obnoxious, but once again, I'll move on. The weather shuts down the arriving airport so she's diverted to another city overnight and the airline provides hotel vouchers. When the hotel clerk checking her in advises her that the free hotel voucher is good for one night and will be re-evaluated the following day if the airports are still closed, she announced that it's not possible for the inclement weather to last another day and for the airports to remain closed. When the clerk informs her that they have no control over the weather as well as when the airports reopen (duh), she says "well then maybe I need to speak to your manager." It was at this point that I realized I wasn't going to get through this movie. The world is full of entitled Karen's, and I certainly don't need to relax and watch a Christmas movie starring the mother of all Karens. Sorry Hallmark, but this was a swing and a miss.
