Christmas with a View (2018)
This has become a yearly watch in my house
Ya'll. It's bad. And yet, my roommate and I watch it every. Single. Year. We love it.
The strange floating people in the beginning at what seemed like a Top Chef competition but definitely wasn't? Perfection.
Unappetizing food plated poorly by the winner of the competition? Yes.
Deceased moms, non-existent steaks, non existent STAKES, and what seems like a deliberate PR campaign to make sure we the audience are excited by the idea of dating a city planner? I'll take it.
Also, bonus for a very ethnically ambiguous family lead by Vivica A. Fox. I don't know who is related to who, no adoption, foster or "chosen family" storyline to follow. It's perfect.
You ask, every year we watch this? The answer is YES.
There is truly nothing better than the cinematic universe of Christmas MOW's made in Canada, and this one definitely takes the cake.
Christmas Casanova (2023)
An actual disruption in the Hallmark-esque Christmas movie formula
Genuinely loved this movie.
Yes there's still the overarching themes you find in all of these MOW Christmas films, but there were spins that genuinely left me excited to add this to my yearly watch.
1) The boss. Comedy chops were 10/10. Absolute scene-stealer.
2) The storyline of a Pakistani man participating in Christmas with a platonic female friend + her fam felt like a true depiction of my best friend. I never get to see his background represented in these so I was over the moon.
3) Female lead was so fun to watch. I loved the Bonnie character too!
4) Male lead is making me rethink the platonic part of my friendship with my aforementioned bestie because have you seen Faud Ahmed's dreamy face?!
