#Movie christmas in vienna movie#

Not quite the punchline Christmas in Vienna makes it out to be.Īnd yet, and this WILL shock you, so please sit down: Christmas in Vienna may be my favourite Hallmark Christmas movie of 2020 so far.

It isn’t just a “get yourself something nice” gift certificate (although that might be perfectly acceptable, particularly for teenagers and young adults who need and want nothing like they need and want cash), it’s for a specific, COVID-safe, Christmas-themed event that we’ll attend with pleasure.

The gift certificate, however, is definitely going to get used. Because he really, really thinks it’s fun. So much so that he’ll probably sacrifice the warm toes (or, you know, wear some of his previously owned socks) just to keep the socks looking like pizza. The socks were an easy sell they came attractively packaged like they were a pizza, and if there’s anything Sean likes better than warm toes, it’s pizza. And you know what? Both were extremely well-received. It also goes out of the way to shame the leading man about his gift-giving disability: socks and gift certificates? But also on Saturday night: Sean was gifted both socks and gift certificates by my mother. That’s not the only thing Christmas in Vienna gets wrong. It’s mostly just a failure of limbs and a surplus of embarrassment. It’s rarely cute or dainty or half-graceful or utterly feminine or charmingly endearing like it is in the movies. As he rather unromantically uttered “Holy shit!” But that’s how falling goes in real life. Got punched in the face, took a split second to realize I was badly hurt and pretty stunned, then just started stumbling backward until I ended up on my ass. Do you know how many times I’ve fallen into a man’s arms in my life? None.
