Livvy Beal (Tammin Sursok) is a party planner. A year ago she met Carter Bolton (Brent Bailey) who is an executive who hired her for his firm’s Christmas party last year. They have been dating for a year, and she expects he’s about to propose to her when he instead dumps her just before Christmas. Livvy does a bit of detective work and finds 2 other former girlfriends of Carter and sets out to meet them. When the find that his modus operandi is to date a girl for a year and then dump them for the next one, but furthermore that he finds the new one before he lets the old one, and that he has a new one now, so they determine to get revenge. They put their heads together to try to destroy the party this year, and try to destroy Carter at the same time.
Certainly not an awful Christmas film, this 2016 premier from UP TV is a familiar story. It brings back memories of the movie The First Wives Club, and a certain other revengeful lady Cameron Diaz played as well in The Other Woman. Still, this is a Christmas film and so fits well with the seasonal theme. The problem is that the “new romance” in the story happens so fast, and isn’t really believable, and the entire script is a bit shallow. The whole revenge thing really just scratches the surface. It feels like it was put together to beat a deadline, and a bit more time on the script would have helped perhaps. There is some romance and some humor and lots of Christmas content.
Here is the UP TV web page for this film that includes a trailer.
