Coupled Up for Christmas (2023 TV Movie)
9/10
An Interesting Take On An Over-Used Trope
4 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers: This movie contained the "fake dating" trope, but it was different than most. I really enjoyed it. The leads (characters: Tiffany and Peter) had great chemistry and worked well together--so many funny moments that had me laughing. There were also a few awkward and cringe moments, but they actually added to the humor. I can say that this Hallmark movie was better than many I've seen.

The main reason I liked this fake dating movie is because there was not a big public "reveal" of the fake relationship. Most movies like this do, and it can feel very embarrassing. I liked how things went down here. The lead, Tiffany, privately reveals the scheme to her male best friend, Brett, and he hears her out without blowing up. Although there are a few miscommunications, Tiffany and Peter sort out their issues more reasonably than characters of other movies.

There was a part that I thought was completely unnecessary and awkward near the end. Brett's girlfriend, Matilda, confronts Tiffany at the worst possible time-right when Tiffany is having a moment with Peter. I thought this was so random and weird, but I still laughed about it anyway.

Hilarious and charming movie...I would recommend!
