My Dad's Christmas Date

"The feeling is that movies set during Christmas time always repeat the same formula, with saccharine romances and impossible loves. 'My Dad's Christmas Date' follows this formula, however director Mick Davis ('Modigliani, a Paixão pela Vida') succeeds in bringing this theme to slightly older characters. Specifically, here we follow the journey of Jules, a girl who isn't getting along with her dad and so decides to find a date for him. All the ingredients of these Christmas romances are here, giving that pleasant feeling that you've seen this sweet story before and are reliving all the good moments. It's a shame, however, that Davis isn't a great director, creating some cheesy moments and others that are artificial."
