Lifetime has finally joined the Christmas movie fray with Christmas Plus One. And, of course, it’s another Corey Sevier movie. I just can’t get rid of him, can I?

Sisters Cara (Emily Alatalo) and Amy (Vanessa Smythe) make a Christmas wish every year. This year they both wished to meet their soulmates. One year later, Cara is on her way back to New York City to get ready for Cara’s Christmas wedding. She catches a ride with Chase (Andrew Bushell), who she clicks with immediately. However, the two can’t seem to reconnect when they reach the city. As she searches for Chase, Cara helps writer Michael (Corey Sevier) with his Christmas article.

Usually, I get annoyed at the major plotline of these movies. Instead, it’s the wedding B plot that annoys me. Amy has met her soulmate, dated, got engaged, and planned a wedding all within one year. She barely knows the man! Either the movie should have had the engagement happen at Christmas or just meeting the family. I know these movies are unrealistic but it is extremely unrealistic to have a full relationship and wedding within one year. I hate it.

As for the actual plot, it’s fine. It’s the usual conflict of main characters not having an actual conversation and Cara not doing anything besides wandering around New York City to find Chase. When she finally does something (leaving a random picture of her and Michael on a Christmas tree at a sales lot), it is stupid. She doesn’t ever ask anyone if they have seen Chase and she keeps following random men wearing red scarves even though she knows that Chase no longer has his red scarf. I think I might hate this whole movie.
