You know, when a movie has a love triangle, both of the suitors should be viable options. Sappy Holiday doesn’t do that. Let me tell you about it.
Joy (Vanessa Sears) is a sous chef in New York. She is working hard to get a promotion to executive chef. Her boyfriend, Gabe (Colton Royce), invites her to his family’s mansion for Christmas in order to propose to her. Driving to the mansion in a snowstorm, Joy spins out her car and crashes into a snowbank. She is saved by James (Jon McLaren), who takes her to his family’s maple farm while she waits for her car to be fixed. However, Joy finds her true happiness at the maple farm.
So, the love triangle is Joy, who is nicknamed JJ by James, James and Gabe. Gabe is an utter tool. Every time Joy talks to him, he is a dreadful person. He puts his mother’s wants over his girlfriend’s needs. Even if Joy didn’t find James, she should have dumped Gabe anyway.
No, I don’t think you should watch Sappy Holiday. It’s slow, it’s boring, and none of the men are particularly good. Joy should quit her job and both men and figure out something better to do. She deserves much better than any of them.
