Finally! We have a different premise for a movie! The big town girl isn’t just coming home for Christmas. She’s also coming home to plan the 15-year class reunion! I bet you didn’t expect that with a title like Christmas Class Reunion.
Elle (Aimee Teegarden) was the valedictorian and class president in high school. Fifteen years later, she is home for Christmas and to plan her class reunion. Despite a few catastrophic setbacks, Elle and class vice-president, Devin (Tanner Novlan) manage to put on the best class reunion ever.
I have to admit that it was nice to watch a movie that wasn’t completely about romance. Sure, Elle still kinda had a crush on the guy she liked back in high school and there’s a whole subplot about the troubles that the high school sweethearts are having now that they are in their 30s. But romance wasn’t the point of the movie. It was all about their interpersonal relationships, which was cool.
Is this the best movie ever? No. I’m not even sure it will crack the top 10 this year. However, it wasn’t nearly as boring as some of the other things I’ve watched this year. So, yeah, go ahead and watch Christmas Class Reunion. Maybe it will bring up a little high school nostalgia for you.
