Merry Kissmas

About This Movie

Merry Kissmas (2015) is one of those quirky films where the premise is as whimsical as the title suggests. With a blend of comedy, drama, and romance, it explores the complexities of relationships in a light-hearted way. The pacing is somewhat uneven, but it captures the holiday spirit while digging into Kayla's struggle between a controlling ex and a charming caterer she meets in a stalled elevator. That lift scene serves as a fun device, introducing a magical element with its spontaneous kisses. Performances feel genuine, especially in moments of vulnerability, even if the direction isn’t particularly standout. There’s an odd charm to its simplicity, making it an interesting watch during the festive season, although it does lean into some typical rom-com tropes.
