The Trouble with Mistletoe

About This Movie

The Trouble with Mistletoe is a light-hearted romantic comedy that dances around themes of second chances and the unpredictability of love. Set against the charming backdrop of San Francisco, the film brings Willa Davis, a pet shop owner, face-to-face with her past when she runs into her high school stand-up. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing the chemistry between Willa and her old flame to build naturally, even if it doesn’t always land perfectly. There’s a certain warmth in the performances, even when the dialogue can feel a bit cliché. Practical effects, like the cute pets and the cozy shop, add to the overall charm, which makes it distinctive in the holiday rom-com category.
