Emma Roberts plays a popular new type: a woman who can’t commit. She meets cute with Luke Bracey and they decide to be each other’s dates for all the upcoming holidays…no strings attached. The inevitable happens, but not before they spend every major celebration trying to dismiss their mutual attraction. This film is so predictable that it needs clever dialogue or entertaining characters to make it rise above. In this case, there’s a TOUCH of both, esp. Kristin Chenoweth in her fun role. The leads are both adequate but never special. Anyone who’s mildly cynical will find the film full of relatively tiresome tropes, but there’s hope for the shamelessly romantic.
