The Flight Before Christmas | Blogmas Day 7

It's Blogmas day 7!

This is a bit of an older film than the rest of Blogmas will probably be, but I've been meaning to watch it for a while, mainly because I was really interested in seeing Mayim Bialik outside of her Big Bang Theory role.

When a snowstorm delays their flight, two strangers (Mayim Bialik and Ryan McPartlin) share a room in a bed-and-breakfast on Christmas Eve.

This was cute. It's nothing special or particularly unique, but it was an enjoyable watch.

From the beginning, I was genuinely interested in the story, particularly Stephanie (Bialik), who was the more interesting character of the two. 

The characters are likeable both on their own and together. The only problem I had with them was that their relationship started off within the enemies-to-lovers trope, and I really wish the 'enemies' side had been played into more. It was nice seeing them warm to each other, but it happened a bit too quickly for my liking.

Speaking of warming to each other, it was interesting to be able to warm to the characters from the audience's perspective, as they warmed to each other.

The actors/characters don't have the best romantic chemistry, but you can see them grow to like each other. They probably would have ended up as friends in the real world (and it would have been nice to see that happen in the movie rather than a romance), but we can let that slide because it's a Hallmark movie.

Overall, I enjoyed the characters more than the story, but it's one of the better ones I've watched for Blogmas 2022 so far.
