Thoughts on Christmas Crush
Thoughts – Christmas Crush is Christmas movie based on two different generations meeting in a new encounter, where they will all learn a valuable lesson about doing the right thing, standing up against the authority figures in their lives. This will start out with the typical type of meet cute between the school age characters, along with the parental figures looking back on their own lives with heartache. This will get turned on its head with an accident that will put even more on the line for the people involved. The story doesn’t go harder enough into the asshole boyfriend figure, which has a teasing, but in the end, they show he wants what is best. This will try to tug on the heartstrings when it comes to the peril involved about what might be happening, but in the end will dive into the idea that you will do the right thing for the person you love. This is everything you would expect from the Christmas movies we see on a yearly base, using it more as the backdrop for a serious emotional rollercoaster for the characters.
