Verdict on Holiday Boyfriend
Holiday Boyfriend is a romantic seasonal comedy following two friends who pretend to be a couple for Thanksgiving. However, things start spiralling out of control, as their real feelings start coming to light.
This is a fun romantic comedy which follows the traditional meet-the-family concept. Even if we get a slight twist on the relationship between the couple. While some of the story falls into the shallow nature of characters. Mandy is written extremely negatively with how she acts to men in life. It is a movie that goes in the direction you expect it to without bringing anything fresh to the table.
