**The Good:**

The soundtrack has some catchy Christmas songs.

Vanessa Hudgens seems to have fun playing three separate roles at once.

To be fair, since the switcheroo is underway the attempts from both sides to overcome each other is fairly enjoyable.

It's cute and filled with Christmas spirit like the first one, and that's the most important thing, amirite?

**The Bad:**

Vanessa Hudgens is still just as bad; Mark Palladio is even stiffer than before and the chemistry between the two hasn't improved an inch. The same goes for Hudgens' British accent.

Hudgens goes from a double role to a triple role, and while her new role is slightly better than the existing ones, it doesn't make this folk any more searchable.

The triple act actually makes it fairly hard to follow the plot sometimes. That says a lot for a movie of this kind.

The comedy is forced to such an extent that I didn't even recognize some of the quips as genuine attempts at comedy.

What's the point of this film? You tell me because I have no idea. It doesn't improve ok the original in any way, and we didn't need a continuation of the story.

The cousin is hopelessly annoying and forcibly cliched and certainly doesn't make the cast any better. She screams villain from a mile away and there are no original character traits to her.

The dialogue is somehow even less convincing and more cringe-worthy this time around. It's so clunky and unnatural sometimes that it makes no sense.

They have basically taken the same plot from the first film, added in a bunch of new genre cliches and left the heart and soul out and hoped that we wouldn't notice. Well, tough luck.

**The Ugly:**

Now we get unwanted sequels to unwanted Netflix rom-com left and right.
