Kat and Sam have been sitting at the same kids' table at the Christmas party every year since they were four. As they reach their late teens, a new kind of tension begins to develop between them, but nothing ever comes of it. We follow them through the Christmas parties in their twenties, but there’s always something that keeps them from getting it right. Finally, after five years of absence, Sam has mustered the courage to try to change things. But will their long history continue to stand in the way?
I don’t really like these films where the characters only meet once a year, and much of what happens in between is left unexplored. Do they never see each other during the year, even though their families seem so close? However, as a romantic story, it still holds up but it does not captivate.
