Ella Neezer is a tough boss who also dislikes Christmas. So much so that she even books a flight over Christmas Day to Australia. Her downtrodden assistant is forced to come along and miss Christmas with her son Tim. As irritable as ever, Ella checks in and is surprised to find that her ex-boyfriend, Jake, is booked on the same flight. And not only that — he has the seat next to hers. Ella dozes off, and in her dream she is visited by a ghost showing her things from her past. You can guess the rest…
This film turned out to be better than expected. The Scrooge storyline is rather worn out, and it took a while before this one won me over. But it picks up and has some humour. Maybe it was the fact that it was better than expected that made it land at a five.
