Christmas is about togetherness. It reminds us the warmth of relationships. I have a habit to watch a movie on a Christmas afternoon. But no, a Santa-Obsessed-kid’s movie won’t do. I want a girl-i-e thing to fill my Christmas afternoon. I am a die hard fan of romantic movies. Even a romantic-comedy would do just fine.
I am going to list few of romantic & romantic-comedies that I already love and you might be already fan of. You won’t see any Bollywood movie here because, I have lost my appetite for Bollywood romantic movies long time back. So have a wonderful Christmas afternoon with these lighthearted & touchy movies.
Four Christmases
Some people are trapped for life, like Brad & Kate. The husband wife have two sets of divorced parents. Every year the duo manages to make excuses, fly out of town to avoid attending Christmas dinner with respective parents. But this year, they are trapped at airport since all the flights have been canceled due to bad weather.
They return back to their home, but now there is no escape. The duo must attend four Christmases at four different places. Kate’s mother & father are waiting for them at their own residences, so are Brad’s parents. It involves a lot of family drama & cries. Now you understand why they wanted to escape Christmas at the first place.
The Holiday
Do you wish to swap your life(house) with someone else’s? Well these two heart broken women do. Iris from London is heart broken by her colleague who is set to marry some one else from her office. While Amanda from LA, is cheated by her boyfriend is still sore at heart. Both want to forget their pasts. They somehow lands on house exchange website and the next moment they are flying out of their respective countries.
Iris is awestruck by the lavish lifestyle of Amanda in LA. Amanda is getting used to the English weather, meets Iris’ brother and falls in love with him. Iris too finds a nice guy in LA. And it’s Christmas.
Christmas With The Kranks
I can relate to this movie because it’s plot is similar to what I witnessed in my own life. Plus it’s full of entertainment. I love the comedy sequence this movie offers.
So basically the Kranks are not celebrating Christmas, because their beloved daughter is not visiting them this year. I can understand, what’s Christmas without family. For Parents, any festival is dry if their children are not with them. So the Kranks too put Christmas off.
But guess what Karol, their daughter shows up. Now what? Christmas is On guys. But then every festival has it’s own preparations & charm. Now the Kranks gear up to make it happen. It leads to hilarious situations. This movie is total fun.
Love Actually
This movie is very close to my heart. I just can’t miss it any time it’s on air. Even though it’s set against Christmas time, I think it’s an all time watch.
There are about 8 couples who are falling in love, falling out of love, trapped in bad relationships, confused, lonely and what not. The plot is interwoven taking these people in account. How these people find their solace in this fast running life. You really get lost in the plot. You laugh & cry with the characters. It’s Love Actually that’s all around you…. !!!
Snow Bride
How far can Greta go for the sake of a story. She is a tabloid reporter.. err… gossip reporter, exposing the rich & the famous. She gets to know that Late Senator’s Son might be proposing marriage on Big Bear ground during Christmas, she could not stop to get the first glimpse of the story. Being the first one to report the news may win her a great prize. But accidentally she is taken as a guest of the family which leads to more in-bound incidents. Now she gets to know how down to earth the family is. What will Greta do now?
So Girls, I leave you all to your imagination now. You may just go and get your favorite movie on. Don’t forget to comment which movie you are going to watch.
