The tropes are in lock-step with the caricature.

Holiday wine country romance has love, loss, language.

Rated: 3/5

The acting and production value is actually far better than a Hallmark Christmas movie, which perhaps will take away the fun for some viewers; but, for me, made it infinitely more watchable.

There is absolutely nothing here that you haven't seen before, but if what you're looking for is a laidback romance that hits all the comforting notes you expect it to, then A California Christmas will definitely scratch that itch.

Rated: 2.5/5

It was ok overall as I didn't find the story very believable or the characters likable, but the ending with the vineyard was good

I was in desperate need of a Christmas movie. Well, this wasn't it... Camouflages as a grown up movie, but the characters are basic with no personality development, the plot is simple and predictable, not romantic or funny. My expectations were low to begin with, but this movie managed to still underperform.
