Sydney Price (Minka Kelly) is a determined emerging executive who finally gets her chance to lead a major acquisition for Chateau Cassell, a beloved champagne house nestled in the heart of the Champagne region. When she hears she has been summoned to France around Christmas as part of the negotiations, she arrives in the city of lights with a hopeful heart and ready to close the deal. Taking one night off to soak in the magic of Paris over the holidays, Sydney has an unexpectedly charming run-in with Henri Cassell (Tom Wozniczka), a stranger who turns one simple evening into something special. But her plans for a whirlwind romance are quickly upended when she discovers that this charming Parisian is the founder's son of the very company she is hoping to acquire. Yet, even amidst the gentle competition set by Hugo Cassell (Thibault de Montalemert) for all the potential buyers at the family vineyard, Sydney and Henri find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other, realizing that their burgeoning feelings might be hard to keep bottled up.

It may be that movie jokes have more traction in a movie so aware of being a movie, and the humor probably works as well as it does because it comes out of the bleu and is so incongruous to the general mood of the piece.

The romantic part of Johnson’s rom-com barely reaches a low simmer, but the comedy part burns a little brighter.

For all its waxing poetic on the specific luxury of champagne, no one is pretending this is anything other than a mass market item; the things to hate are also the things to like. One might call a critic’s feelings about it a champagne problem.

Netflix’s thing is sending girls to Europe to fall in love, and they’ve done it so frequently, they are starting to blur together, and they aren’t even trying to showcase different destinations. Who will fall in love in Paris next week?

Mark Steven Johnson tempers sentiment with wit, while coaxing relaxed performances and making the most of some splendid locations.

Far better than Hallmark or Lifetime, but holds no candle to the romcoms of the 80s and 90s. Minka Kelly is a very likeable actress who is it good to see working again.

Like The Holiday this is not really a Christmas movie but it takes place around the holidays. It's funny, romantic, and the leads actually have chemistry! Extra points for Robert and Otto!
