Background: I taped Christmas in Boston, which is an ABC Family original, several years ago. I recently dug it out and watched it … and then I found it on Amazon for less than $5, so I went ahead and bought it on DVD.
Plot: Gina and Seth have been pen pals since elementary school. She lives in Boston, he in Denver, and they’ve never met. One Christmas, he has to go to Boston for a business conference, so they decide to meet … only when they exchanged pictures years ago, each sent a picture of their (in their opinion) better-looking best friend. They send their friends to the designated meeting in their stead … and end up meeting at Seth’s conference, though neither knows the other’s true identity.
Reactions: This movie is so cute, though it’s not for the younger set. Seth and Gina’s relationship is sweet and innocent, but the same cannot be said for their best friends’ relationship. The movie has a definite You’ve Got Mail vibe to it … I love those mistaken identity stories! It’s a movie I’ll definitely be pulling out each Christmas!
Verdict: Keep
