If you’ve never seen one before, it’s important to know that Netflix’s Christmas rom-coms are not meant to be judged on a spectrum of “good” to “bad.” They are only to be understood on a spectrum from “surreal approximation of human behavior” to “perverting the physical rules of our known universe.” If “motion smoothing” was a genre instead of a TV setting, that genre would contain only these movies.
