Young, uptight English writer Henrys novel is a resolute failure.He is delighted to find out his book is a surprise hit in Mexico but when he is invited there to promote it, he soon discovers why: his Spanish translator Maria has rewritten his dull book as an erotic novel. Henry is furious, and even more so when his publisher insists he and Maria conduct a book tour across Mexico together. Opposites attract and the chemistry between the couple ensures sparks fly.
My review · Reviewed 02/04/2022
If you threw in a fat man and a christmas tree this movie would fit right in with the 30 Hallmark Holiday movies that are made every year (and that's not a compliment). The leads are likeable enough but there just didn't seem to be enough chemistry to justify the tension between them. I had hoped for more than what the movie is.
