We’re also not watching it for stellar acting chops (none of these people will be going home with Academy awards). While the feminists in the room might protest to the explicit mention of the ‘friend-zone’, we all know we aren’t watching this film because it’s feminist. The love triangle places Josh in the “friend-zone” where he mopes around while Abby begins seeing Ty. She becomes entangled between Josh and another suitor, Ty (Ethan Peck), who is almost *almost* too good to be true: he’s a single dad, doctor and communicative about how he feels about her, asking her out almost immediately after meeting her. Kat Graham and Ethan Peck as Abby and Ty. Instead, she tells her sister “we’re just friends” when her sister diligently points out that Josh is hot as fuck. When her best friend, Josh (the very sexy Quincy Brown), returns from his 18-month-long stint travelling the world, it’s the first thing that they address, with Josh asking her the kind of cringe question “does it feed your soul?” Josh is also very clearly in love with Abby but Abby is an idiot so does not see this. She lives in a vast, hip studio apartment that attests to the fact that she either makes bank at the commercial photo studio or her parents really help her out.īut I digress the main takeaway from the set-up is that Abby is not entirely happy. The main tension between her and her parents (though I use the term ‘tension’ loosely because there’s very little actual tension) is that they really want her to give up the “starving artist” life to work for her father’s law firm like her sister does and she obviously doesn’t want to do that. She lives in a small town that’s gives off very Stars Hollow vibes and is very close to her family, who also live in the unnamed small town, and especially her recently widowed Grandfather (played by Ron Cephas Jones). She is, of course, unfulfilled by this job and dreams of being a ‘real’ photographer. The Holiday Calendar stars Kat Graham (of Vampire Diaries fame) as Abby, a photographer who works for a commercial portrait studio that specialises. Kat Graham in 'The Holiday Calendar' Photo: Netflix The first of the three dropped over the weekend and oh, boy, does it deliver on all the aforementioned Christmas film prerequisites. Now, for those of you who loved A Christmas Prince, you’re in luck because not only is there a sequel coming later this year in A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, but Netflix is also releasing two other very similar Christmas films. The success of the film confirms the idea that people don’t really care about quality when it comes to Christmas films - it just needs to have snow, a lot of Christmas decorations, family and if it’s really good - a romance plot-line at its core. Despite the film being quite awful, it was even more popular. Last year they released A Christmas Prince, which was about a journalist, Amber, who travels to the fictional European-esque city of Aldovia and conveniently falls in love with the Prince. And around this time of year, that means Christmas films. It’s a known truth that Netflix understands our needs almost exactly.
