Super sweet holiday story that left me scratching my head.
Ok, let me explain..this story would easily have gotten 1* more just for being a totally sweet, opposites attract, syrupy sugar dose of Holiday Spirit, but there is a scene near the end that took it down a bunch. I read a few reviews of this one and no one mentioned it that I could see, so maybe it's just me being picky and difficult, so ... The main gist of the story was cute. JJ is a brand new teacher, he has a 'persona' he portraits at work, complete with the clothes, hair, glasses etc to just fly under the radar and do his job. He had a pretty miserable childhood and no family or Christmas memories to speak of. Adam 'Coach' Sutton is the opposite, he has a very very affectionate family, is popular and outgoing and has set his sights on JJ. It really is pretty instant love/lust on Adam's part and JJ soon follows. I don't mind, it's a short, it's a feel good Christmas story, all things I can go with. I don't mind some of the more 'interesting' terms and phrases, I'm pretty easy going but alas, that one scene, which was probably meant to be romantic and a great show of something was not for me. But, to get back to my WTF moment..[ (show spoiler) So, obviously it isn't something that bothered others, (but I couldn't not mention it) so ignore me. |
