Much lower review than the other books because for Kelsey to like Shakespeare so much, she finds herself in that type of situation too often. Plus even though she "chose" and by not wanting to hurt people's feelings she is just hurting a lot of people. So, while I like the book it is like "being stuck in a bad soap opera". All it does is make her looks selfish.

So I just watched this film yesterday for the first time, unless I just don't remember watching it before. I love a chick flick but this just wasn't very good. I didn't find either of the characters likeable and he never gave her a properly apology for the night they met, he just shrugged it off, yet when he quotes Shakespeare she's taken by him, it just didn't seem believable to me.

"I tell these as goodnight stories to my children when we are on the train, or going somewhere at night. “The Necklace,” is particularly wonderful. I bought these at Shakespeare & Co., where they always had contemporary writers staying above the shop, and they’d solicit recommendations from them. This was one of them. It’s interesting what sticks with you. I read many classics as a child, but these are the ones that linger."

Funy Family Christmas Film
If you re looking for a funny Christmas film, then this is it. If you go into this with the expectation of a funny, family Christmas film, where you can all laugh together, even if it is at the ridiculousness, you won't be dissapointed. This is not Shakespeare. Don't expect that.
The acting is good, it's Jamie Lee Curtis and TIm Allen, with Dan Akroyd supporting, so of course it is. They all have a great rapport with each other which makes the film not so ridiculous.
The storyline is typical and stupid, but that's what the best Christmas films have. You know, the ones we watch over and over every Christmas (like National Lampons Christmas Vacation).
If you go in with your eyes open, not expecting Romeo and Juliet to declare their love and kill themselves (you do get some neighbourhood feuding so that won't dissapoint those Shakespeare fans), then you will enjoy a pleasent Christmas evening and feel good at the end of it.
