Rating: A-
Christmas in Boston is really only a Christmas movie incidentally, which is what accounts for its A- rather than a straight A. It happens to take place around Christmastime and the main character (played by Marla Sokoloff, who is currently starring in ABC's wedding sitcom Big Day) happens to love Christmas so there is some wooing-by-Christmas strategy employed by her suitor. Otherwise, it's just a cute romantic comedy about two 13-year pen pals who both kind of adore each other but are too chicken to admit it and too wary about possible disappointment to reveal their true feelings, or even their true identities, when they suddenly find themselves in the same city and meeting for the first time. Lots of misunderstandings occur and despite having kind of a high UGH! factor (meaning there's a lot of "UGH! Just tell her!" moments), it's sweet and the main male character, Patrick J. Adams, is pretty cute. Enjoyable!
