Very enjoyable is Recipe for a Perfect Christmas. This is definitely one I'd watch again, although I really hate watching movies twice. It's a cute romantic comedy that happens to take place around Christmastime. It stars Christine Baranski (as Lee), Carly Pope (as JJ) and Bobby Cannavale (as Alex). JJ has just become a top NYC food critic and Alex is desperate to get his restaurant reviewed by her. Meanwhile, JJ's mom Lee shows up out of nowhere and moves in with JJ, much to JJ's chagrin. To get both her problems off her back, JJ sets Alex up with her mother, agreeing to check out his restaurant if he keeps her mother out of her hair. Needless to say, JJ starts to fall for Alex and is not so happy that Alex & her mother are seeing so much of each other, especially since JJ has not been able to get close to her mother in years, not since her father died. Anyway, I don't have to tell you how this ends; I'm sure you know. Everyone is happy and everything turns out great. It's sweet, though, and the plot turns are believable and to top it all off, these people can actually act. Plus, Bobby Cannavale is such a cutie. I've had a crush on him for a few years.
