Should be titled 'Snobby City Woman of Christmas'


I guess we were supposed to root for this woman, esp since she was always getting the upper hand on the guy.

But I just wanted someone to throw her off one of those cliffs. What a snob.

Glad she came around in the end, but she should've gotten humiliated big time before getting everything she wanted.

The townspeople were very sweet and had a lot more patience with her than I would've had.

Why should she have been humiliated big time? What kind of a person are you?

The townspeople clearly knew how to act like decent human beings.

Thank you for taking the words right out of my mouth.

I was thinking the townspeople showed how friendly & unpretentious small town folk can be & showed compassion toward her judgemental & prima donna attitude.

Well done on the movie to show the comparision & kudos to previous poster for the realization.

Just shows that people on TV are better than you are.

If the filmmakers wanted a little realism, they would have had the 13 guys should have tell her the only way they'd let her help them raise money was for her to do a gang bang movie with them.

That would have made the film more like the real Montana, and taught the little trollop something about country life.

It only showed that the main character EJ is a true blue New Yorker!!!

Let's see now, according to this little coven of misogynists EJ should be pitched off a mountain for telling them what to do.

The town hired this "true blue New Yorker" to come all the way to Montana to help them attract big businesses to their quaint neck of the woods. So, naturally, when she doesn't talk and act just like people in Montana and tells them what to do to attract big business to their town, it's because she is a judgmental prima donna. One should not consider that she is doing exactly what she was hired to do.

I mean that you can criticize the credibility of the plot, or even the accuracy of the portrayal of the fictional town to the one which exists in real life, and since it was filmed in Canada rather than Montana the differences are probably sizable. Within the bounds of the film, however, it's a normal fish-out-of-water story, with a bit of city mouse-country mouse thrown in.

Relax boys, no one is threatening your manhood, yet.

The one thing I dislike about this movie is how he tells her that she was such a bitch--I didn't see her as a bitch so much as doing her job and not knowing that if you have to stand in line at the Post Office for 20 minutes because someone is chatting about personal things to the P.O. worker and you are in a huge hurry, well, you have to just stand there or it is rude. Besides, the character, Will, has several truly childish moments that she is having to respond to. In the bar when he goes "Red rover...", when he won't put a towel on, when it acts like she is meeting up with Eric like its a date, when he sabotages Eric and Jan, when he tells her how sick it makes him that he is attracted to her...So who's really a "bitch?"
