"A Carpenter Christmas Romance"

Maybe it's me.  Finding a decent holiday romance movie this year has been seemingly impossible.  "A Carpenter Christmas Romance" is not it.  Snarky Sasha Pieterse and her visually interesting co-lead with a slightly slushy delivery, Mitchell Slaggert, play characters in deep need of anti-depressants.  The chemistry between them has minor sizzle but no real sparks.  Most of the dialog is delivered with a "just don't have the energy to make this happen" vibe.  The red meat story of a town ravaged by fire and an ex-military guy helping out the homeless didn't appeal.  Halfway through I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed.  Still looking.  Suggestions welcome.
