- Why don't we learn more about Lucy's mom? The voiceover intro efficiently establishes her loss; more parent material would shift focus from her loneliness.
- It is not a Christmas movie: the climactic event needs to be at Christmas, and this one peaks too soon.
- Is this the most crimes ever committed in a rom-com? Nothing in the Nora Ephron or Nancy Myers (as transcribed) canons compares; How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days has bribery and betting, but this still takes the cake.
