Viewing Notes

Takes place right after the previous film, which is a Christmas movie, and everything here transpires on New Years Eve so I’m counting it for Advent. This is a holiday movie!

The story isn’t as strong but plenty of great character moments make up for it. Plus babyface Jimmy Stewart who I had forgotten was in this one. Very fun revisit. Can definitely see the age difference between Nick and Nora now. Asta gets his own subplot involving another dog!
