Name: Divorce Is My Best Christmas Gift
Genre: Drama
Released: 2025-12-16
Rating: 7.3
Cast: Kiley Pearson, TJ Wilk, Sònia Victoria Werner

This movie lost me with the opening scene. What kind of woman waits two hours for her husband to show up for the wedding? Then, when he arrives, he is accompanied by his first love, wearing a white dress, demanding to be a bridesmaid, oohing that her ex kept their rings, and asking if she can put it on his finger. Scenes like this are demeaning to women. I can't imagine anyone standing for this treatment.

The movie progressed through the usual actions. The mistreated woman falls for another man. But this time, he's a college professor, and she's a student. While movies don't need to stick to the truth, this situation was another huge stretch in credibility.

The third unbelievable part was that the "first love" was totally delusional. Hannah, the mistreated wife, played by Kiley Pearson, was totally over her ex-husband. Unfortunately, the jealous other woman wasn't satisfied with the divorce and Hannah's self-imposed distance. She continued to target Hannah.

Yes, movies are fiction, but they should have at least a small amount of believability. This one had none.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
