Watchable...for a Christmas Movie
Let's face it, majority of Christmas movies are bad- especially those Hallmark ones my kids like!
They put this on as the final hurrah to Christmas laa night., at the end of 12th Night...and I went into it with zeto.expectations...which is always helpful, I feel!
I had no idea it had such a rich cast, but honestly, they seemed to "clang" against each other- very jarring.
None of them, seemed authentic whatsoever?! Is it because they are too famous, and we know them from elsewhere?
The American girl, who is seemingly one of the most famous (I didn't know her), was truly awful (yes, I know she was meant to be) - but hey, still annoying.
Caroline Quentin was probably the only character who I felt did convince me to any degree whatsoever with her acting...the rest was all over-acted, or impossible to act well due to the clash of characters/ script.
It truly did have a fair few laugh-out-loud moments and funny parts. Mostly because it was deliberately being over-the-top with the comedy, and it went so bad it was good.
I still enjoyed it more than most of those other awful movies though, but I guess, we were setting a very low bar : ) - jamesanderson-22097 - 30 November 2023
Save yourself, don't watch
Dreadful. Is there another word for it? Nope. "I'm lactose intolsrant", "I have a new loo brush". Was the best laugh. Sign it was going to be dreadful with the 'knock over the Christmas Tree and fall over while decorating it to be perfect because I'm an inept mother stereotype' should have been a hint. A Rolls Royce is stolen and ends up as a prize, that the owner tries to win. It really is that stupid. Eating the Christmas holly would be far more enjoyable Can't believe the cast signed up and that it got funding to be made. Utter garbage. On a positive note, the locations were beautiful. Liz Hurley hasn't aged. The Rolls Royce is a beautiful car.
