Lovely to see Luke Goss in a different role, poor Martin. Just what we need to get us in the Christmas spirit. A great cast; I laughed & cried in equal measure. Highly recommend & wait news of a sequel.
What a lovely surprise this was! A story that twists and turns - completely original with tears and humour. I truly felt for Luke Goss. I've watched it twice now. This is one for the family. An alternative Christmas delight
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Luke Goss really amazed me with his performance. I laughed and cried. Really good little British alternative Christmas film.
Brilliant fun! Kym Marsh was the breakout star and Joan Collins is a class act. Would fully recommend to chase the 2020 blues. I saw it with my partner (also a fan) but I could easily see this being for the family. This is one I think we'll come back to every year.
Having seen the trailers thought this was going to be a feel good Christmas movie. It was not! In fact I'm not sure what sort of movie this was besides a badly acted one with a story that jumped around and was confusing. Luke Goss was so wooden, yet we know he can act maybe the Rom com is not the right genre for him. As for all the other characters in the film we didn't really get to know them and how they were relevant to Martin. Such as shame this film had such potential.
Just a really odd film. It feels like you're watching a school drama class. Some scenes feel like they are about to build into a comedy farce but just fade away, other scenes drag on and just as you expect the camera to cut away, it stays and the script muddles along for too long leaving you getting frustrated and bored. The directing is messy as is the script. It constantly feels like you're seeing the first rehearsal and not the finished article. Some elements and characters aren't needed; it's overly complicated and then the ending seems rushed for no reason. Sorry, wanted to give it a chance but it really was poor.
Thoroughly enjoyed from start to end, great cast, great script. Will watch again.
Really enjoyed this film. Was good to see luke goss in a completely different kind of role to his usual characters. Was a very touching story.
