A Christmas Number One

I don't understand the negative reviews about this. I think it's a lovely movie & well worth a watch. Sure it's corny at times but hey it's a Christmas movie, I came away from watching this feeling happy.

Not your normal Christmas movie, full of cocoa, gingerbread, carols and "traditions". Life doesn't stop for the holidays, this movie shows it the way it is, a mixture of joy and a little sadness.

I liked the script and the cast, it has some really funny scenes. Give it a chance.

In a world where there is more rubbish Christmas movies than there are classics. This movie follows that typical rubbish Christmas film style with it's lighting, editing and more... but to me that's what makes it good? Yes good. The story is strong and it really leaves you wondering what this Christmas song is! As well as the overall ending of the many stories told in this film.

Overall, this follows the typical channel Christmas 24 style, but instead doesn't have the cliche story and in some parts even some impactful acting. As an audience we expect to much from Christmas movies these days, they can't all be the next 'Home Alone'. However they can still show that Christmas style and bring the warming feeling as all the other classic rubbish Christmas films.

The first 20-30 are awful, but it really does improve. Yes its corny, yes its predictable but stick with it, by the end of really is a feel good film and will warm your heart.

It has a charm after you get over some of the actors rather pantomime performances (probably directed that way). Some members have said it takes around 1 hour to settle in. I agree; it also needs 10 minutes or so cutting out. But I rather enjoyed it, the song is lovely.
