This Time Next Year

This film is trope after trope after trope after trope.

Whilst this is very much a paint by numbers romcom, it's actually very enjoyable. All of the characters are rather two dimensional, nothing happens in the film at all that is a surprise, but I found myself invested in the story and really rather enjoyed it.

This really isn't the kind of film that is likely to go on and win any awards, but for an evening curled up on the sofa with a glass of wine it's really quite cute. It addresses love, mental health, self doubt and I don't think it can be classified as a spoiler if I tell you it has a happy ending.

Okay this is your typical English Rom Com, with a few tears along the way. The supporting characters are pretty annoying, the two leads carry the film well.

There are some big names in the cast, Keala Settle, John Hannah even Anita Dobson pops.up.

London as ever looks great on camera, The film is under 2 hours and it went pretty quickly. Well worth a watch, if you like a feel good film.

Yes British films are cliche-ridden, some people will cringe at dome of the scenes.

This is on Netflix so nothing extra to watch abd saves going to the cinema in the cold dark night.

Like I said well worth a watch.

Director Nick Moore brings us the adaptation of the novel by Sophie Cousens who also wrote the script for the film in which we are left with one of those pleasant and sweet romantic comedies that meet expectations.

The main characters are the beautiful Sophie Cookson and the handsome Lucien Laviscount, who share their chemistry so that we can enjoy their beautiful love story on screen, which the main couple makes fit perfectly with their complicity and dedication. We also have a good supporting cast that offers outstanding moments, in which John Hannah, Monica Dolan and Golda Rosheuvel stand out.

A well-crafted story that, as it progresses, meets all the requirements to enjoy those British romantic comedies that we like so much; it doesn't strive to give what it doesn't seek to give and pleases the viewer with the right doses of having a simple, fun and well-made film without aspiring to be among the best in history.

It offers drama when necessary, it offers sympathy when it is worth it and it offers romance when we need it, a well-constructed film that allows itself to have references to great classics and also knows how to mix themes that touch the precise keys to enjoy a correct proposal of living love.

Charming characters, a believable and enjoyable romantic story with that touch of British humour that pleases everyone. A weekend film to enjoy with the family and above all for lovers of a genre that is always, always enjoyable to watch.

Simple and cute romcom, perfect for a cozy night in and it is an original story compared to others. Lighthearted, feel good and funny! I don't agree with the reviews saying it is shallow and overplayed...It is cheesy yes as all rom coms should be! Plot is original, actors are good and the characters are not badly portrayed. I am not very familiar with British romantic comedies but it seemed different from what we are used to and not a typical Netflix romcom in my view. It is apparently adapted from a book which I have not read therefore cannot comment on the adaptation/ screenplay itself. Would recommend.

Strange experience - the main girl is playing Keira Knightley (why?). This film has really good cast so the quality of writing, directing and filming is a little disappointing. Although it is much better than any of the American Christmas Netflix productions it is also far too long. The mothers of the main characters however are a triumph! It's worth watching just to enjoy their performance. The ending is better than expected though, so if you have nothing better to do you may as well enjoy this romantic comedy/ Christmas movie but I doubt it will join the classics - nowhere near the quality of the Holiday or the Last Christmas.
