Your Christmas or Mine?

This is a very enjoyable Christmas movie. Not the stuff of legends but still enjoyable.

The two main actors are good, but the thing that won me over was the rest of the cast. Brilliant and funny! They were responsible for the best laughs and the (almost) tears. Especially the grandparents, the housekeeper and both of the dads!

I used to reeeaaally dislike Alex Jennings and Harriet Walter, due to some of their previous roles as not-so-nice characters (I know, it's just acting but the roles had an effect on me. Kinda like Ron Perlman! I consider him to be pure evil :D). Nonetheless both of them (Jennings & Walter) were amazing in this film and so endearing.

Very good! I thoroughly enjoyed this.

You never really know what to expect from Xmas films, especially those with (no disrespect intended whatsoever) unrecognisable (to me, of course) leads and those that are straight-to-streaming. 'Your Christmas Or Mine?' is, thankfully, a rather swell festive flick.

Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk are a good pairing, though given the plot don't actually spend too much time together onscreen. Butterfield has more to work with, his side of the plot is very much more fleshed out. As such Kirk does well with her scenes.

As noted this is my first time watching Butterfield [actually, technically I've seen a ~13-year-old him in 'Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang' - who knew?] and Kirk, though behind those two there are many a well known face that I spotted. Daniel Mays, Angela Griffin, David Bradley and Alex Jennings, plus one or two others, are actors I've seen elsewhere. The support cast are excellent, here.

It's amusing, very nicely paced and has all the necessary cheesy Christmas vibes - though, to be fair, it's not Hallmark Channel-esque cheese, it's just the usual strong sense of holiday cheer... which is what you'd want from a production of this ilk to be honest, at least I do.

Surprisingly entertaining. The storyline is relateable. We all have family dynamics to deal with around Christmas time.

Great acting from the cast. Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk hold their own as the leads. A great role for Daniel Mays. Alex Jennings seem to by typecasted for the English posh roles, especially after playing the abdicated King in The Crown.

In parts, the film is a little bit cliche and unrealistic. Cheesy (yet likeable) soundtrack. And when was the last time in snowed in England on Christmas Day?

It's not going to win a BAFTA, but it's a nice and easy watch to enjoy with your family, I would highly recommend.

Saw this on my Prime video screen. Great cast so gave it a go on a dark Monday night and it was actually a pleasant surprise! Familiar family dynamics but still enjoyably entertaining despite knowing where it was going. Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk are likeable leads, nice support from Daniel Mays, Alex Jennings and Harriet Walter and the rest of the reliable British cast. This is not a film that will go down as a classic but it is undemanding, pretty cosy although actually the film kept me interested all the way through. The most traumatic thing - someone leaves their phone on a train and let's face it, we would all be totally stumped with that situation. Who even knows phone numbers any more!!!

Solidly enjoyable fluff.

A cast of well known Brit actors including the ever watchable Asa Butterfield, Angela Griffin, Daniel Mays etc do their best to keep this Xmas by numbers film bubbling 'n bumbling along and just about pull it off - but it's by no means a classic. Managing to comfortably straddle the line between inoffensive and formulaic it tells the tale of two romantically engaged students independently ending up at each other's family dwelling for Yuletide - and the obvious 'hilarity' that ensues from this.

And that - along with a number of run of the mill cliches, situations and characters - is about it...
