Such a beautiful movie, good movie for a cat lover and animal lover, best family movie
I loved the first one and I loved this one just as much. Such a beautiful story, really uplifting and very emotional. Highly recommended
"This movie is still inspiring, still beautiful, and still entertaining, i really like the first one and this one have a same energy like the first one, it's very nice tribute to Bob himself who sadly died this year, Luke Treadaway still have the character, and in the end this movie still makes me goosebump in the end same like the first one, this is a very good christmas movie, and very inspiring movie, i recommended"
Such a cute film, got very invested. If you want something easy to watch I recommend !
Found this one overly preachy and formulaic.
It's good to see Luke Treadaway return as James, as well as Bob the Cat; before his sad passing. However, everything else felt too forced in 'A Christmas Gift from Bob'. The plot is boring and predictable, with most of the dialogue feeling like it's telling us about issues rather than showing us; which is the opposite of the 2016 film.
Away from Treadaway, who is solid, there aren't any exceptional support casts - though I did like Phaldut Sharma's Moody. It misses Ruta Gedmintas and Joanne Froggatt, though I can understand that they might not have fitted with the story that they went for here; especially Froggatt.
It does have some sweet scenes still, as well as the expected cat cuteness. Unfortunately, it just didn't work due to the earlier mentioned problems - at least in my opinion. It's nothing terrible, granted.
