Noël à l'anglaise

Anyone who lives in the UK would agree, this is pure unadulterated escapism. Opening Train Station and Steam Train proves it's lack of reality. Nothing like a Yorkshire accent from Andrew! If you like bubblegum movies, you'll enjoy it! ps. No fried bread on the breakfast!?

A very mediocre Christmas movie.

The storyline, dialogue and acting give Christmas movies a bad name and that's not saying much. However, the male lead Mark Killeen is the worst, the character is supposed to be from Yorkshire but his accent is somewhere between London and Sydney. Dick van Dyke did a better accent in Mary Poppins!

This film was so enjoyable, with beautiful settings. It wasn't like most of the Christmas movies that play in abundance, because of the rich characters and the actors convincing performances. I recommend this movie for a relaxing and cozy time.

I loved this movie for personal reasons as it reminded me of my daughter who moved with her family to live in Canada.

Knaresborough was one of my memorable highlights when I visited Yorkshire many years ago.

I enjoyed the scenery, spirit of Christmas & romantic aspects. I didn't allow the accents to spoil it. Seeing a movie without Sci-fi, violence & swearing is a refreshing change.

My only disappointment is that we never heard singing at the end.

Lily James would have been perfect in the lead role as she has musical & acting talent & more music would have been a welcome addition.

Yes, it was twee, but glad we just happened to switch on the Tele and stumbled upon this movie.

It brought a tear or two to my eyes as I saw it through the eyes of a child with happy memories of the festive season shared with family as well as my visit to Knaresborough.

I assume the director cut his teeth on tv adverts

ok so the acting is awful

the cafe patrons are hilariously bad (hands up who wants to be in a christmas film?) a 'town cryer-a gram' is a brilliant idea

'andrew' is clearly from the south of england but the little girl is adorable "sweetheart"

it's a fantasy, we don't have 'steam trains' it's the 21st century or stationmasters although is he supposed to be santa?

But the biggest crime is no mention knaresboroughs most famous resident 'old mother shipton' no petrified well, no premonition's, no witches at all, a missed opportunity me thinks!
