How can I describe this.
It's like watching a very long episode of Eastenders And I hate Eastenders.
The main character man has no charisma and it would make it almost impossible that two stunning women would fight over him.
Then goes all the cliche and a predictable ending.

It was great to see black british representation without the struggle or strife. Considering this is Ameen's first feature film, I think he did a good job. It defo has an indie film kind of vibe.
The lead male character wasn't correctly casted imo, he isn't buff enough for two stunners to be fighting over him. And he's not very likeable.
I love the mum and her partner. Their story was cute! Aja is amazing as always. The audio and editing could do with a little more work but a great great effort.
I was confused about the Caribbean and African blending of the families at times - it seems like everyone was just 'black'.. so it was abit annoying to see they disregarded the variety and disparities between the two cultures.
That said, half the bias fools on here are spewing hate and prejudice with their 1/2/3 stars. Was it amazing? Meh but its really not as bad as these "critics" are saying. IT'S A CHEESY HOLIDAY FILM - LIGHTEN UP!!
Happy I could support the beginning of something so forward thinking, I cant wait to see where he goes from here!

Boxing day
It has a nice and upbeat styling with a beautiful sprinkle of culture (black, British and American). The plot is stuffed and convoluted, this may help keep its pacing going steadily, but a deep look can reveal how thin the main plot is, and needing of more conflict. The characterization and cast is what elevates the movie; the perky and good-humoured performance the cast delivers is strong to carry the movie.
If I'm to judge from the original songs Leigh Anne Pinnock delivered, I'm really not excited for her solo era as a musician.

Enjoyed this more than i expected! Funny characters that are relatable to people in every day life. Nice story line, shot well, and worth the watch as a house hold christmas movie from now on.
Kudos to this writer/actor on making a romantic Xmas movie because it's never easy balancing without over doing one. Writer had good intentions but missed the mark; as if someone just did a mediocre editing job! But looking forward to more polished future projects from this writer!
