If you have some time just watch this. It's fun, goofy, fast paced and simple. I didn't watch anything with Asa Butterfield before and the constant ad on my google tv finally got the better of me. I'm not a movies person, I rarely watch them, that's why I'm really impressed by how well everything in this flick was executed and filmed. The movie also has some twists that made it even more funny to watch and wait until the end.
I was surprised and pleased to see David Bradley, Daniel Mays and Alex Jannings in the cast, three legends of British television. Overall, it's an uncompromising experience that will bring some joy and escape for a little while.

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.

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.

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.

Your Christmas or Mine? Is a sweet romcom that will get you in the Christmas mood for sure.
It largely follows the tried and tested romcom formula, with the added twist that the two romantic leads are not actually on screen together for the majority of the film. Despite this I found myself quite invested in the relationship, and thought it was actually quite well thought out from a plot perspective.
Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk put in two engaging and enjoyable lead performances, with some great comedic work from them both.
In terms of the plot, it is one of those romcoms where a lot of the conflict could be easily resolved if people actually spoke to each other, so it does feel a tad frustrating and tiresome at times. Other than that the plot is really rather enjoyable. It is nice and breezy for the most part, but with a few emotional moments that feel a little underdeveloped but still add a nice layer to the piece.
The pacing is pretty spot on, and it never felt like it is overstaying its welcome.
Overall a lovely Christmassy romcom. Unlikely to blow you away, but it does the job and will definitely keep you entertained.
