6/10
Saved by the ending
24 January 2020
Some parts of this movie are pretty awful and some parts are quite good. The good thing is because of the surprising twist ending it doesn't feel like a typical Hallmark style Christmas romance. It was actually quite moving. Emma Thompson acts quite well as the Yugoslavian immigrant.

Some of the dialogue is too fast and many of the jokes fall flat. The way Michelle Yeoh's character acts is painful at times. Luckily Emilia Clarke is winsome enough to smooth over the rough edges. And she and Henry Golding have a good rapport. There is an anti Brexit message. And a very diverse cast racially and by sexual orientation. The George Michael song sounds quite good too.
