I hated this movie. I wanted to watch a nice comedy movie. I watched the entire movie hoping it would have some redeeming qualities. Maybe in the UK this is considered comedy but, I was totally depressed by the end of the movie.

I was flicking through the streaming services for something to watch and I came across this little gem. I didn't read much about it, the title sort of said enough, I just clicked to watch. I remember the father being from the Ellen sitcom too, so that was another pull. I was surprised to find that it was all in England, I thought it would have been in America. There are some lovely father and daughter scenes, funny and emotional at the same time, and some really nice winter scenes in and around York. I didn't expect it to have me crying as well, but it did. Nice acting, good cast, good script, some beautiful locations. Would highly recommend. A nice warm Christmas film to snuggle up on the sofa with.

Its embracing for Yorkshire. Joely Richardson fake accent was a poor do. The script writer should have checked facts..biscuits not cookies! The men at the party with insulting language was ridiculous. Could have been done with more thought and care and then maybe could have been half decent.

If you have had the pain of loss of a loved one you will appreciate this movie but for those who have not it will be hard to watch. It's a difficult, awkward journey which is mildly saved at the end, just not enough to make up for the pain beforehand. Not to be classified as a Christmas movie for most as it presents as a comedy but it has to many dark moments. I enjoyed watching it but it will not be a movie I will watch again.

The description makes this appear like a romcom but it was all over the place and not a Christmas movie at all. It started with some wit from the characters and then the movie added so many subplots that I think they forgot the direction. The title and description is her finding her dad a date but the actual dating process maybe was 1/4 of the movie. The rest of the movie turned into a drama and the actions of the characters didn't flow from how they were first presented. I had to just fast forward to see if he ever got a date and because I had already watched too much to turn off. If you want to repeatedly say "wait, what?" for an hour and a half then this movie is for you.

Definitely not a romcom, which the title does hint at. It was okay, Jeremy Piven is great, but feels a bit out of place. Oliva-Mai wasn't bad, but I felt her character was very badly written. The actual plot is just too farfetched, it could happen if the girl was a lot younger, but as she's 16, the immersion isn't there, which prevents the really emotional moments from having the same impact. The movie seems confused at what it is, is it a Christmas Romcom as the title and main plot suggests, a coming of age story as the subplot (with a very odd conclusion) suggests, or is it a drama about a family tragedy? Because of this, neither the comedy or the drama quite hit home, and it's too bad, as there's definitely potential.

First of all this movie has very little to do with Christmas. Unlike most Christmas movies, it doesn't gloss over the death of a parent to make the widower a potential romantic story. It does a good job of portraying how difficult it is to grieve. And just when the movie starts, achieving the potential to have some romance it ends abruptly. They could have at least given us ten minutes of romantic potential.

No idea but watching christmas films this year has been a terrible experience. Bratty teen angst rude daughter, this film must be for teens, as otherwise it's excruciating to watch, the brat's acting is painful. Richardson has this terrible accent, no idea where she is supposed to be from, her idea of the North I guess, also appears to wearing some dodgy wig. British films are going downhill, Piven is the only decent actor in it, how he bothered to see it through to the end beggars belief. Its so badly written, I would have walked out.
