I know I shouldn't be watching Christmas stuff in April, but I really needed cheering up... And this worked.

You can kind of work the plot out easily but it's still fun hijinks and really heartwarming.

Surprised how good Smerch and Asim are together, I hope they work together again at some point.

Will defo be adding this to my Christmas watch list this year.

I used to love Christmas. Now I just can't wait for it to be over every year. This film summed up quite accurately why that is, why I hate this entire season. And people. And the world we live in. Every scene was so familiar that even my toes curled into a fist, but at the same time it was really funny.

Caught this on Amazon Prime, I do like Stephen Merchant, his lanky body and accent lend themselves well to being a funny man. I absolutely loved this homage to one of my favourite holiday films, Jingle all the way. Stephen's co star was great casting too, very funny guy with perfect timing and the chemistry between the two was absolute magic. The arcade scene especially was very well put together, I found myself egging them on.

Overall very well written and directed and a pleasure to watch and highly recommended for a christmas film treat. This could easily have been extended a little and made a feature film with a theatrical release.
