A Christmas Number One

In a world where there is more rubbish Christmas movies than there are classics. This movie follows that typical rubbish Christmas film style with it's lighting, editing and more... but to me that's what makes it good? Yes good. The story is strong and it really leaves you wondering what this Christmas song is! As well as the overall ending of the many stories told in this film.

Overall, this follows the typical channel Christmas 24 style, but instead doesn't have the cliche story and in some parts even some impactful acting. As an audience we expect to much from Christmas movies these days, they can't all be the next 'Home Alone'. However they can still show that Christmas style and bring the warming feeling as all the other classic rubbish Christmas films.

I thought the Christmas song was actually pretty good. Found the song on Spotify/SoundHound. We need better Christmas songs.

This is at least watchable compared to all the whitewashed formulated Hallmark and Lifetime movies with the designated token black or half Asian person. Oh wait, this follows the exact formula.

The first 20-30 are awful, but it really does improve. Yes its corny, yes its predictable but stick with it, by the end of really is a feel good film and will warm your heart.

Unfortunately, what is meant to be a "feel-good" movie, misses the mark by a long way!

Despite having some good actors in it, they never actually seem to be comfortable in their roles.

Don't get me wrong, there are some funny moments, but they're few and far between.

A far better film is Last Christmas!

This could have been so much better...

Yeah it's a slow starter but overall I liked it, the final version of the song where the uncle sang it (no spoilers here he only sang it the once) was lovely and if I could I'd buy the song.... It's lovely. It's the usual chick flick Christmas movie, won't win any awards but it passed the time and wasn't completely dire.
