.. is more? Sometimes that is true ... this was part of a double feature I did the other day. The other "Christmas" movie was better than this (in my humble opinion as they say), but this was ok I reckon too. Do you like light comedies and movies in general? Maybe you can then give this a try then. As others already said or written: this will not make many (if any) top 10 lists ... not of all time for sure, but probably not even for the year or the season.

I think I am through with Christmas movies for a while now ... on the other hand, you can watch this all year around too, if you feel like it, so listen to your heart (no pun intended) and watch what makes you happy ... no matter the delivery (and I'll stop here ... punning)

It's a Christmas movie in a sense it takes place around Christmas and involves Christmas gifts. It's not christmasy movie in that it isn't about the holiday, spending time with your family, finding the true meaning of it and whatever other cliche such movies serve.

It's basically a series of vignettes, short stories brought about by series of wrong deliveries. Gifts bring wrong interpretations which result in comedy.

Some plots require suspension of disbelief and applying "comedy logic" and a times rely too much on various cliches and stereotypes. But overall it's an enjoyable light comedy.

Sadly the effect is soured by sappy and predictable ending. If movie went for non traditional theme having non traditional ending would be a cherry on top. But still enjoyable movie.

This movie only has a few ratings on IMDB and seems to be getting panned. I don't really understand why: It' not pretentious or trying to be anything super special...just a story set in Poland at Christmas.

I thought it was an good (not extraordinary) movie. So many others seem to have the same plot line and this was quite different. It was easy to watch: a little amusing, a little romantic, a little dark, a little convoluted. And it's Polish! We don't often get to see much of Poland so I found that quite interesting!

So yea...I'm giving it a higher rating than it probably "critically" deserves, but now others might give it a try!

The movie delivers what it promises: entertainment. At certain moments it goes well beyond that, bringing up interesting reflections on our relationships with people. The plot is intelligent and the conflicts are well developed. The problem is that it pushes too hard in some very unlikely situations, playing with nonsense in an uncomfortable way (like the gas station scene, for example). Even with suspension of disbelief it's hard to buy what's going on. It's a good movie, I liked it. Great performances in the main role, by Monika Frajczyk, and also some supporting roles. The male protagonist, on the other hand, was a bit too exaggerated and burlesque, in my opinion. It's probably not one of those movies that will make your top 10 ever list, but it's a good option for a Saturday night.

This is really a movie made up of small stories tied together by a delivery truck and deliverywoman. Each one is touched off because of (intentionally and drunkenly) mislabeled packages.

With that small premise, a number of well-acted, funny (not over the top), and sentimental stories are told. People, places, themes, and emotions that will be familiar to all viewers, but seem a bit exotic due to the Polish setting of the film. It's really a joy to watch - like seeing someone you know someplace completely different. Also, unlike many movies or shows today, it's not possible to predict the outcome of any of the stories and, not sure about you dear viewer, but we enjoy that!

Not sure if it's one to re-watch but it's certainly worth one view during the Christmas season. You are sure to find some outright laughs and some moments of sentiment and connection to the characters. Great work Polish cinema! Both this and Dawid and the Elves were excellent additions to our Christmas viewing.
