A Christmas Number One

If you can get through the first hour then this actually turns out to be quite a sweet movie and "the song" is really great.

However I get all the negative reviews - the acting is awful. Everyone is so over the top and Frieda's fake British accent is awful. Like properly awful. And the music manager...I couldn't bear him and cringed every time he was on screen.

Try if you can to stick with it and you may, like me, kind of enjoy it.

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.

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...

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.

Not your normal Christmas movie, full of cocoa, gingerbread, carols and "traditions". Life doesn't stop for the holidays, this movie shows it the way it is, a mixture of joy and a little sadness.

I liked the script and the cast, it has some really funny scenes. Give it a chance.
