Ton Noël ou le mien 2

I don't get the bad reviews. It's a Christmas movie...what the heck do people expect??? Its like Hallmark movie but British, with great acting, and with no fake snow. If you don't want a formulaic movie, stay away from almost ever Christmas movie ever made including this one. But, if by chance, you want a good Christmas movie please give it a shot. But make sure you watch the first movie before this one.

The reason I watch Christmas movies is for the warm fuzzies and to "learn" the true meaning of Christmas again. This fits the bill. It also has enough laughs to keep you entertained until the end. Not the best movie ever made, but well worth your time and hopefully a smile at the end.

Merry Christmas.

Absolute boondoggle! Don't get me wrong, if you grabbed me and a bunch of my friends and told me we could have an all expenses paid ski vacation with just a little bit of work plus inviting Jane Kracowski(sp) along for the ride I'd be all over it. I know these things are formulaic but how many misunderstandings can you fit in one roof? Also, out of curiosity, we gwon go to Jamaica? Asa has seemingly avoided the curse of child actor and fits the bill of genuine person who happens to be of station. The actress who plays Haley is also genuine and beautiful. Pretty good but the mishaps are too many.

I really enjoyed the first movie and this sequel is even more fun. A young British couple and their very different families spend Christmas in a ski ressort in the Austrian Alps and chaos ensues. The mountain setting in Tyrol is beautiful and it´s a hilarious feel-good movie that doesn´t take itself too seriously. And neither should you if you decide to watch it, it´s not an Odcar contender, just a good-natured Christmas movie for the whole family. I think it doesn´t deserve the 1-star ratings and I had a blast watching it, that´s why I´m writing this review. I liked that they also cast some Austrian actors instead of Brits or Americans imitating the accent or pretending to speak German, which they do in many other movies. I admit I´m a bit biased as an Austrian and because the movie features one of my favourite local actors from "The Counterfeiters", Karl Markovics. But I think you will also enjoy this culture- and class-clash comedy with some laugh-out-loud scenes. It will leave you with a smile on your face.

Ok where do I start with this dull sequel to a movie which is lacking any decent story telling in the process?

Right the two main love characters have zero chemistry in terms of connection. They both looked bored in terms of the awful dialogue they are given but there is just no spark between them for the whole movie length.

The other side characters are just wasted in terms of development.

It was an lacksture affair with a script from the 1970's comedy genre of that time.

Personally I am at a lost why they made a sequel as the original wasn't much to write home about in truth.

If your at a loose end watch something else on a Xmas movie list as this movie is just a pile of Donkey dung!

Good, solid, warm, family Christmas entertainment. Enjoyed the first one, saw they made a sequel and enjoyed it just as much.

Asa Butterfield, Cora Kirk and Daniel Mays were excellent.

Read some of the one star reviews which is a bit of a shame because it is just a bit of Christmas fun which doesn't take itself too seriously. I see many people calling it formulaic but let's be honest, we all (or many of us) like the standard RomCom formula.

Highly recommend if you fancy a new Christmas film. Ok, it's not Home Alone or the Griswalds but it's pretty decent, great locations and good solid fun. Here's to a third installment.
