Your Christmas or Mine 2

Despite the mixed reviews for the first 'Your Place or Mine' film, I actually quite enjoyed it. A little corny, and a little cliché at times, but that's what Christmas films are for. I also managed to find the first one funny and emotional at times.

This sequel, however, has ruined any fondness of the first film that I previously had.

The likeable female lead character, Hayley, from the first film becomes insufferable in this film, boiled down to a naïve character who does nothing but complain throughout the film, jumping to conclusions and offering not much else.

Asa Butterfield's character doesn't offer much else, although a weak script and lack of real storyline may be at fault here.

Character arcs from the first film, like the one with James' father, are also completely negated in this film.

The family of Hayley also come across as exceptionally ungrateful in this film, and frankly rude. A likeable family and the "hero's" of the first film become the villains of this film, with Daniel May's character leading the charge as possibly one of the most unlikeable character's I've had on my screen this year.

Not a sequel we needed, I'd urge anyone who watched and enjoyed the first film to not bother watching this one.

This is a paint-by-numbers sitcom mega-episode, but it's an entertaining sequel nonetheless. The story is based on a muddle of fortunes between stereotypical class groups that often feels awkward, yet is sometimes unabashedly honest. It has many cringeworthy moments, and there are some genuine laughs too. Some characters are massively underwritten, but it really doesn't matter. Take it for what it is, which is light entertainment at its most enthusiastic, and much better than most of the crap the American studios are passing off as comedy these days. If only the Krampus guy (from The Counterfeiters) had more screen time!

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.

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 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.
