What a sweet and lovely breath of fresh air.

Charming. Funny. Well paced. Practically perfect tv.

Adorable characters and perfect voice over.

I came across it by accident and was intrigued by the name.

Family friendly viewing for all ages.

It's on the bbc iplayer in the uk and I would thoroughly recommend.

This is enjoyable enough.

It builds gradually revealing bits of the story. Its unlikely to amaze you with its originality. There are several bits that don't ring true and stick out - but thats artistic license I suppose.

We were trying to work out whether the same story would work if it wasn't set at Christmas and decided yes, it probably would.

Theres action. Theres humour. Theres peril. IIRC it is largely family friendly.

I saw this film as a backup - chose it at the last minute knowing nothing at all about it.

Wow!

An enjoyable trip.

Loved every second.

I am a fan of Emma Stone - she is very watchable in this. Jesse Plemmons is captivating - as ever. Aidan Delbis is very engaging.

This movie seems to grow and develop in front of your eyes, slowly adding to the story and evolving into what it evolves into (no spoilers here!).

I know nothing of the source material - a movie needs to stand on its own merits. For me this one does, and then some.
