Hello Readers,
I absolutely adored this Christmas movie, although I will
admit I didn’t know before watching that it was based on books by Richard
Curtis, who also co-wrote the film. There are some enjoyable moments,
especially the self-referential nod to Love Actually, which added a delightful
layer.

From what I’ve read, the movie is adapted from three
books in the series, presenting the story from four main characters’
perspectives. This approach effectively highlights how each character faces
challenges, and I thought it was well executed. This film has a warm, cozy
feeling that I’ve come to expect from a good Christmas film. There are some genuinely
great moments, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t leave an impact on me.
This Christmas films shows a variety of problems people
may experience during Christmas, such as loneliness. For a children Christmas
film this film tackles some difficult themes, including divorce, loss of loved
ones, the struggles people may face behind closed doors, young love, and
understanding the impact of our own issues on others. It highlights the
importance of empathy and understanding.
This film is packed with references to current affairs
and up-to-date pop culture, which I think will make it age beautifully. I hope that
when I rewatch this film in the future that the nostalgia will hit as I think these
references bring back fond memories.
It really is a beautiful Christmas film, and I really
recommend you watch it.
