This movie seems to polarize the punters and I fall into the category of loathing it so much I had to walk out!
Now I am a sentimental fool for London location shots, Christmas, George Michael and Emma Thompson but even this combination was overshadowed by weak story lines, poor acting..although the female lead very endearing. Emma's portrayal as the mother seemed farcical. I can enjoy schmaltz such as the Paddington movie but this for me painfully boring.
