You Can't Fight Christmas | Blogmas Day 20

Hey Guys x

It's Blogmas Day 20!

I saw this film on Netflix, like so many others this Blogmas, and thought that it might be a good one to review.

Edmund (Andra Fuller) is a businessman who doesn't like Christmas. But when he meets Leslie (Brely Evans), a decorator who loves the festive season, he begins to open his eyes to a lot of things that he's been fighting.

Okay, so this isn't a great film at all. Which unfortunately isn't that surprising given the quality of Netflix's Christmas movies.

It's connected to the film 'Miss Me This Christmas' that I reviewed maybe last week or the week before. And if you read that review, you'll know that I didn't like that film. And while this one was a bit better, it still wasn't anything special.

It's very Christmassy - it hits you over the head with Christmas. There is practically a Christmas Tree/wreath/fairy lights in the background of every single shot.

I really loved the fact that it was the first Christmas movie that I've seen for this Blogmas (maybe ever?) that had a plus-size woman as the protagonist. And this changed absolutely nothing about the story, so it's a shame that it doesn't happen more often.

The story was somewhat interesting, but you never really feel invested in either the story or the characters.

Overall, this is a cute, predictable, cliche rom-com. It's not awful, but it's not amazing either.

5/10 - Originality
8.5/10 - Christmas Spirit
5/10 - Christmas Music

It's 5 days until Christmas!

Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 21!
