Your Christmas or Mine 2 | Blogmas Day 23

It's Blogmas day 23!

I loved 'Your Christmas or Mine?' so much last year! So when I heard that a second movie was coming out, I immediately had to add it to the list for Blogmas.

When Hayley (Cora Kirk) and James' (Asa Butterfield) families decide to spend Christmas together, a mix-up at the airport is just the start of events that test the couple's relationship.

This was okay, but definitely not as good as the first one. I was actually a bit disappointed by the end.

But having said that, the chemistry between the main actors is still there, and it's still great! They're a really believable couple and I love watching them.

The best thing about the first film was how loveable and fun the supporting characters were, and this is still the case. They're just as fun this time around!

We got to see the main characters spend more time together in this one, which I liked in comparison to the first.

But the first film had a much more enjoyable story, and a really original premise. This one tried to keep some of that magic, but the mix-up part of the story was over really quickly and the film turned into something different, and not as enjoyable.

It was also very predictable. And this is outside of the romance angle. It almost felt like watching a movie after you've already read the script - it's interesting to see, but you know exactly where it's going.

The ending was really sweet, especially the scenes over the credits.

Overall, I think I would have enjoyed this more if I hadn't seen the first film. I loved that one so much that this just paled in comparison.


Title - 3/10

Originality - 6/10

Christmas Spirit - 5/10

Christmas Music - 9/10 (for the credit scenes)


It's 2 days until Christmas!

Come back tomorrow for the last day of Blogmas, day 24!
