A nice and breezy Christmas romcom
5 December 2022
Your Christmas or Mine? Is a sweet romcom that will get you in the Christmas mood for sure.

It largely follows the tried and tested romcom formula, with the added twist that the two romantic leads are not actually on screen together for the majority of the film. Despite this I found myself quite invested in the relationship, and thought it was actually quite well thought out from a plot perspective.

Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk put in two engaging and enjoyable lead performances, with some great comedic work from them both.

In terms of the plot, it is one of those romcoms where a lot of the conflict could be easily resolved if people actually spoke to each other, so it does feel a tad frustrating and tiresome at times. Other than that the plot is really rather enjoyable. It is nice and breezy for the most part, but with a few emotional moments that feel a little underdeveloped but still add a nice layer to the piece.

The pacing is pretty spot on, and it never felt like it is overstaying its welcome.

Overall a lovely Christmassy romcom. Unlikely to blow you away, but it does the job and will definitely keep you entertained.
