Clarke is charming, but this film is so awkwardly edited and has characters act in the most baffling of ways that it takes away from shy comedic impact she may have. Also the ending will blow your mind, in the worst of ways.

She works in a Christmas store, auditions for parts and goes from friend to family for a place to sleep. One day she meets an appealing man (Henry Golding) who helps her find herself. What seems like a sweet, but not especially special romantic comedy does manage to turn things around before it's over. Screenwriter Emma Thompson has fashioned a mildly cute comedy, but none of the characters are especially memorable (except her own role as the Hungarian mother). Director Paul Feig has kept it seasonably bright, but doesn't add much comic charm. While not without appeal (and a soundtrack featuring the songs of George Michael), this might warm hearts seeking a holiday trifle. Expand

A cheap comedy, a bit funny, a little trivial. An interesting cast but the plot is bland and expressionless.

A problem that I couldn't get out of my head is that Emilia Clarke shows few skills for change and her character here feels like an extension of Louisa Clark but a lot more cynical and less cheerful.

A problem that I couldn't get out of my head is that Emilia Clarke shows few skills for change and her character here feels like an extension of Louisa Clark but a lot more cynical and less cheerful.

And it's ironic that a film in which the main character is looking to recover the joy in life lacks of spirit.

It helps a lot the chemistry between Clarke and Henry Golding but that's just the most salvageable element here. The rest is too generic and you can infer the narrative twist with astonishing speed.
Even since the trailers you could see it and that was a fatal blow to the film.

It was forgettable, even for the christmas season.

O filme tem muitos problemas de atuação, roteiro e também em aspectos mais técnicos. Porém, possui muito valor de entretenimento. A história apesar de genérica consegue cativar um pouco.

A real Christmas film with an emotional twist. The story was a little too far-fetched but it was unexpected.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed watching Emilia Clarke, but otherwise it's just the movie you expect, with some very cheesy dialogues. I didn't like the role of the supposed friend either, the conclusion was still quite okay. Expand

I don't know how my downloaded Rom-Com ended up being a sad, depressing movie. I really don't remember crying over a movie for the last time.

This was it. I broke down, completely. Then got risen again. Emilia, my girl! I owe you a lot

you a lot for this. Although,

Henry broke my heart. These movies seem more real to me than the people I'm surrounded by. Cannot thank more. Sadness makes me happier, I suppose.
