Admirable film.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a very sweet movie, a movie that's all heart.

This is a classic romcom written from a Word '97 template, with all the inventiveness of a bank teller on Valium. Imagine every romcom ever made, except that the actors are less good than usual. Basically a long series of clichés, cheesy and predictable. An exercise in box ticking of worn-out narrative devices. There are a couple of elderly characters who appear briefly and briefly awake the spectator from their slumber, but it's really too little to love. The setting in Brighton could have at least supplied some nice backdrops, but it's way underused.I can't believe that, at the time of writing this film has a score of 7.2. Seriously people, this is one hour and a half of your life that you used to watch this. Do you really ask so little from your movies?

It has everything a Rom-Com needs: love, cheeky jokes, an awesome best friend, a pushy mother, a supportive grandfather, a nice boss (yes, they still exist), a passionate ex-girlfriend, a charismatic ex-boyfriend, sweet moments, funny ones, great quotes, a lovely story and two absolutely amazing leads. Plus, the Christmasy spirit, which I for one, am a complete fan of.Now, you tell me, what more could you possibly need from a romantic comedy? To end this, I have to admit that I laughed, cried and felt everything the characters went through. It is one of the movies that deserve a chance because it makes you think "hmm, that part happened to me or it might have". "Home for Christmas" is that type of movie that makes you simply feel alive.
