This was such a beautiful movie I loved it soo much. It was soo nice to see Black British culture represented. Lisa & Georgia definitely deserved better. Honestly would of loved if Lisa left Melvin and was just living independently but I was happy that they got engaged in the end.

A refreshing and entertaining take on the classic “messy Christmas with the family” story. Could have done without the awkward sexist jokes but other than that I enjoyed this way more than I expected to.
“everything will be okay in the end if it isn't okay it isn't the end”
