PROS
- heartwarming, easy going, homey & chipper, filled wt holiday spirits & nice London scenery.
- give me Hallmark/Lifetime movie vibes (I letak ni as pro coz I peminat Hallmark movies yg cheesy tu).
- Emilia Clarke (Kate) & Henry Golding (Tom) carried their characters quite well, Tom ni sedikit goofy & Kate pula cycnical.
- Good chemistry antara Emilia & Henry, they look cute together (way better than gabungan antara Henry & Constance Wu yg mcm kakak & adik aje).
- penuh dgn lagu2 of the late George Michael incl. my fav song "Faith".
- starry cameos (Patti LuPone, Rob Delaney to name a few).
- menyentuh ttg trauma, bagaimana kdg2 ppl terjerumus dlm messy situations during the healing process & to move forward in life.
- is quite entertaining for those yg tak expect more in a RomCom.
CONS
- not enuf romance for a so called RomCom movie, lebih kpd dramedy with romance subplot.
- too cheesy for some people with some melodramatic lines/dialogues.
- the plot twist antara karektor Tom & Kate is predictable (maybe I watched too many dramas & RomCom movies).
- Michelle Yeoh punya karektor (Santa) is awkward, stiff mcm lakonan dia dlm Crazy Rich Asians juga, maybe sbb am not a fan of her.
- need more engaging storyline with more ups & downs, too light-hearted for big screen, lebih sesuai utk small screen.
- Karektor Kate ni supposed to be unlikeable (at least in the beginning) tapi susahnya nak hate Emilia Clarke ni, she makes you happy instead.
- This movie left me wanting more, I want to see more of Emilia & Henry's dynamic, harap2 diaorg akan digandingkan lagi dlm other movie with deep, meaningful storyline.
Rating - 6.5/10
