Review of Boxing Day

Boxing Day (2021)
2/10
Dull writing, characters and about as Christmassy as a rock
6 December 2021
Don't be fooled by this being called Boxing Day or being set at Christmas, it's got all the festive feeling of Halloween 3!! Walked out after 30 minutes. Didn't have high hopes but this film managed to miss those already low expectations. Writing is weak and you don't care a single bit for any of the characters because of this. Wooden performances don't help either. One of those projects where the writer/actor/director are the same person so it's a proper vanity project with zero quality control because they're doing it all. The plot is basically a series of contrived misunderstandings and implausible unexplained events you could see coming a mile away which did nothing to further the film in the 30 minutes I sat through and that's why I left. Actually went for a burger and ended up being sick 6 hours later that night but that was still a preferable outcome to watching this film till the end. Stick to Love Actually if you are in need of some British festive fun.
