charming but needs better post production

It was great to see black british representation without the struggle or strife. Considering this is Ameen's first feature film, I think he did a good job. It defo has an indie film kind of vibe.

The lead male character wasn't correctly casted imo, he isn't buff enough for two stunners to be fighting over him. And he's not very likeable.

I love the mum and her partner. Their story was cute! Aja is amazing as always. The audio and editing could do with a little more work but a great great effort.

I was confused about the Caribbean and African blending of the families at times - it seems like everyone was just 'black'.. so it was abit annoying to see they disregarded the variety and disparities between the two cultures.

That said, half the bias fools on here are spewing hate and prejudice with their 1/2/3 stars. Was it amazing? Meh but its really not as bad as these "critics" are saying. IT'S A CHEESY HOLIDAY FILM - LIGHTEN UP!!

Happy I could support the beginning of something so forward thinking, I cant wait to see where he goes from here!
