I needed something to watch that was light and didn't require to much concentration and I happened upon this. Oh my what delight.
George Ezra and his two best friends Adam and Christie embark on a walk from Lands End to John O'Groats, 1215 miles. They meet a few musicians along the way (what is lovely is that these musicians are not famous stars, but local musicians to the area, one actually was a second cousin in a brass band).
The scenery is fabulous, the midges looked horrendous. They camped along the way, with George playing his guitar and singing a few songs, lucky friends. No posh hotels, but clearly they had a support vehicle, but spending 3 months on this trip you would need one and I certainly wouldn't begrudge them that.
I highly recommend it and I will certainly watch it again.

I will give every film benefit of doubt and give every film a good go, but gosh with this I just couldn't.
The premise is that they always go away at Christmas to avoid going to their families, this year that went wrong (won't give away that detail as to why) and in turn have to go to each family of which there are 4 on Christmas day. I got to family visit number two and gave up. For two such well known actors this was truly a big disappointment, it really was a amateur performance at best. I know and accept that Christmas films are meant to be cringeworthy and I don't mind that, but this was another league.
There are many Christmas films out there, I would advise to choose one of those.

A good rainy day film
Despite the negative reviews I enjoyed this for what it is. I have not read the book and don't intend too, I have seen other adaptions and this is just a little more modern with a few swear words (not many) and a variety of sexual positions not used in previous films.
The scenery was beautiful, the costumes were fabulous and not of a style that have I seen before in any film of this period. The acting was all good but I think I would have cast a different Connie, I find Corrin slightly irritating.
On the whole it's an enjoyable escape for 2 hours and I will watch it again...on another rainy day.
