Boxing Day (2012) ⭐ 5.8 | Drama
December 21, 2012 - The actors and film crew developed the base for sustained interest, and even the writer insofar as the character development. About 2/3 of the way, the writer is lost and in need of creative help to try to integrate his story with Tolstoy's. It may be he simply wanted too much for it end in a modern day version of Tolstoy's ending.

Boxing Day
Festive romcom has diversity, language, sex references. Read Common Sense Media's Boxing Day review, age rating, and parents guide. This British romcom is an entertaining festive film that is the perfect tonic after a long week's work. "Boxing Day" is a film to kick back to, make a cup of tea and enjoy, under a blanket while it snows outside. For this you've got to commend first-time writer and director Ameen, who has displayed a real aptitude for his new craft behind the lens, while of course starring as the leading role. Casting himself as a love interest to two brilliant women does bear sha

Then goes all the cliche and a predictable ending. ... This is a funny tale that does its job as a heart warming feel good film. It is a bit obvious at times and had some ridiculous coincidences but that doesn't distract from the film. The best bit of the film though is the excellent choice in music along with some characters. Well worth a watch for Xmas. ... Boxing day It has a nice and upbeat styling with a beautiful sprinkle of culture (black, British and American).

December 19, 2021 -

It’s definitely not your typically, over the top, extra cheese Christmas movie. It’s a little bit slower moving and there are a lot of characters but I enjoyed it! For Leigh’s first movie I think she fit the roll perfectly.

The rawness in her emotions and how she portrayed Georgia was heartbreaking. And maybe it’s because I went through a similar thing this year, that I really resonated with her performance.

But the part that got me was her cover of Say A Little Prayer in the club thing about 1/3rd of the way in the movie. She actually recorded it live during the scene and the amount of emotion she is able to portray in her singing and expression was impeccable. You could feel the heartbreak and love with every breathe.

15/10 recommend at least looking up that scene. It made the movie for me.

Edit to add the song name. It was the cover of Aretha Franklin’s I Say A Little Prayer
