When I was young and successful, I was greedy and foolish, and now I'm left with no one. Wrinkled and alone.

Rating: 9/10 (14 January 2020)

A great all star cast and writing is fused together with this Christmas holiday movie. The director and writer, Richard Curtis, did a terrific job. It begins in an airport and ends there. The cast included the wonderful Alan Rickman; Dame Emma Thompson; Colin Firth CBE; Rowan Atkinson CBE; Hugh Grant; Laura Linney; Liam Neesam OBE; Martine McCutcheon; Bill Nighy; Billy Bob Thornton and more. A young boy falls in love after his mother has died during Christmastime. We don't even see Anne Reid and Frances De La Tour at all due to the edits. The film director could have made two movies. Alan Rickman and Thompson played a long term married couple. Laura Linney's character is an American woman living and working in London, England with a mentally ill brother. I wished she had a happier ending in her life. The film is heartwarming tale of life and love in London, England when you wanted to live there. Bill Nighy was great as an aging rock star. Atkinson has two scenes pivotal to the plot. There were just so many story lines going on that could have edited in writing first hand. Still it's a happy film overall.
