The sequel to the fun Christmas film of 2022. That film was a welcome alternative to the load of sweet romantic comedies that appear in abundance every end of the year. The film had a nice plot about a woman from a humble background who accidentally spends Christmas in her wealthy boyfriend's family castle while her spoiled boyfriend accidentally celebrates Christmas in his girlfriend's humble working-class family. A film with pleasant characters and a culture clash that was played out funny.
Such a fundamentally humorous element as culture shock no longer works the second time. The characters from the upper and lower classes now know each other and are familiar with each other's environment. So we shouldn't look for humor there, the makers wisely thought. So the film tries with a variation on the culture clash. A winter sports holiday in Austria where the well-to-do accidentally end up in a shabby mountain hut and the poor in a chic resort.
It results in a cramped-looking scenario with all kinds of unfunny events performed by characters who still performed fresh and fun in the first part, but now make an overwrought and bland impression. It's not all that funny. It is very predictable and tiring. It's a bland snack.
The romantic part, which hardly played a significant role in the first film, also takes up a large part of the time, making the film barely distinguishable from the flood of sweet romantic Christmas comedies that were released again this year. Your Chrismas or Mine 2 is just an annoying Christmas movie.
