Christmas in Scotland Movie Reviews

Chilly Teuchter Rubbish.

Scottish person here. Unfortunately this nonsense is just a load of hokey drivel. The storyline is the usual – woman meets guy from a posh family then changes the (long ignored) local Christmas celebrations into something ‘new and exciting’….except they’re not. Unfortunately the two lead actors aren’t particularly charismatic. I doubt anyone cared whether they fell in love, or not.

You can’t just film a few old fashioned locations and pretend they’re interesting. I suppose the Americans who made this guff think it’s quaint. It’s not. It’s just boring. There’s no warmth or excitement. All very predictable.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen!

Honestly, as I was watching the movie, I didn’t know if I could continue because the acting and the plot was so incredibly bad. I am so surprised that a budget and funding could even be made for this production. The actors and actresses in the movie have been in other venues and have done well, but in this particular one the entire movie seemed out of step and awkward.

The movie cast the Scottish has being backward and stupid, and the Americans as well. The ending was incredibly stupid because all of a second everyone was in love with everyone within seconds, and that had not been the case throughout the story.

VIEWS ON FILM review of Christmas in Scotland

“Christmas is a time to be with those you love”. Hear hear! Me just loves the holidays.

Anyhow, 2023’s Christmas in Scotland is a deepened spectacle as opposed to some lovey-dovey, Christmassy helping where the leads make googly eyes at each other and the best buds chime in to give bad, impassioned advice. True story: I initially thought “Scotland” was a Hallmark flick, I did. I mean look at the poster (pan right) and get a whiff of the plot (girl goes to a faraway place to fall in love and resurrect the day of festivities spirit via a small Scottish burgh). Bully for that. Christmas in Scotland swaps the saccharine sweet for the savory and yes, it’s all the better for it. “Well what are you waiting around for, you have work to do”. Yes sir!

Admittedly, “Scotland” is not a perfect vehicle for those binge watchers looking to kick those Yuletide blues. I mean the male romantic interest (Dominic Watters as Alex Glenrothie) is creepily troubled and moody whereas the female interest (Jill Winternitz as Emma McKenzie) is warm, laid back, and appealing. Basically they make an off-center, forced pairing. And uh, don’t go into Christmas in Scotland looking to see some postcard, ornate tinsel fest because you ain’t getting it. Like the Scottish foods of neeps and tatties, it ain’t all that.

What Christmas in Scotland does provide is a slow burn drama with shards of lightheartedness and shards of conflict begetting conflict. That’s conflict over family history concerning an affluent heir, conflict over not moving on from relative demise and celebrating Noel, and conflict over turning a Scottish town into Leavenworth, Washington (google it and you’ll see what I mean). The film along with being exactly locale-d (it was actually shot in the Kingdom itself), packs a small, emotional wallop. Merrily Christmas “carded”.
