If I could give it zero stars then I would.
From within the first 10 minutes I sat in the cinema and realised this movie was going to be terrible.
Completely formulaic and predictable from the very beginning. The acting is terrible, the sound mixing is terrible, although the cinematography isn't too bad in some scenes, it is very inconsistent. Too many characters have too many lines with little idea of who they are in respect to the main characters so they may as well not be there. It became very clear that some scenes were only inserted to pad the runtime and characters often have the ability to virtually teleport from one scene to the next across London in a faster time than the main characters managed which gives you a hint as to how bad the editing and continuity management is.
All in all it tries to be a "Love Actually" clone but with a near all black cast, which could have been a refreshing bit of cinema but fails miserably due to the above.
If you have not seen it yet then save your time and money and give this one a solid miss.
