This is not a typical Christmas movie. Unlike those Hallmark's generic ones, this one is actually heartfelt. But for goodness sake, if you want to include politics and other cultures, do some research before writing a script! I was annoyed through the whole thing. First of all, Yugoslavia did not exist in 1999, it was already fallen apart and divided into separate countries, so the beginning of the movie was absolutely ridiculous. I was also baffled by that catholic cathedral, but at the end they mentioned they were Croatians, so that's fine since majority are catholics there, but there would not be any singing in English that's for sure. And what on earth does KGB or Poland have to do with EX YU? KGB was agency in Soviet Union, there's no connection with Yugoslavia whatsoever, so I guess that moment and the one where Petra blames Poland supposed to be a comic relief, never mind it makes no sense at all. Ema Thompson's pronunciation of Serbo-Croatian is midly said very bad. She spoke my mother tongue and I couldn't understand a word she said. Her accentuation and pronunciation was Russian, she really could've tried a bit more to learn how to properly say those few sentences she had. Emilia, on the other hand, really put an effort into it and spoke everything correctly.

These idiocy put aside, it's a good movie. Emilia is adorable and wonderful as always. Just for her and that twist at the end, I give it 8/10.
