A truly wonderful heartwarming Xmas story, and of course true. Felt every emotion going through the film, and shed a tear. Some superb acting in which I could resonate with each character. Farewell Bob xxxx.

A real heartwarmer of a film but its a heartbreaker too. Bob sadly passed away after the making of the movie and that made it quite hard to watch at times. It is still worth seeing though, even if you do have to hold back the tears.

Found this one overly preachy and formulaic.

It's good to see Luke Treadaway return as James, as well as Bob the Cat; before his sad passing. However, everything else felt too forced in 'A Christmas Gift from Bob'. The plot is boring and predictable, with most of the dialogue feeling like it's telling us about issues rather than showing us; which is the opposite of the 2016 film.

Away from Treadaway, who is solid, there aren't any exceptional support casts - though I did like Phaldut Sharma's Moody. It misses Ruta Gedmintas and Joanne Froggatt, though I can understand that they might not have fitted with the story that they went for here; especially Froggatt.

It does have some sweet scenes still, as well as the expected cat cuteness. Unfortunately, it just didn't work due to the earlier mentioned problems - at least in my opinion. It's nothing terrible, granted.
