Recent films: Nativity! (18th December)

My rating: 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔

Nativity! is the second British film on my list, with Last Christmas being the first, and you can read my review here!

I really enjoyed this! It was a look at a primary school event that happens annually at so many schools! The nativity! Except we have Martin Freeman as a teacher called Paul Maddens who has given up.  He doesn't really care any more, but then he talks to a former university friend, Gordon Shakespeare, who asks about Maddens former girlfriend, Jennifer Lore (Ashley Jensen), who moved to Hollywood to become a big time producer.

Maddens manages to tell Shakespeare that Lore is coming to watch their nativity, and so the problems spiral from there, helped by Mr Poppy, a classroom assistant, who is more student than helper.

It was so different to the other Christmas films around, and was a breath of fresh air.  It was very enjoyable!
