Dove Review

When there is a viewing of an English comedy the laughs are quite different due to their unique sense of humor. This is a story about loss of love, finding the Christmas spirit after losing it and how one little lie can get out of control. It is a charming story that is enjoyable and funny. Mr. Madden and his overgrown assistant teacher Mr. Poppy try to present the Christmas Nativity play in a different way other than the usual. They turn it into a musical that all the children take part in. Along the way there are many obstacles caused by one little fib that Mr. Madden told.

This is entertaining and comical. But I must warn you there is one scene that may be offensive to family members and it is a scene of a woman giving birth in a hospital. With that being said, this film is awarded the Dove ‘Family-Approved” 12+ Seal.
