Gripping story with well-crafted characters

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This time around from the first to the the second film this one had chemistry between the two leads. Tennant hit this and left it with a great feel good film. The storyline was lovely it created a feel good feeling where you could see the talent had fun filming it.

So for all you miserable adults out there going "uh, I've wasted my money on this" well, perhaps you did, seeing as though you're 30 years old. This film is for children. For anyone aged between 4 and 12 really, though others will enjoy it too, unless your surname is Scrooge.Good music in it, great acting from Tennant, some funny moments. Yes, some of it was unrealistic and very silly, but most films are unrealistic. If you didn't enjoy this film in the SLIGHTEST, you obviously don't like Christmas much!Well worth a watch.

I enjoyed the original film, so after a glut of stereotypical Hallmark TV Christmas films thought I'd treat my better half to an afternoon at the cinema. Big Big mistake, this has to be the worst film I've ever wasted money on, If anybody employs Marc Wooton in the future they are either certifiable or are trying a producer style filming a flop scam. I would love to say its so bad its good but its just awful.It made me long for Sky's Christmas 24 channel, " a grandpa for Christmas" is a masterpiece compared to this tripeAs a touch of trivia Martin Freeman got the role of Watson in "Sherlock" beating Matt Smith who went on to play "Dr Who" who replaced "David Tennant, who replaced Martin Freeman in this. Tennant got the worst of the deal.

Having never seen the first movie, I had no idea what to expect. I had no I tension of seeing this, because the the trailer looked awful, but my daughter is in charge so I had no choice.And while it's not the best film going, and it's about fifteen minutes too long, it was diverting and mildly amusing at times.Tennent plays the new teacher, who carries around a half heart picture of his twin, and whose wife is heavily pregnant. When he arrives at the school, his class are already preparing for the song for Christmas competition, which Mr Poppy is eager to do....So the film is basically a mix of road trip, and the X factor, with a lot of cute kids singing pretty awful songs, but hey,it's a Christmas movie, so it's heart is in the right place.If you can get past the fact that a lot of the characters would get into trouble by the police for kidnapping, baby snatching, leaving kids behind and not giving it a second thought and several other crimes, it's quite endearing stuff.Tennent is good in his role, but he's playing second fiddle to the guy who plays Mr Poppy. And believe me, he's the marmite of acting, you either love him or hate him, and thankfully, I tolerated the idiot, because he had a heart of gold really.So all in all, it's predictable stuff, almost verging on pantomime in some instants, the ending is what you would expect, child birth in a stable in full view of children did surprise me though.But the fact that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would surprised me the most.A pleasant, totally inoffensive family movie, and those are rare....
