With Martin Freeman away being Bilbo Baggins it’s up to new
teacher David Tennant (Fright Night) to take over the unruly schoolchildren of
St Bernadette’s and lead them to Wales , where they will compete in
the TV competition A Song For Christmas.
Marc Wootton returns as the zany Mr Poppy, as does the
majority of the original cast, including most of the children. Tennant, while
adequate in his dual roles, is never as likable as Freeman was and his
dysfunctional family storyline fails to engage.
This is ok for kids but lacks the charm of the original
making it a rather mundane affair.
Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger is in UK cinemas now.

I didn't know there was a Nativity I.
ReplyDeleteI haven't hear of the original, let alone the sequel. :)
