Circus Noël

Oddly enough, I wasn't supposed to see this movie. I bought a totally different film at the Dollar Tree but it was mis-stamped and this was the movie on the disc.

However, it was enjoyable enough to watch with my significant other and fourteen-year-old son. The over-dubbing was quite good, as was the camera work, set, and - especially considering the number of child actors - the acting.

I was right on the verge of a 7 out of 10, but the story - while cute - is a little weak. I remember watching an odd horror film at a festival years ago, and the highlight was that the extras were vaudeville performers, and that was the highlight of the movie for me. For this, it would have been cool to see some actual circus performers and then just mask up the actors - that sort of thing.

Still, worth the watch for a family film or perhaps to support these sort of indie projects.
