Review by julienicholson-12168

Lazy writing, very predictable and I love a predictable Christmas 'daytime' movie, but this was beyond appalling. Beano acted like some sort of demented imbecile, the head teacher was such a bitch she was not at all realistic and the big boss was so thoroughly unlikable that her business would have gone bust many years ago. Obvious city guy has to shout at locals for riding their horse on country lanes, kids have to wear swimming goggles and fairy wings because they are from such a bohemian family.

Not one likeable character. Weak story, not worth battling beyond the first 30 minutes.

I was so disappointed as I thought I'd found a terrific British Christmas movie. If this is the best on offer then I'd rather cr@p in my hands and clap.

I was hoping to have found the next 'Nativity' but sadly disappointed.
