I went to see this film with my mum after a Christmas shopping trip and was amazed by how good it was. The problem with so many Christmas films is that the 'ideal Christmas' they end up presenting is American-centric and very materialistic, consequently it was very refreshing to watch a Christmas film about a non commercial British tradition. It was also a very sweet film that managed to stay the right side of saccharine, without giving away too much I liked how the film managed to be positive about all of it's characters and not just the obvious heroes. I also thought the film was genuinely funny and pitched at all levels well from the silly (the children's auditions) to the fairly witty ("Those who can't act, teach, and those who can't teach, teach primary school" isn't a line I'll be repeating to my teacher aunt). All in all this is a lovely Christmas film for the entire family!
