The Office: Christmas Special: Part 2 (2003)
Season 3, Episode 2
10/10
This is definitely the best!!!
23 May 2006
The best end of any show I have ever seen. I almost cried. I won't give away any spoilers, but it does not disappoint in the slightest.

The acting, directing... all carry on beautifully from the show into the finale, which is supposed to be the reuniting of all of the characters from The Office a few years after their split. Dawn and her husband come back from America, David comes back from his colleague-imposed exile, and everything is--more or less--the same, with just as many difficulties as in the old days. Amazing, and nothing more to say of this. Dawn has annoyed tension with her husband, Tim and Dawn are both quite on edge around each other, Dave has tried to make it as a celebrity who does nothing, but has come out on the rough edge of things, and Gareth... is still the same old Gareth that we all love! I would definitely recommend a watch for anybody at all who was unsettled with the way the show actually ended. This is most definitely worth it!

A really well-made, spectacular movie!

Warning: Spoilers
This was a wonderful movie. It was quite well-acted, despite depending so heavily on child actors (which movies don't tend to do, unless said child actor is Dakota Fanning). But really, this was quite well done. Star performances go especially to Alice Connor (Hornet) and Rollo Weeks (Scipio) for their roles, as they best fit their book counterparts.

My only qualms with this movie were that the grown-ups (namely the Hartliebs) got obnoxious very quickly, and that the movie was far too rushed. Some of the good acting had to be done very quickly, and it made it seem far less believable. Also, the Hornet/Prosper bits which were thrown so well into the book were suddenly awkward in the movie. Besides these hindrances, this was a wonderful film, which I would recommend, not to 'Harry Potter' fans, necessarily, but to fans of anything with this sort of feel... Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events, or even Narnia.
