Save your money for something good and enjoyable

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This time around from the first to the the second film this one had chemistry between the two leads. Tennant hit this and left it with a great feel good film. The storyline was lovely it created a feel good feeling where you could see the talent had fun filming it.

Life is full of awful, scary, and full of serious things. You know what is refreshing? A bit of mindless watching that is not important or meaningful or relevant. Sometimes we just need silly fun. Stupid, silly, completely unbelievable fun. This ridiculous movie makes my children laugh. And it makes me laugh. It even makes my husband laugh (no mean feat). There are a lot of talented, serious, and celebrated actors in this movie who are not taking themselves seriously. And isn't that refreshing!The show itself is the highlight. So many clichés. Jessica Hynes arriving on the stage sitting in a flying wreath as the child singing sensation who's never moved on... The bleak, Dickensian number... The important classical piece... the totally awful rap number... and my favorite, "All I Want is Christmas Stuff". HAHAHAHAHA. And of course, TWO David Tennants.Don't be a Scrooge. Have some fun.

Rumour has it that Guantanamo Bay use these Nativity films for torture. I see why. Its just inhumane. Please do not subject your kids to this mental torture as they could easily maintain brain damage for life.What Debbie Isitt and her amateur film crew do is they obtain the worst singing/atonal kids to sing about Christmas and happiness, and snow and Santa and Lucifer Son of Satan and family togetherness and Jesus. There's also a bit where they kidnap a baby and 14 kids or something like that. Seeing as how annoying the kids where, I was hoping I was watching the news.The good thing is that I never want kids now. This may save me misery in the future. This could be a more humane way of treating the China 1 child policy, just show every citizen this dirge and no- one will reproduce.In comparison, Paul Blart: Mall Cop is our lord and saviour. Nativity 2 is so bad I am genuinely thinking of starting a mini-cult worshipping Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Anyone want to join?Nice to see a 5 star performance by David Tennant's stunt double. I mean, when North Korea show off kid's talents on television they have them play tunes on the guitar. And you know what? They do it properly unlike our irritating, stuck-up, snotty-nosed, little brats. I think we, as a country, need to seriously think about our future. These kids will run the country one day... and that is something (like climate change and the oil crisis) we should really ponder and is a serious imminent threat.

Having enjoyed the original 'Nativity' I was slightly dubious about this sequel but I'm pleased to say that all involved have done a great job and that it more than stands up against the previous instalment.David Tennant does well replacing Martin Freeman in the lead and his story is both funny and moving throughout. As with the original it is Marc Wootton's Mr Poppy who steals the show and their chemistry is one of the film's strong points.While there is perhaps not as much depth to this film as the original it remains an enjoyable film that can entertain all the family and I for one look forward to the planned sequel coming to cinemas next Christmas.
