Nativity! - 2009 - 6/10
Hello class, this year’s Christmas show will be fabulous!
A friend in Hollywood is coming to check it out! You’ll be famous!
Oh, the tangled web fueled by bravado.
Paul is a very disgruntled teacher, who views his life as crap.
He is coerced into producing the annual show, another step downward.
Most of this is unpleasant and unstructured. The cast was urged to improvise. It shows.
Paul’s assistant, Mr. Poppy, would be viewed with suspicion in any other film or world.
This was heading for a 4/10 until the finale turned out to be the whole Christmas show.
No medley (like the lame Little Voice route). Big numbers, well done.
