Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger! (U)

Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger! (U)

Comedy

A worried new teacher has to juggle a pregnant wife and a class of children on a road trip to the National 'Song for Christmas' Competition.


The critical consensus

The kids have their moments, Tennant is game but Wootton’s puppy-dog persona is just about ready to be put down.

Festive cheer will be in short supply for anyone who endures Nativity 2: Danger In The Manger!, a shambolic family offering that grates from start to finish.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Rob Carnevale, The List, 19/11/2012

Nativity 2 is overlong and idiotic.

**(*)(*)(*)Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express, 22/11/2012

Tennant, who also plays Mr Peterson’s snooty twin brother, has the rare distinction of being awful twice.

Even this charming cast struggle to bring life to an overlong story that has all the sizzle of leftover turkey.

**(*)(*)(*)Helen O'Hara, Empire Online, 22/11/2012

The pupils are given loads of kids-say-the-funniest-things dialogue, there's the traditional "audition montage" and the whole thing is like a particularly unsubtle panto.

**(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 22/11/2012

Ho, ho, ho? No, no, no!
