What´s the plot?
‘Nativity’ is a British comedy starring Martin Freeman and Ashley Jenson.

Mr Maddens (Martin Freeman) is a primary school teacher tasked with producing his school’s nativity play, which competes every year with the local private school’s own production. Eager to make an impression, Mr Maddens announces that his ex girlfriend, a Hollywood producer, will be making their nativity play into a film. The problem is, he hasn’t actually spoken to his ex-girlfriend for years. Now the pressure is on to persuade his ex to visit England and stage a blockbuster play.

A real Christmas cracker

Reviewer: Mrs Tiggywinkle

What a lovely film! Saw it with my husband and 10 year old daughter and we all loved it. The children's acting is amazing and Martin Freeman was his usual brilliant, typical, cynical British bloke. As my husband said, you have to be very cold-hearted not to be charmed by this film. It is sentimental but just stops before it becomes too much and it will definitely become a Christmas classic in our household. I loved Mr Poppy as the classroom assistant and as one myself, I have now found my role model!
