Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/rainbow community/drugs/burning/references to sexism and racism and there will be centred adult language reference in this content.

This Christmas film is hard work: briefly; we meet Bradley Mack/another character [Kiefer Sutherland:] he is a performer that quickly finds rock bottom and in a nutshell he has no other choice but to be a character in this Cinderella Theatre production in the UK.

Generally speaking: how can I put this nicely... the script frankly messes the bed of the majority of this film, it takes ages to feel like that this film is going to get up and going; be it the framework or pacing or both and when you think this project which goes on for roughly 97 minutes is either settling down to get going or actually beginning to look like a or feel like a Christmas movie, something comes along in this project to completely derail any positive elements on any level whatsoever and then it just repeat the cycle again and again until you get to the final section where yet again it mostly feels like a Christmas movie, but it just has another time to drop one more clanger just before the final section.

Art, comedy and action; everything surrounding any form of the theatre production be it rehearsals or showtime; this is the biggest positive to this project, including the extra bits and pieces at the end of the movie by absolute miles; likewise be it artistically or/and comedically it looks excellent and good-natured even when our lead role doesn't take it as such in one occasion, but then again our lead role has a physiological altercation with

Kieran [Danny Dyer:] he is a divorced dad that once was married to

Jill [Rebel Wilson:] she is the choreographer working on this pantomime: but we have Bradley vs. Kieran which is good.

Character developments and performances; yet again I made reference to the script, because some of these character developments consequently dialogue exchanges are god-awful, I can't stress how much these movements completely derail the film, why did we have this really awkward moment with Bradley and Jill when without giving too much away Bradley defines their relationship, when a character developments and chemistry, suggest quite clearly something else might be on the cards, so this in itself is just careless and frankly stupid character building, but when this film is good these character developments and subsequently performances can be a solidly good version of what you would expect from a Christmas film to be.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; as I have already indicated in one way or another this project has had problems, I mean on reflection I decided to reduce the mark, because there is a better reflection of this project and how the negatives affected it, this film also has a blooper a reel in the ending credits.
