Nativity!(2009)
"The set up is as familiar as ever but the film does extremely well at never getting carried away with itself"
I hate holiday movies. They’re frequently saccharine, forced and their attempts to portray a happy family atmosphere always leave me cold. Bah humbug. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed one since Planes, Trains and Automobiles in 1987 (and even then, that was about Tha...

The film is a wonderful example of how, in cinema, simplicity is king. Using four a...
