Nobody is ready for the mayhem and surprises that ensue when six of the worst youngsters disrupt the town's yearly Christmas performance.

Beloved and I saw this yesterday and are both giving two enthusiastic thumbs up.
I have to admit that it started off feeling a little like a made-for-television, Hallmark blah-blah-blah because of the heavy dose of narration (provided by Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham). But then the humor started kicking in and it became more fun and engaging.
Little did I know that by the time it ended, we would both be wiping tears from our faces. And I don't want to say anything more about it except that y'all should go see it.
Behind-the-Scenes Footage: We had gone to the theater with tickets in hand for the Tom Hanks/Robin Wright film, Here, but there was a technical issue with the projector and it couldn't be shown. The managerial apology not only included passes for a movie of our choosing in the future and free popcorn and a soda, but we were allowed to trot on over to another movie in the multiplex...which is how we ended up seeing this gem yesterday instead. Great deal!
