Featured review
Great fun and laughs for sure but on second watching of trailer noticed I believe some important underlying serious messages about the real meaning of Christmas.
The main meaning is that is the birth of Christ.
The next main message is that when He was on earth He normally chose the most unlikely people to achieve things for Him from a worldly point of view, and they each protested that they thought that He had made a mistake choosing them and told Him they were sure that they would let Him down and not achieve what he had asked them to to do.
However, as things turned out they each grew into the task He had given them and achieved the task at hand brilliantly.
I have always believed that you cannot judge a book by its cover and that each of us is able to do so much more than we recognize in ourselves at first.
Trailer whetted my appetite hugely for anticipated November 2024 release.
