This is a British comedy filled with the kind of humour English movies bring. The characters are well developed and quite funny. Paul has his share of detractors as well including Mr. Shakespeare who’s music director of the much more well to do school across the way, and a who’s always anxious to beat the ugly stepchild school St. Bernadette’s. Paul goes through some really silly attempts to make it all right again, and Mr. Poppy is always there ruining everything again. This pair are very good, and managed to make at least one sequel (coming tomorrow) and possible a scheduled 3rd one in 2014 that I haven’t heard about yet. All in all, if you love British humor with the hysterical characters like the Monty Python guys, Fawlty Towers, and Mr. Bean, this is a really funny film. This film screams Christmas in the Isles and will probably make the Brit’s feel homesick, but if you’re not a fan of that kind of humor it could be a little over the top in the humor department. I found it a likeable film, and well worth the time spent watching it. Hint: It’s playing on UPTV this year as well as available on DVD.
