Martin Freeman is lovelorn teacher Mr Maddens, a former am-dram star whose girlfriend (Ashley Jensen) dumped him over Christmas five years ago and upped sticks, inexplicably, to La-La Land. Yuletide cheer is not his forte, but he's forced to drum some up when Pam Ferris's headmistress earmarks him to direct the Nativity play.
This movie contains 8 potentially triggering events.
At one point a woman's parents are informed that her former dog has been killed, but that is a lie to get her phone number for her former boyfriend who owns the dog. The dog is fine.
there is talk about how some of the things they do are illegal (like the school trips to hospital etc…) and characters run from securitybut no on is arrested
100% safe!! Only time its vaguely mentioned is when mr poppy says he gave the donkey chocolate and it was “feeling a bit icky” but thats all u hear about it. Also before a girls about to go on stage she says she has a tummy ache but its only due to nerves and someone else takes her place. :)
-also theres like 2/3 times where people burp if that’s triggering but it wasnt to me
School children are taken on a "field trip" to a hospital to watch a birth to prepare for the Nativity play. There are shocked faces, and a student, the teacher, and his assistant all faint.
