2025 * TV-PG * 4-30m episodes I'm going to break from tradition and review a tv show. The reason being is that I wanted to review something new in the way of holiday movies. Unfortunately, this year's offerings are really lame. So when I noticed a four-part tv show starring Rowan Atkinson, I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. I've been a huge fan of his since his wonderful "Black Adder" series. I know he can get goofy at times, but hey, I grew up watching the Three Stooges, so that's my excuse!
Naturally, the story takes place over the holidays. Trevor Bingley is the custodian at the local elementary school. After he helps put on the annual Christmas play, the infant that played the part of Baby Jesus is left behind. Everyone has split for the Christmas break, and he doesn't know where it came from nor what to do with it. Then he gets a very lucrative opportunity to housesit at a posh apartment in London. But the catch is, he can't have any guests with him. So he heads down to London, baby in tow, without a plan as to how he'll hide the baby.
As you'd expect from a Rowan Atkinson production, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. But the situations are so ridiculous, they're laugh out loud funny. And without too much of a spoiler, let's just say there's a happy ending to this caper. If you're looking for something refreshingly different to watch over the holidays, be sure to catch this one.
