An upgrade on the preceding sequel, that's for sure. I don't actually dislike <em>'Nativity Rocks!'</em>, to be fair. It isn't good, or even close, but I do acknowledge what they attempt with this. The opening parts of the film are hit-and-miss, especially with the introduction of a new face. Simon Lipkin replaces Marc Wootton in the goofball role, coming in as the brother (Jerry) of the latter (Desmond). Early on, I found Lipkin's character very obnoxious. However, to my surprise, he actually grew on me by the end. Wootton isn't all that missed in truth. The story between Doru (Brian Bartle) and his father (Ramin Karimloo) is fairly hearty, if a little ill-fitting for this type of film. Ruth Jones, Hugh Dennis and Meera Syal are solid casts, while Helen George is a likeable addition. Overall it's poor, but for a third sequel - which follows an awful installment - it does an alright job. There are rumours of a fifth film coming in the future. I mean, I'd watch it as I'm a completionist but...
