又是一年圣诞季,圣公会主学堂小学老师保罗·麦盾(马丁·弗瑞曼 Martin Freeman饰)正被一场圣诞回顾秀而弄得焦头烂额。原因很简单,只因为他在众人面前夸下海口,许诺要给小镇带来一场最好的回顾秀,更大肆吹嘘他的前女友詹尼弗(阿什丽·詹森 Ashley Jensen饰),将以好莱坞制片人的身份把这次圣诞节目表演变成一部电影。 可就当保罗因此成为镇上的焦点人物时,来自所有父母和孩子们的期许以及众人希望借此机会大赚一笔的压力,都使保罗进退两难。唯一的希望只能靠几年没联系的詹尼弗联系好莱坞来到小镇,才能一尝众人所愿。This Christmas, primary school teacher Paul Maddens is charged with producing the school's nativity play. Competing against the posh rival school for the honor of best reviewed show in town, the stakes are raised when Paul idly boasts that his ex-girlfriend Jennifer, a Hollywood Producer, is coming to see his show with a view to turning it into a film. The only trouble is - they haven't spoken in years. With eccentric assistant Mr Poppy fuelling his 'little white lie', Maddens suddenly finds himself a local celebrity and at the center of quarreling parents and over-excited children desperate in their bid for fame and fortune. Maddens' only hope is to get back in touch with Jennifer and lure Hollywood to town so that everybody's Christmas wishes come true.
