‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ Review: A Faith Based Family Holiday Comedy That Knows The True Meaning Of A Christmas Movie
A review of 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' which takes the classic kids book and turns it into an enchanting new holiday classic
It also is that increasingly rare so-called “faith based” film that doesn’t try to hit you on the head with a sermon, but in this case manages to be thoroughly entertaining family fare that also uncovers the true, not commercial, meaning of the holiday. With sharp production design, lovely cinematography, and a smart approach that never talks down to its audience, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever has also been superbly well cast, especially with the irresisible Herdmans including Schneider who is excellent, and true scene stealer Kynlee Heiman, the youngest of the brood sporting no front teeth and a, uh, memorable rebel yell. Cast: Judy Green, Pete Holmes, Molly Belle Wright, Lauren Graham, Beatrice Schneider, Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez, Matthew Lamb, Essek Moore, Ewan Matthys Wood, Mason Nelligan, Kynlee Heiman, Elizabeth Tabish, Vanessa Benavente
