NATIVITY

MARTIN FREEMAN is Mr. Maddens, a frustrated, under-achieving primary school teacher. His long time adversary Gordon Shakespeare (JASON WATKINS) teaches at the posh independent school up the road. Every year the two schools are embroiled in a bitter rivalry to achieve a 5-star review from the local paper for their nativity play. Maddens' class always comes runner up - the story of his life. Goaded by his rival's arrogance, Maddens makes an idle boast to Shakespeare that this year, his school's show-stopping musical has attracted the attention of his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lore (ASHLEY JENSEN) - who happens to be a big time Hollywood producer. They want to make a movie starring his kids... Hollywood is coming to Coventry!
