This unabashedly wacky and high spirited take on a Christmas classic is lots of fun.

Not your usual lovey-dovey rom-com; this is a comedy about people and relationships with themes of culture, religion and sexuality intertwined. Expect comedic realism.

At school, we used to have to go to church every week. One time, after singing a particularly inane hymn, I slumped back down onto the ...
