As good as the first one - but that's my opinion

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2000)

This film is exactly the same as the first one, only with a different setting and different characters. It's a matter of opinion which version of the story you prefer. Personally I prefer this one, with Brenda Fricker doing an excellent performance as the pigeon woman and Tim Curry hilarious as the Hotel Manager. It's more in touch with the Christmas spirit than the first one too.
Forget that the bad guys takes much more beating than anyone would survive, just sit down and enjoy it! Forget everything, and let the movie build up a good Christmas feeling! This movie has much more chance of doing so than the first one! I give it a 7/10!
