Overview
- Critics from The Hollywood Reporter, Collider and JoBlo highlight a self-aware, feel-good tribute to British pantomime anchored by Sutherland’s self-deprecating turn.
- The film follows a washed-up action star pushed into a small-town Cinderella pantomime, playing up a pantomime-within-a-pantomime conceit without revealing key plot turns.
- Rebel Wilson co-stars as the choreographer Jill alongside an ensemble that includes Derek Jacobi, Mawaan Rizwan, Maria Friedman, Jason Manford, Asim Chaudhry and Danny Dyer.
- Theatrical and VOD release is set for Nov. 28, with Radio Times reporting a Sky Cinema debut on Dec. 5 as part of the early-December window.
- Sutherland tells UPI the movie nods to his viral Christmas tree jump and stretched him into new territory with musical numbers and broad comedy.
