ANALYSIS “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” has made headlines over the past month by opening and holding onto both box office and critical acclaim. Not only was it well reviewed by critics (including myself), but by audiences as well.
The film also currently holds a 91% critics score and a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. This is unheard of for a faith-based property.
