  WHAT I LIKED: Like his 'Love Actually,' Richard Curtis' 'That Christmas,' follows a bunch of different characters at Christmas, but unlike 'Love Actually,' it has no unifying theme. Instead, it's just a premise for some nice animation, fluffy humour, and disparate little character stories in a small English town. The one about a boy who ends up spending Christmas with his headteacher because his Mum is working as a nurse is lovely.
  
  WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The other stories - one about a bunch of middle-class parents leaving their kids with an older sibling, and the other about two twins who Santa gets mixed up - are decidedly less interesting.
  
  VERDICT: 'That Christmas,' will pass a couple of hours at Christmas, and it has some nice moments, but there are far better films out there to watch with the family over the festive period.
