The film, based on the beloved book by Barbara Robinson, follows the chaotic and hilarious journey of the six notorious Herdman siblings—Imogene, Ralph, Claude, Leroy, Ollie, and Gladys—as they hijack a small town’s traditional Christmas pageant. Known for their cigar-smoking, store-looting, and general mayhem, the Herdmans are the last kids anyone expected to see in a church play. But when they take on the nativity roles with surprising sincerity, the community witnesses a raw and moving retelling of the Christmas story.
Featuring standout performances by Judy Greer and Pete Holmes, the film turns a classic tale on its head, revealing how even the most unlikely among us can find redemption, community, and meaning in the Christmas story.
“The El Dorado Film Festival has always been a champion of bringing independent film and filmmakers together, just as SAAC is always looking for ways to bring in more of our community and make sure everyone feels loved and accepted. This screening is a great opportunity to showcase everything we are working towards for the community,” saidEl Dorado Film Festival Chairperson Tamra Corley Davis
This festive screening is a celebration of community, creativity, and inclusion. Events like these reflect our ongoing commitment to offer programming that uplifts and connects our diverse region, and SAAC is grateful for the support that made this free event possible, with special thanks to Kingdom Story Company for generously providing licensing rights to show the movie.
