Plot

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE FILM. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.The story about the birth of Jesus and the events leading up to the birth of Jesus is focus of this animated film.This is basically "The Nativity For Dummies". It is meant for an audience of small children and adults with the IQ no higher than Sarah Palin's.Now this special has good intentions and at times it works. What doesn't work is the "Surfer Boy" narrator" who breaks into terrible songs. What does work wonders is how Mary ended up in the Bethlehem giving birth to Jesus.I think this film will bore most people over 9. The film also takes several liberties with the story and events. It also stick with the parts of "The Nativity" that really are not true. Did you know "Jesus" was born not in a stable but in a cave. Did you know that there was "No Room at the Inn" is really meant as "There was no room upstairs". Now I am a Christian and I know the story of the birth of Jesus but I wish someone would make a film with the correct facts.
