Meanwhile, back in Persia, the three Magi - Melchior, Balthasar, and Shemp, I mean, Gaspar - seem more like the THREE STOOGES than WISE MEN. I hope Christians take the time to support this movie over the weekend when the media will be monitoring the turnout. I'm taking my mother to see it tomorrow.

The empty stridency of this review increases my interest in the movie.

I feel the same way. Hopefully, it will make money.

Here's hoping that we all live lives valuable enough to be condemned by the media for their "bland earnestness."

a sweet, live-action version of an elementary-school Christmas pageant. When was the last time an elementary school put on a Christmas pageant? If this were in schools today, Joseph would be gay, and Mary would be muslim.

I thought the previews looked very beautiful and compelling. They sure got me excited to see it, which is saying something.
It is probably aimed at family audiences, which is why the 'critic' (who I've never heard of) perceived it to be like films of the 50s and 60s. Not necessarily a bad thing.
I also think we need to be careful not to get so wrapped up in a frenzy over this movie that, if it is a poorly made film, we don't get sucked into advertising mania and reward a filmmaker for making bad art. Christians should support films like this, but they shouldn't be manipulated into seeing flms because of marketing.

Great! Are you getting your ticket in advance? It might be busy.
