It was the cruelest of times. Under Herod's torturous reign, families struggled to survive and yet, in the midst of utter turmoil, a young woman's faith is put to the test. Join Mary (Keisha Castle-Hughes) and Joseph (Oscar Isaac) on an incredible journey of hope and discovery. Epic in its scope, yet intimate in it's portrayal of this historical family, this "wonderful film" (Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun Times) is "a family feature that will be cherished for years to come!" (Greg Russell, WMYD-TV, Detroit).
Mary and Joseph make the hard journey to Bethlehem for a blessed event in this retelling of the Nativity story. This meticulously researched and visually lush adaptation of the biblical tale follows the pair on their arduous path to their arrival in a small village, where they find shelter in a quiet manger and Jesus is born.

BAD RATINGS FROM ROTTEN TOMATOESIts obvious that their rating was bias. The movie is great and very accurate. Great for the family to know about ONE OF THE GREATEST STORIES EVER TOLD. The birth of the Messiah!.Score: 5/5
ExcellentAs close as we could get to seeing this story in person! It gives a lot for the imagination and helps the viewer get a good sense of how it might have been back then. This drama draws out the viewers emotions and takes them on a real journey back in time!.Score: 5/5
Easily my favorite Christmas MovieI loved the movie for how it portrayed the struggles that Mary and Joseph would have gone through. Although they took some liberties, I was ok with all of them, because they did not detract from important details, but instead made you think about them. A very spiritually uplifting film..Score: 5/5
Good Story, But Bad ExecutionThe story is beautiful, but we all should know it by now. The acting, the sets, and the camera work were done well. However, you ask me what was the problem with this film? The answer: it had no substance. With films like Ben Hur and Jesus of Nazareth, I'm surprised this one was not as moving. It went on for too long, just dragging on and on with the journey. With the power of editing, this film could have been shorter. I like films about Jesus' life rather than just one part of the beginning of his life. There were certain things that didn't need to be shown. While I do believe in Jesus Christ and the Nativity, this movie was boring, and was not a feel-good Christmas film for the whole family. Even mine drifted off a couple of times..Score: 2/5
Too much speculationI was disappointed, first of all with Mary’s relationship with her parents. There is nothing in Scripture that says her family home was filled with people who were dependent on her father and that he gave her to Joseph to ease the pressure in his own home. Mary’s persona portrayed her as negative and a little bored. There is also nothing in Scripture that says she and Joseph were shunned in Nazareth. I don’t think Joseph delivered Baby Jesus and because Mary was not under the curse of Eve, and herself was conceived without sin, she may not have experienced childbirth in the way the rest of us do. The scene of Mary almost drowning in the river was overkill. I understood the meaning, but it didn’t fit in. Overall, I was disappointed in this movie and have see others about the Birth of Christ that were much more riveting..Score: 1/5
Best movie for ChristmasThis has been the best movie my family and I have watched about the Nativity. It hit important parts, espcially when Mary meets her cousin Elizabeth. That was most touching. Other things are exceptional but this will become a family favorite. This is as memorable as The Passion of Christ by Mel Gibson..Score: 5/5

Rotten tomatoes shouldn’t have rights to reviewSince there’s so much bias to this film by the reviewers, there should be a standard deviation statistic against the critics that vote contrary to the average viewer’s rating. Do rotten tomatoes critics really think people pay attention to them anymore? Obviously the movie is NOT FOR them..Score: 5/5
