That was an excellent one.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Absolutely terrible. Makes the original Nativity look like Citizen Cane. None of the characters are likable, the story makes absolutely zero sense and is, put simply, not entertaining. Do not subject yourself or your family to this abomination, and do not support the lazy cash grab that is this movie.

The first two Nativity films (especially the first one) have become family favourites,so it is no big surprise to see Debbie Issit trying to wrap up the trilogy with this third enjoyable outing.Either by choice or misfortune the series seems to struggle to keep hold of its leading man with Martin Freeman leaving after the first and David Tennant the second. However, Martin Clunes of Doc Martin fame has made a whole career out of playing frustrated and idiotic men, so seems the perfect choice to take over at the teacher at St Bernadettes this time.As with the first two films it is Marc Wooton who steals the show as Mr Poppy and his performance more than makes up for the plot holes within the piece. It's also nice to see the always funny Catherine Tate appear too.I think sadly though it's a case of third time unlucky for the franchise. The plot is at times verging on ridiculous and there's a shortage of good ideas.If you enjoyed the first two and are in the festive spirit then Nativity 3 is the perfect film for you this Christmas.

Maybe it didn't top the first film, but hey, there was a handful of laughs and it did get me into the Christmas spirit...and it's a Christmas film - so that must be a good thing!People branding it "childish" makes me chuckle. "Childish" suggests it is good for children but perhaps a bit far fetched for the adults of this world. Well, it is a children's film, so surely it is successful in making the content right for its audience? It's rated U after all, did you really expect masses of innuendo and sophisticated drama scenes?The songs in the film are pretty catchy, and the singing is actually pretty good. The acting may not be top notch, but some scenes actually left me a bit teary, with a very good performance from the actress who portrayed young Lauren.Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone in need of a festive treat!

If you have seen Nativity, and Nativity 2, you won't be going into this follow-up movie expecting anything worthy of an Oscar! But what you will be expecting is a movie full of very lighthearted fun, ridiculously silly jokes, and hugely laughable plot-holes, which is exactly what you will get - but that is what makes the Nativity movies so great!With a cast of great British actors (and a donkey), just go into this movie with a giant bag of popcorn and a huge sugary drink and just giggle like a child along to the singing, dancing and our lovable Mr Poppy and get yourself into the Christmas spirit! Well worth a watch if you aren't in the mood for anything serious and want to feel festival, and I promise you will be singing "Dude, Where's My Donkey" for several hours after watching!
