I just finished seeing The Nativity.

I thought it was very well done. They presented Joseph in a manner that most movies of this genera do not. A strong, supportive man who is willing to sacrifice for the wellbeing of his family.

The detail to the time period is done as well as The Passion was.

It was interesting to see how the director presented how the people in the town treated Joseph and especially Mary after it was known she was with child.

Some of the details in the story are a little shaky. The Wise Men appearing on the same night as Jesus's birth. The star of Bethlehem being three planets aliening together.

The woman who played Mary was just perfect, a wonderful choice.

My local newspaper printed a review from the AP, which was not good. I feel like writing a letter to the editor asking why they chose a negative review, instead of a positive one. I'll be seeing it at noon tomorrow with my mother, aunt, and daughter. Thanks for your review!

She's not a woman, she's a 16-year-old girl who is pregnant in real life.
