Watch Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?! For Free

So much average

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The first must-see film of the year.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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!

This second sequel in this so-called British-based series of Christmas films focuses on St. Bernadettes School in Coventry in England as the school children assisted by their favourite assistant Mr. Desmond Poppy (Marc Wootton) have lost their donkey Archie while they are having plans to try to win a Flash Mob competition to win a trip to New York City and they are having their hands full to try to help their new teacher Jeremy Shepherd (Martin Clunes) who was struck with amnesia as he is getting ready to marry his fiancée in the Big Apple. This sequel is pretty much what you come to expect like the first two films were which is filled with slapstick humour and hammy acting but this time it ends up being one of those low-common-denominator efforts that hits the bottom of the barrel with a poorly written script that gives the film no sense at all, but despite the best efforts of some good talent among the cast such as Clunes, Wootton and the child actors, most of the performances are rather unconvincing, the songs are tuneless and even the slapstick moments in which one which involves some donkey droppings were not even remotely funny and some jokes are tired although I did find one Smurf-related joke that made me chuckle but that's about it. Don't waste your time and money on this film as it would be better suited being screened on TV or on DVD because at least the quality of the film alone might seem cut out for it.

OK... Is there a legal precedence for trying to claim back 2 hours of my life..? Does this film count as a case of fraud, cinema is meant to be entertaining and this film certainly is not.Yes my 8 and 5 year old's laughed at the 'farting' comments and jokes, and Mr Poppy dressed as a snow pig seemed to amuse them too... but all I can assume is that this film was made to try and claw money off the poor unsuspecting British public by desperately trying to hang onto the coat tails of the original film (still).=====*****SPOILERS*****===== Martin Clunes and Catherine Tate should be ashamed of themselves, Clunes in particular spent most of the film with 'no memory' and as it came across this included the ability to act, Tate is poor at best and to be honest is as sincere in her relationship with Clunes as the Snow Queen. The start of the film we find that the School is going to be inspected by Ofsted the whole build up is about the failings of the school, at the end of the film there is no conclusion... It's as though there are two films badly stuck together...Mr Poppy will keep the kids amused if only for a few moments, but truth be told it is tired and tedious at best.Do yourself a favour and DON'T BOTHER seeing this film, it should have gone straight to DVD and stayed there...The film
