It's not just that the fictitious story of Jesus, who never existed, is portrayed in this worthless production, but that the acting and presentation is so atrocious that one can't stand it for long. I caught this late night on some dumb religious channel, obviously its an attempt to make cheap propaganda films based on silly myths and legends, but no one invested one ounce of creativity or money on this rubbish. The production values are nil, the special effects were composed on a commodore 64 computer, the wigs look fake, the settings look like the countryside of Iowa and the people stand around looking inept. The story concerns some angel who speaks to two dumb oaf shepherds, who don't look Aramaic, it tells them about the birth of some guy in a smelly barn. After that, there's only incredulous shots that are supposed to awe us but they just bore us. Jesus turns some water into wine, big deal, but they'd want you to believe its important to the plot in some way. Anyone who has half a brain should figure the motive of this movie out really quick. At best its a laughable attempt at hokum, directed by an inept boorish arm chair bible thumper in the worst possible way. I can't see anyone actually going out to buy a bible or getting baptized after watching this valueless crud. If anything, this helps the atheist cause more than the fanatical christians its intended for.
