It wasn't until seeing the credits that I found this is based on an Anne Rice (Interview With The Vampire) novel of the same name. Had I know that, I would not have seen it before reading the reviews.
Information is collected from sources that have no secular evidence in antiquity, and much of the information is over dramatized by the writer. Granted, the Bible does not disclose the Savior's life around this period, but the referenced miracles are from the apocrypha documents that cannot be dated to the time of Christ (some of them being up to 300 years after the event).
If you are looking for reasonable fiction, this film gets a 5 of 10 vote. If you are looking for a faith-based or spiritual movie, as the name suggests, look elsewhere.
