First of all, it's horrible that this movie has 230+ votes in the Parent's Guide for extreme sex, violence, language, alcohol, etc. When there is only mild violence in one part and none of anything else. It's amazing to what extremes people will go to to trash someone they don't like.
Secondly, Kirk Cameron is cheesy. Yes. He created a low budget film to help spread a message he believes in for Christmas. No, not all of what he says is historically accurate. Though, a lot of it is and he makes some good symbolic connections that we often miss when we read the words of the Bible.
If you're a Christian and can't see past the production value of this movie you're missing the the forest for the trees.
We watch this movie every year with our kids. Yes, the production sucks. That's why I only rated it a 7. But, it opens up some fantastic dialogue and questions. Even, questions around the ridiculousness of it.
