Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?! (2014)
This is a seriously bad film!
I enjoyed the first Nativity film and the second was tolerable, but this film goes off the chart of dross! Absolutely the worst film I have ever seen. I am a fan of Martin Clunes, Catherine Tate and Celia Imrie but how they could attach themselves to this film is beyond me. How did it get green lit? How did it get a budget? Why didn't someone say, 'This is a truly dreadful movie, please don't inflict it upon cinema goers?' The script is excruciatingly bad and makes no sense whatsoever - even given that it is (supposedly) a comedy and the boundaries of normal suspension of disbelief can be pushed a little further.
****SPOLIER**** Unlike the two previous Nativity films random and ever changing numbers of children keep breaking into poorly choreographed song and dance numbers. The prospect of an Ofsted inspection is introduced but does not form any part of the story, there are some truly awful and cringeworthy cardboard cut-out characterisations and what can I say about the donkey...? It's called 'Dude, where's my donkey?' But after using the donkey as a device to make Martin Clunes lose his memory, and bringing it back at the end to dance at the top of the Empire State building, no one is looking for the donkey. And as for the way Martin Clunes gets his memory back... seriously? Believe? I absolutely didn't. ****SPOLIER ENDS****
Please save your money, save your sanity, save yourselves! Don't bother...
