Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?! (2014)
Painful
Having found the previous two 'Nativity' films reasonably enjoyable, I was extremely disappointed by this overly long, extremely contrived and frankly boring film. It kept my 10 year old's attention but you would hope that Christmas family films like this would be at least tolerable for adults.
The 'flash mob' premise that the film is very shakily built on is also poorly conceived and even more weakly delivered. I would suggest that the film's producers and director did not have the slightest clue what a flash mob is and how ridiculous the conceit of a flash mob competition is. There must be 101 other excuses to have a group of people sing and dance together. I have not a clue why they chose to shoehorn it into that particular 'genre' other than the fact that it is current and must be 'trendy'... meh.
Anyway, to summarise, it was only my annoyance at the misunderstanding and idiocy surrounding flash mobs that served to give me some distraction from the insipid storyline, unconvincingly delivered, by a cast whom you might have expected more from.
