Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?! Audience Reviews

Macerat It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Prismark10 Nativity 3 very much scrapes the bottom of the yuletide barrel. Martin Clunes is the new teacher Jeremy Shepherd who along with his daughter Lauren is looking forward to getting married to his fiancée Sophie (Catherine Tate) in New York but he is also wary of her ex boyfriend, a famous singer who plans to do an impromptu flash mob for Sophie.Mr Shepherd has to deal with Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton) the man-child classroom assistant who has recently been sacked by the new temporary head teacher in advance of the school inspection.Mr Shepherd loses his memory after being kicked in the head by a donkey. Mr Poppy plans to take the school kids to New York by winning a flash mob contest in London and also hopes to get Me Shepherd's memory back so he can marry Sophie.I think only the very young would like this dull film. School kids randomly start to sing and dance for no reason. The story is thin and grossly stupid. Mr Poppy should be locked up to protect the children and when the story moves to New York he inexplicably starts to behave like an adult.
zanderwatt-24863 Spoilers.This film was brilliant. I took all my 34 kids to see it, not one of them showed a dislike in the film. The show stopper was when the donkey started to dance. Hahaha,funny. I recommend this film to all families. Hoping for a 4th Nativity.
studioAT The first two Nativity films (especially the first one) have become family favourites,so it is no big surprise to see Debbie Issit trying to wrap up the trilogy with this third enjoyable outing.Either by choice or misfortune the series seems to struggle to keep hold of its leading man with Martin Freeman leaving after the first and David Tennant the second. However, Martin Clunes of Doc Martin fame has made a whole career out of playing frustrated and idiotic men, so seems the perfect choice to take over at the teacher at St Bernadettes this time.As with the first two films it is Marc Wooton who steals the show as Mr Poppy and his performance more than makes up for the plot holes within the piece. It's also nice to see the always funny Catherine Tate appear too.I think sadly though it's a case of third time unlucky for the franchise. The plot is at times verging on ridiculous and there's a shortage of good ideas.If you enjoyed the first two and are in the festive spirit then Nativity 3 is the perfect film for you this Christmas.
carlypi If you have seen Nativity, and Nativity 2, you won't be going into this follow-up movie expecting anything worthy of an Oscar! But what you will be expecting is a movie full of very lighthearted fun, ridiculously silly jokes, and hugely laughable plot-holes, which is exactly what you will get - but that is what makes the Nativity movies so great!With a cast of great British actors (and a donkey), just go into this movie with a giant bag of popcorn and a huge sugary drink and just giggle like a child along to the singing, dancing and our lovable Mr Poppy and get yourself into the Christmas spirit! Well worth a watch if you aren't in the mood for anything serious and want to feel festival, and I promise you will be singing "Dude, Where's My Donkey" for several hours after watching!
