Plot

Nativity 3: Dude, Where’s my donkey is the final part in the trilogy written and directed by Debbie Isitt. The lead role has been once again replaced from David Tennant Loved and appreciated worldwide for his role as th >> Read More... in Nativity 2 to Martin Clunes.

He plays the role of the new school teacher who’s been appointed to set the school back in shape. The teacher, Mr. Shepherd, has a six-year-old daughter named Lauren, and both of them enter the school.

No later than his first day, Mr. Shepherd gets kicked by the school mascot, Archie the donkey, and suffers from amnesia. Due to his loss of memory, he forgets everything and everyone including his daughter and his fiancee,

The story shapes up as the kids, and Poppy try to help Mr. Shepherd to regain his memory and remember what Christmas is all about.

They then set out to New York to find the donkey, win a flash mob competition and to attend the wedding of their teacher! As the story proceeds, the kids learn various lessons including generosity when they, at last, find the missing donkey.

The movie climaxes as any other Christmas movie, they realize the meaning of Christmas and live happily ever after.

Analysis

Needless to say, the story is a drag and makes no sense as the two-hour film finally comes to an end. The spark of Christmas is lost as the characters don’t get the difference between excitement and stupidity.

The intention of being a kid’s movie gets lost as the entire storyline get revolved between idiotic adults. The writer/director Debbie Isitt lost her flair for a fun-family entertainer that she had for the first two movies.

Though there are some sparkling moments in bits and pieces of the movie, the entire story has no logic, and a few can go to sleep before the movie is, at least, half done.

What’s there:

1. A boring 2-hour long movie

2. Sudden bursts of melodious songs for no apparent reason

3. Sad narratives

What’s not there:

1. Christmas magic 2. A fun-filled family movie

Verdict:

Put a full stop at Nativity 2. Unless you have a lot of time and patience, stay far far away from the movie.
