As if the title doesn't already give it away, but this is a terrible film. What a mess. 'Nativity 3: Dude, Where’s My Donkey?!' is like two different films in one, with the first half being overly comedic and the second portion being overly dramatic - it doesn't mesh well at all. The drama towards the end could work on its own, but in this setting it simply doesn't fit - it actually comes across that they think they're creating a masterpiece as it all unfolds. Very odd choice to go that way. Marc Wootton is fairly toned-down in this second sequel, which leaves it feeling flat throughout. Martin Clunes is a new addition, they pretty much make his character a mute so Clunes doesn't even get to show off his acting prowess. The roles, meanwhile, for Catherine Tate and Adam Garcia are kinda pointless. The musical numbers are very lame, especially lyrically. I'm not suggesting they are great in any of the films, but these ones particularly stood out as being poor. The end performance is painful. What a fall from the first film, and even the second. Yet, there is still a fourth installment to watch...
