Educational Value

The movie is educational in mostly faith-based ways, retelling the story of the Nativity. In secular ways, the movie shows aspects of the historical era, including Herod's reign, how people of the time dressed and lived.

Positive Messages

The movie's messages are rooted in Christian faith and are mostly about believing in and following God's plan and focusing on the Nativity story and Jesus' birth as the reason to celebrate Christmas. There are also general themes about compassion, empathy, teamwork, and perseverance.

Positive Role Models

Mary is brave, compassionate, and willing to have faith in God and her pregnancy. Joseph is understandably conflicted about the news of Mary's pregnancy but is ultimately faithful to her, their engagement, and his place by her side. The three wise men come from different places and backgrounds but work together to follow the star to Bethlehem. The Romans and Rome-supported Herod are represented as a negative force.

Diverse Representations

Ancient Middle Eastern people are portrayed mostly by White European and American actors. Only a few characters are played by people of color: two of the wise men and one of Mary's sisters. Mary and other women (her sisters, mother, cousin Elizabeth) all have more agency and opinions than is usually shown in depictions of women from the ancient era.

Did we miss something on diversity? Suggest an update.

Violence & Scariness

King Herod is a murderous leader who orders a strict census, has people arrested and tortured, and threatens others with weapons (blades, swords). Herod orders his son to find and eliminate the unwed pregnant woman carrying the prophesied baby (even if that means killing every pregnant woman and newborn in Bethlehem). Herod's soldiers are about to arrest Mary and Joseph (and baby Jesus) until Antipater protects them. Joseph and Mary must hide under the hay of a barn. Joseph's conflict about what to do about his possible marriage is represented by a vision of two versions of him who fight each other. The donkey pushes a couple of people out of Mary's way. A woman humorously slaps a man with a bouquet of flowers.

Sex, Romance & Nudity

Joseph and Mary hold hands, embrace, kiss on the cheek, and, in one scene, briefly kiss on the lips. Flirting. Oblique references to virginity and what it means if Mary is "with child" out of wedlock and lying about the circumstances. Both Mary and Joseph's families feel worried, shamed, and distrustful at first after Mary's news.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking

Herod drinks wine. The wise men recommend that frankincense or myrrh can help alleviate his headaches/insomnia.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Journey to Bethlehem is a musical retelling of the biblical story of Jesus' birth. Combining classic Christmas songs and original modern pop fare, the film weaves together the perspectives of brave young Mary (Fiona Palomo); her compassionate betrothed, Joseph ( Milo Manheim ); the jealous and vindictive King Herod ( Antonio Banderas ); and Herod's conflicted son, Antipater (Joel Smallbone). There's some peril and violence, as well as brief moments of shame, betrayal, and confusion over Mary's pregnancy. Joseph and Mary flirt, hold hands, embrace, kiss on the cheek, and, in one scene, briefly kiss on the lips. In one musical number, two versions of Joseph fight each other. Herod instructs his son to track down all the pregnant women and newborn babies in Bethlehem and kill them if he can't find the prophesied future king. Herod's soldiers threaten and arrest citizens, and he's known to torture them. The king also drinks wine, and there's a jokey reference to a donkey's other name ("ass"). While the movie has themes of compassion, empathy, teamwork, and perseverance, it falls a bit short on the representation front, with ancient Middle Eastern people largely portrayed by White European and American actors.

God Will Not Be Mocked!

Offensive to catholics, what's the story.

JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM is a musical that tells the story of teen Nazarene Mary (Fiona Palomo), whose family informs her that she's been betrothed. Before she meets her intended, she crosses paths and flirts with a young man in the market. He turns out to be Joseph ( Milo Manheim ), the man to whom she's been engaged. But before their wedding, Mary is visited by the angel Gabriel (Lacrea), who informs her that she's been blessed with a miraculous pregnancy and that her unborn child will be the son of God. Naturally, this causes a stir, as Joseph must decide whether to continue with the marriage plans or shun her. Meanwhile, King Herod ( Antonio Banderas ), spurred by visions and news from the three wise men -- Melchior (Omid Djalili), Gaspar ( Rizwan Manji ), and Balthazar (Geno Segers) -- in search of a baby who will become king of the Jews, decides to take a census to find any pregnant woman or newborn boy who might threaten his reign. Herod commands his son, Antipater (Joel Smallbone), to track down the mystery mother and newborn. As a pregnant Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for the census, they face obstacles but are secure in the miracle that's about to unfold.

Is It Any Good?

This is a heartfelt, charming musical twist on the classic nativity story. Director/co-writer Adam Anders ( Glee , Rock of Ages ) blends traditional Christmas music (like "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel") with new songs to retell the familiar story of the Nativity. The result is part coming-of-age tale (Mary and Joseph), part comedic buddy road trip (the three wise men), and part dynastic family drama (King Herod and Antipater). Palomo and Manheim are dynamic young performers, and Banderas' scenery-chewing portrayal is outsized but manages not to tip too far into camp. Contemporary Christian singer Smallbone is also notable as Antipater, and the three wise men are useful comic relief amid the otherwise more serious proceedings. The ensemble also includes other Christian singers, including Moriah (who's also Smallbone's wife) and Grammy-winning rapper Lacrea, who stands out as the angel Gabriel. There's even a trusty donkey named Fig that doesn't speak but is sure to delight younger viewers.

The musical works well as a pop counterpoint to the rock-opera musical Jesus Christ Superstar , which focuses on Jesus' ministry and death. The songs are earnest and catchy, ranging from upbeat to pensive to funny. And renowned Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman teamed up with We the Kingdom for the end-credits song, "Brand New Life." But this isn't just for families of faith: Journey to Bethlehem is a surprisingly effective musical that should appeal to all families who appreciate holiday movies.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about Journey to Bethlehem and how the movie's musical elements are used to present the Nativity story. Can you think of other musicals that deal with Bible stories?

How does viewing the story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus' birth through music impact your connection to the story?

How realistic do you think the movie's portrayal of biblical times is? Which performance(s) stood out most?

Mary, Joseph, Herod, and Antipater each have moments of self-reflection. What do they each learn about themselves, and how do they respond to the extraordinary circumstances they're in?

Do you think this movie is aimed only at Christians, or can other audiences still enjoy the film? Why, or why not?

The guide to our grades, parent movie review by kirsten hawkes.

The promotional poster for Journey to Bethlehem boasts the tagline “The Greatest Story Ever Comes Alive!” In this, the studio is uncharacteristically restrained. For there isn’t just one story here; there are several and they are all at odds with the Biblical account, and often with each other.

At the center of the film is Mary (Fiona Palomo), a young woman trapped by the social conventions of her time and betrothed against her will to Joseph (Milo Manheim). The couple find themselves in a standard rom-com with a meet-cute, some squabbling, and a firefly-illuminated scene where they fall in love. The romance hits the rocks when a blinged-up angel Gabriel (Lecrae) appears to Mary (in a process reminiscent of a glittery Star Trek transporter) and informs her that she will miraculously give birth to the Son of God. The dialogue is non-canonical, but it gets the message across. Also non-scriptural is Joseph’s response to the situation. Instead of being reassured by an angel and urged to marry his fiancée, Joseph has a dream in which two versions of himself engage in Ninja-style combat over whether or not to remain betrothed. Any guesses as to which way this goes?

As for the three kings, they are wandering about in a clumsy comedy, populated by stock characters and bad jokes. There’s vague muttering about reading the stars, a fair bit of travel-by-map, some whining about camels, and quite a bit of confused gift-giving. The men are supposed to be Magi – wise men from afar – but there’s precious little wisdom to be found and not much sense either.

Competing with the tonal chaos of the film is its soundtrack . Considering that Christmas is the inspiration for some of the most beautiful music in the Western world, it’s astounding that the music in this film is so bad. It starts off well, with a haunting introduction to “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and then deteriorates rapidly to the adolescent angst of “Mary’s Getting Married”. When the lyrics aren’t grossly twisting the Lord’s Prayer or Handel’s Messiah, they are serving up bad rhymes and extended exposition.

I’m not complaining about this movie because I have an anti-Christian agenda. To the contrary, I am a Bible-reading Sunday School teacher who cherishes the accounts of Christ’s birth found in the gospels of Luke and Matthew. I am frustrated with this film because it turns a story of wonder and reverence into a bad musical comedy that makes a hash of the scriptural record. Instead of leaving viewers gratefully pondering the love of God, this is a film that simply offers questions like “Why does Herod have a Spanish accent while his son has an English accent?”, “Why is Mary wearing a fur-trimmed hood that looks like it came from Doctor Zhivago?”, “Are we supposed to believe that Mary has a guard donkey?” and “Who on earth thinks that it really snowed when Jesus was born?” Rather than being a heartwarming gift for seasonal moviegoers, Journey to Bethlehem feels like the lump of coal in our cinematic stocking.

Journey to Bethlehem Parents' Guide

Is the Christmas story meaningful to you? Why or why not? What’s the source of your religious opinions? Do you have a family religious tradition? Are you committed to it?

Loved this movie? Try these books…

You can read the Biblical accounts of Jesus’ birth here .

There are an extraordinary number of beautiful books to help children understand the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. For very young children, we recommend Christmas in the Manger. This tactile board book is written by Nola Buck and illustrated by Felicia Bond.

Also well suited for small children with busy fingers is Joey Chou’s Make & Play Nativity. This “book” features a punch-out cardboard nativity that kids can make, play with, and display with no risk of destroying a precious family heirloom.

If you’re looking for picture books, we suggest Who Is Coming to Our House? Told from the perspective of the animals in the stable, this book is written by Joseph Slate and illustrated by Ashley Wolff. Room for a Little One takes a similar approach and is written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Jason Cockroft. Who Was Born This Special Day? is in a similar vein, but Leonid Gore’s luminous illustrations pair nicely with Eve Bunting’s gentle prose.

Newberry-award-winning author Katherine Paterson writes a rich, poetic text from Mary’s perspective in her book, The Night of His Birth, which is illustrated by Lisa Aisato.

Written by Anne Booth and illustrated by Sam Usher, Refuge tells a part of the story not often covered in kids’ books – the flight to Egypt in search of safety from Herod’s murderous plots.

The Magi get their turn in Tomie dePaola’s colorfully illustrated Story of the Three Wise Kings.

The rhyme of the familiar Santa story is recast with a nativity focus in ‘Twas the Evening of Christmas. It's written by Glenys Nellist and illustrated by Elena Selivanova.

If pop-up books are beloved by your kids (as they are by ours), you can get their attention with The Nativity. Author and illustrator Francesca Crespi provides six gilded pop-up scenes to tell the story in three dimensions.

Older readers who cherish the rich legacy of Christmas art will appreciate The Christmas Story, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Featuring centuries of classic paintings, this book is a cultural touchstone with centuries of devotion behind it.

Related home video titles:

For a dramatic retelling of the accounts of Jesus’ birth (without the song-and-dance numbers), the whole family can watch The Nativity Story .

Geared to young viewers, The Star offers an animated account of the nativity, told from the perspective of the donkey. (This donkey also takes center stage in Disney’s 1978 animated short The Small One. ) The crew from Veggie Tales do their manic best to share the reason for the season in The Star of Christmas . A Charlie Brown Christmas shows the titular hero rediscovering the holiday’s message amidst the festive chaos.

  • Sony Pictures Releasing

Summary A young woman carrying an unimaginable responsibility. A young man torn between love and honor. A jealous king who will stop at nothing to keep his crown. A live-action Christmas musical adventure for the entire family.
