My whole family enjoyed the movie!
The music was powerful and moving. The comedy was well timed and gave the movie a good flow.
I viewed Mary's character as being a strong and intelligent woman who obeyed her earthly and Heavenly Father in-spite of having goals and dreams of her own. I like that the mother of Jesus wasn't portrayed as weak. She would need strength to face all of the circumstances we read about in the Bible. It did a good job bringing light to the struggles that Mary and Joseph would have had to deal with because of the customs and politics of the time (like arranged marriage). This allowed for good conversation with my kids.
The ending was reverent, powerful, and uplifting.
It's my new favorite Christmas movie. If you're on the fence definitely go see it.
