Journey to Bethlehem | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

As an earnest faith-based musical, Journey to Bethlehem does what it's supposed to do for its intended audience. Other people might be surprised by the charm and appeal of this pop music version of the Bible's nativity story about Jesus Christ.

It's kind of hair-raising how just tacky this all is.

Stealing the show, of course, is Antonio Banderas – no, really – dialling in a King Herod who could have stepped straight out of Jesus Christ Superstar, blowing the roof off whenever the script lets him.

If you feel the need to watch a faith film, you could do far, far worse than this one, a decently staged musical treatment of the nativity that feels like a Christian version of a live action Disney movie.
