Let me see if I can entice you to go see a film that starts shooting in September called “Sweet Baby Jesus.” Here’s a quick little summary to whet your appetite from MTV :
The story is set in the ‘70s, in the town of Bethlehem… Maryland. One day, a new couple arrives in town: Joseph and his pregnant hippie wife Mary. Naturally, the town comes to think that the Second Coming of the savior is imminent.
Now if that wasn’t enough, here’s ten great reasons that’ll be sure to get you excited enough to drop ten dollars in Hollywood’s lap and some popcorn in your own:
It’s a comedy!!!
It’s from the director who brought you “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.”
Sharon Stone is starring as Mary’s Mother?
It’s from the director who also brought you “Garfield”!!!!
Bette Midler as the Innkeeper anyone?
Pixie Lott, whose claim to fame is the hit single in the UK “Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)” about sneaking out of the house without your parent’s permission is starring as Mary. Maybe she’ll sing a song!
It’s directed by the guy who brought you “Thunderpants” about how “an 11-year-old boy’s amazing ability to break wind leads him first to fame and then to death row, before it helps him to fulfill his ambition of becoming an astronaut.”
Kim Catrall was going to be in it but she dropped out so that’s good news. Think of how bad it could’ve been.
It’s written by the guy who wrote “I Do and I Don’t” which was “an outrageous comedy about a blissfully unaware couple who must endure church-sanctioned marriage counseling before they can tie the knot.” They stumble into a nudist colony, their Catholic counselors are miserable drunks and perverts, and there’s plenty o’ porn jokes. Good times. Good times.
It’s guaranteed to make Christian look like complete idiots and that’s always funny.
So have I convinced you yet? I bet you can’t even wait to see it now. I just hope this puts to rest the belief that Hollywood has no understanding of Christians whatsoever. See ya’ at the movies!

A much better use of your ticket money will probably be the upcoming adaptation of Manalive starring Mark Shea.
Wow. No words…
Speaking of Bill and Ted, this movie is going to be most heinous dudes! If they want to make a contemporary nativity movie, it should include someone encouraging Mary to have an abortion. That might make Christian pro-aborts wake the heck up.
Thanks for the heads up. Not going to see it will also protect you from
the dummies that will be in the theater, their popcorn munching and the sticky floors. Hey—you win all around.
No NO NO, the glass is not half empty, it’s half full. They are the ones who look just like what they portray on the sscreen. Not us. And those who pay the money and “think” they have a handle on what is realyy going on reallly need our prayers more so that the fools who made the movie and starred in it to begin with. So see, the glass really is half full. full of life. HIs LIfe. Thank be to God
thanks be to God, indeed - I don’t have a clue who ANY of these people are and I’ve never even HEARD of most of those movies. Don’t move to Walden Pond - turn off the TV and READ A BOOK. it will simplify your life and clarify your thinking.
I certainly don’t want to see it; it sounds like blasphemy to me. It hurts to say it as well because I happen to be a fan of some of the work of those people involved.
Sarcastic Christian Bloggers. How Christ-like is that?
conservatives. you miss the point. you do not argue and hate and act as they do. we live our Gospel. Just because they portray Jesus in some perverted way, with a supporting cast does not mean we lower ourselves to their level and “act” as they do. When will we ever learn.
