The Young Messiah

Today I watched nearly one-third of a 2016 movie called "The Young Messiah." It's not nearly as funny as "Young Frankenstein," and why did they cast Sean Bean as Jesus?  Bean is a fine actor, but he's too old to play an eight-year-old Boy. 

In its favor the film has suspense. Will the little Jesus, his parents and cousins make it back to wherever from Egypt? How many birds will He bring back to life? How will it all end? Who knows? I didn't see the conclusion.  Even if I had, I wouldn't give anything away. I hate it when reviewers do that.
