The stunning musical numbers and great acting make this a great family movie about family, growth, choices and community. \u00a0Strong values and religious messages are seen throughout the movie but it does not feel preachy or overdone. \u00a0Instead you are left rooting for this family and hoping that they will make it through their differences. \u00a0A great movie for those who love a family story, musicals and believe that miracles can happen.<\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Black-Nativity-Forest-Whitaker\/dp\/B00H4IGZJG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397703916&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=black+nativity\" target=\"_blank\">Black Nativity<\/a> is available in BluRay Combo Pack and DVD from 20th \u00a0Century Fox.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Black\u00a0Nativity Struggling to pay the bills, single mom Naima (Jennifer Hudson) sends her teenage son Langston (Jacob Latimore) to live with his estranged grandparents, Reverend Cornell and Aretha Cobbs (Forest Whitaker and Angela Bassett) in New York City.
