Though The King of Kings is doing great at the box office, I've seen a number of critics and viewers saying that they have trouble with the unusual concept of Christ's story being framed by a story of Charles Dickens and his son Walter. Of course, the reason is that the film is based on Dickens's book The Life of Our Lord -- although many of us diehard Dickensians would simply argue that Dickens belongs anywhere and everywhere he can get! Still, before I saw the film myself, I wondered how well the two aspects of the story would blend.
