One Night with the King - 2006

One Night with the King is a movie that touches on the Biblical and ends up more fanciful than religious.

The acting was so-so and the script was weak. The story of Esther has been told in different ways...from stick-to-the-Bible accuracy to VeggieTales. This version was pretty far from accurate, but it was a Hollywood take on the story. The scenes were sweeping, but that just couldn't save the script from being poor and the acting from being lame.

One of my biggest frustrations is that people mistake a "good family" movie with a boring movie. And unfortunately I think it's BECAUSE of movies like these. I have seen "The Ten Commandments"...that's an example of an EXCITING family movie. This is just less than enjoyable...which is NO fun for the family.
