It's been over 20 years since this film was produce with some of Hollywood's great names. I can only imagine their embarrassment (if they are still alive) that it is still being shown anyway. The script is hokey, the performances trite and melodramatic. It is Sunday school religion at its worst -- two dimensional, preachy and poorly representative of the complexities of first century Christianity, Judaism, and the sacred texts of each. To paraphrase something I recently heard, there is nothing wrong with a 5th grade understanding of religion -- if you are in the 5th grade. Adults should demand better of their faith and its representation.
