Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
entertaining but not perfect
The Highs:+ Donny Osmond is the quintessential Joseph - great pipes, perfectly cast.+ Robert Torti steals the show with his hysterical rendition of Pharaoh/Elvis - wow.+ Gerry McIntyre in Calypso scene is a delight.+ Hoe-down dancing scene is full of energy.+ Sets preserve the stage feel of a movie production.The Lows:- Inconsistent sound quality.- Richard Attenborough is a great actor - not a great singer.- Maria Friedman has sparkle as the narrator, but her singing voice doesn't seem up to the task.- PG costumes (Mrs Potiphar seduction especially) make this movie not-so-kid-friendly.- Inappropriate scenes (the Apache dancer was great, but was it really necessary for her to seduce Jacob at the end?).
