Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Great Movie
I bought this to replace the old VHS tape that had deteriorated beyond repair. It filled the bill nicely. I have had no problems with the sound that some other reviewers have noted. Mine played fine through my home theater system.As far as content, it's a movie adaptation of a theatrical production. That means it's not going to be exactly like the stage version. In fact, in viewing the "bonus content", it appears that parts can be swapped or omitted to suit the needs of the actors or audience when put on by a school or amature acting company. Kind of like Handel's "The Messiah".Is it a true representation of the Joseph story from the Bible? No. Does it change the plot in several ways? Yes. Is it a worthwhile production? Yes. It is fun and mostly maintains the essential themes from the Bible story. We have enjoyed this movie for a long time and would still recommend it. I give it 4 stars because in my opinion there is no such thing as a perfect 5 star movie.
