Product: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Not Appropriate Family Entertainment
Let me start by stating this is perrenial favorite of mine. I've attended several productions of this from Tuacahn to high school productions. My daughters drove me nuts playing the soundtrack. I finally broke down and bought the DVD.Let me also state that we have high Christian standards. This did not meet those standards. My wife and I both flinched several times while viewing this version.Some of the costume are very risque' and some of the behaviors are very inappropriate. The Potipahr's wife scene was just short of brazen nudity and overly sexual.The narrator was not up to the caliber of other performances I've seen and Richard Attenborough did a mediocre job as Jacob. Donny Osmond played Joseph well and continues to deliver the level of vocal performance he was known for in the 70's.I liked the sets and the creativity, although a 'for film' version would have been nice.The sound was poor. We had to adjust it several times during our viewing, especially in the beginning.Minus one star for inappropriate material. Minus one star for poor sound. My wife and I rate this at PG-13, drifting slightly towards R.
