Very disappointing...

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Well, well, well! Goodness gracious! I think I watched this 12 or 13 years ago! Wow, it's funny that I should run across it now while searching Orson Scott Card's writing credits (he has one on this film).What can I say about this movie? I watched it forever ago. I don't remember what the movie was like. All I remember, though, was that I really liked it when I watched it because I liked feeling sad for the man who got hurt on the way to Jerusalem. Even back then as a six-year-old I liked the really sad films! Can I recommend this film to you? I have no idea. I seemed to like it as a kid, though I never watched it more than once and I didn't dwell on it. But I have no idea about its cinematic merits. Maybe your kids will like it, maybe they won't. To be honest, I'm writing this review merely because I love myself a trip down memory lane.
