Godspell

Rating:
Summary: Excellent!
Review: This one's a long time coming, but well worth the wait! Here we have a very colorful and descriptive interpretation of the Gospels presented with drama and songs that will leave you with a strong desire to know Christ in a deeper way. Great lyrics and songs. A must have reflection of the "Jesus people" movement of the 70's!

Summary: More than Excellent!
Review: I first saw this movie many, many years ago, on television and have been searching for the video for about 5 years. Recently saw it on stage. I cannot say enough about the music, the liveliness, and the Message behind it. Thank the Lord for the creativeness of Godspell getting out His Word. Too bad there are only 5 stars for maximum rating!

Summary: Godpell is the greatest!
Review: I must say, I love Godspell! Right now I am in a production of Godspell, and it is the most fun I have ever had! It is free spirited play, you get to be creative, and it gets you in touch with God. Thanx

Summary: Godspell widened my perception of God.
Review: As a 14 year old growing up in a good, but very legalistic (religious) home, when my older brother secretly took me to the movies to see Godspell, the box in which I held the God I adored was broken apart. I saw on that screen a God that I could touch, a God that could touch me, instead of a God that wanted to punish me and keep me from enjoying the life He gave me. I know that it is not award winning material, but I can say that it helped direct my teen-age years, and I never fell into the drugs, sex and alchohol that so many kids did back then. After 20+ years the film still moves me.

Summary: Brought back awesome memories, and touched my heart again
Review: I was in the musical "Godspell" in Fort Devens, Massacusetts in the mid-80's. My solo was "Day by Day." This opportunity the Lord gave me was life-changing for me and many others. I had never seen the movie until a few weeks ago, when I watched it with 2 other "Godspell groupies" from church. Not only is this movie extremely fun and entertaining, but the message of Jesus Christ comes through loud and clear. The role playing of the parables will truly hit home for many. The music and words to the songs are absolutely tremendous! I would love to see Christians in our community perform "Godspell" for the Easter season. My only critiques would be to add a resurrection scene to the end, to change "Let's have some wine!" to "Let's have new wine!", and to have a different character play Judas than John the Baptist. I would love to be in this production once again!

Summary: Great soundtrack, silly but entertaining movie
Review: This movie is not exactly academy award material, but it is very entertaining, even if you are not religious but more so if you are. The story is a hippie-style and mostly lighthearted way to demonstrate the teachings of Christ. And if you like musicals, this one is great!

Summary: It was touching
Review: It was really touching. I almost cried when Jesus died at the end. It is a great Family film, and a movie everyone can relate to, and a funny film that should not be skipped.

Summary: Moving experiance, if your open
Review: I first was exposed to Godspell in a live production at Ford's Theater in 1972. I was deeply moved. When the film version came out, it magnified the first feelings. The movie would never win a "best picture" nomination, however it does a remarkable job of telling an age old story in a refreshing way. It has a way of reaching you emotionally on several differnt levels, joy, humor and compassion for the touching end. "On the Willows" remains one of my favorite parts. It can still raise the hairs on my arms when I hear and see it. I am glad it has been released on video.

Rating:
Summary: slow, not very entertaining, and not worth watching
Review: this film was worst than I ever had thought it would be, I would never buy, let alone watch this film again. Dont waist your money or time on this film, its bad, bad, bad, and thats an understatement.

Summary: A Great Movie!!
Review: A great way to learn about the gospel! David Haskell and Victor Garber are very funny. (My mother says it's very 70's.) From the begining to the end it's full of great music and laughter.
