Wordiezett So much average

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

zkonedog Though usually seen as a play, this version of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" allows you to experience the magic of the performance right in your home. While nothing is quite like experiencing the phenomenon live, this production is excellent in its own right.For a basic plot summary, "Dreamcoat" follows the biblical story of Joseph (played by Donny Osmond), the youngest of the 12 sons of Jacob. Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob, is betrayed by his jealous brothers and sold into Egyptian slavery as a young man. After languishing in prison for years in the Pharaoh's palace, Joseph is called into duty due to an incredible God-given talent for dream interpretation.There are two reasons why this production (in all its shapes and forms) has stood the test of time:1. The music is absolutely timeless. It pulls from all genres (ballads, rock-and-roll, country, etc.) and has something for everybody. The kids will love the silliness, while the adults will appreciate the vigor to which the actors approach their roles.2. The story is also one-of-a-kind. Whether you are a biblical scholar or not, this story can resonate with any of the classic tales ever told. It contains such seminal themes as betrayal, family dynamics, jealousy, repentance, and redemption.Overall, "Joseph" is just a really fun experience for all involved. I can't really imagine anyone walking away from it severely disappointed.

Irishchatter I swear to god, I have never in me life ever seen this musical film before. I was only a toddler in 1999 and no one ever mentioned this to me until back in 2013, I was in Lourdes and we were singing away at the songs. Although I hadn't a clue how to sing the lyrics as I haven't heard of the musical before. At the age of 21 in the present, I decided to give this one a definite watch!By jingo, I was in for a brilliant ride of the songs. Even though there was so many to sing away at, I very much enjoyed throughout! The songs were catchy, Donny Osmond was attractive and of course, the dancing was literally just amazing! They must've done a lot of practices to get all the moves right! I honestly wish they were able to put this on cinemas instead of being straight onto video because it just is so Fantastic that everyone in the whole world would watch it! I don't think in the future that another movie adaption would be successful as this, it would honestly ruin t it! I honestly would love to give this more than a 10, I have no other words to describe it, it is specular!

irishm I had never heard of this show 20-some years ago when I went with friends to see a local amateur production because their son played one of the brothers. The witty lyrics, the catchy tunes, the sheer creativity of throwing all those different musical styles together in the same show… wow. I went right out and bought the soundtrack.Then I saw this version in the TV listings and my first thought was: oh no, NOT Donny Osmond. Well, I'm still not a fan of his, really, but I thought he was absolutely perfect as Joseph. In fact, I'm not an Andrew Lloyd Webber devotee either, but that doesn't stop me from loving this show. The whole thing was fabulous, all of the casting choices (with the exception of Joan Collins… ugh) were perfect, and it's so entertaining I've probably seen it 20 times. I even recommended it to my elderly father, who is religious enough to require kind of a heads-up disclaimer for something like this that treats a Bible story with less than straight- faced reverence… he enjoyed it so much he bought the DVD.Highly recommend, but if you have little kids you might want to preview it to make sure the costumes are something you're okay with… some of them are a bit skimpy, but being child-free myself it wasn't a concern.

Joc Seip Excellent movie! I'm 14 and hadn't seen it, i got it out one day and watched it, and loved it! Donny Osmond and Maria Friedman are perfect! they perform it so well! my personal favorite song is the coat of many colors! the singing is perfect (did you know that maria Friedman was reading the colors off a sheet) and my other favorite is the Pharaoh's song the brother and Jacob are wicked! great movie, great costumes, great props, great scenery!..i recommend it to everyone who likes Andrew Lloyd Webber's works such as Cats, Evita, Jesus Christ superstar and Phantom of the Opera! even kids will love it!!*****/5 stars!
