Lots of language and sexual innuendos mar an otherwise good movie. Even my 11 year old nephew said the dog "humping" the stuffed duck got old and was way over played. This is sad because the movie could have been a nice funny family film. But with all the crude comments and the above mentioned scenes I can not recommend this film especially to anyone under 15 and I would not recommend it for anyone over 60 as I know both sets of parents would be very much put off.

The basic story line of what happens when you become consumed with your job at the expense of the family is a good story and has a lot of merit in its own right. But they really played up the sex and language to the point that many will be offended.

It is not an easy film to watch. It is done well and does show the depth of love God has for us. But for one man to take on the sin of the world it is not a pretty site. The movie is well grounded in scripture and appears to be an accurate portrayal of the last 12 hours of Christ.

Be prepared as you may not sleep well the night you see it and be prepared to be touched deeply.

In seeing the lines of people attending the movie and how well it has done at the box office so far it appears that Hollywood does not have a clue to what people really want to see. This is a powerful story that is well written.

It is not anti-Semitic in my view at all. If anything it is anti-roman as the romans appeared to be the cruelest in the film.

The movie has the potential to be so good with such a positive message. But instead of being uplifting it has a dark and depressing story line. So it continually lifts you up and then drops you down. Because of this seemingly internal struggle I could not rate it any higher.

I took my 12-year-old son at his request to the movie. I would have to say he enjoyed it more than I. It is aimed at juvenile humor and while not bad it has few redeeming qualities. As many such files the kids are very smart and clever while all the adults are totally inept. I will say it did have a good and appropriate ending.

My wife and I could not understand what the fuss was over this film. We were lost as we tried to follow the fragmented plot and gave up after an hour. The end would have to be great to make up for the very slow start.
