Me-Ga-Ca-Sh. What? No, No MEGA CASH! What is it going to take to restore Uncle Luigie's good name, MEGA CASH! What is it going to take to save Uncle Luigie's circus. MEGA CASH! When Phillip Urry leaves home to join a small failing circus he ends up trying to get into the act and helps in trying to revive Uncle Luigie's circus and financhial problems. This halirious comedy is based ont the song "Reality" by the Newsboys. For those who know the Newsboys music they can most appreciate this great movie. Even those who don't know them will love the simplistic comedy from the "little people" to the stunt hampsters. This movie is great for all the ages. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good comedy movie and a night of laughter.

This is not a high budget film and probably would not appeal to those who are not familiar with the Newsboys. But if you're a Newsboys fan, this will keep you chuckling throughout the entire video. The humor is dry, full of puns and some slapstick. We have had our video a week and have watched it daily! Very enjoyable. Includes a couple of their music videos, somewhat interwoven in the movie itself. Additional cameo appearances by Mark Lowry, Gary Chapman and Steve Taylor. Worth buying.

If you are a Newsboys fan, you will with out a doubt love this video. The Newsboys continue to show us that you can be a Christian AND have a good time. The Video contains a ton of slap stick humor, but that just fits in every so nicely with these gentlemen from down under. I do hope that we see much more from this great group of guys who truly love the Lord!!

I first saw this movie in may of 1997. Ever since the first time I saw it I was addicted to this movie. It's a great family movie and it's just all around funny. The Newsboys are great in this movie. I love it and I recommend it to everyone!!!

My friend showed my this video back in the day and we laughed so hard at it. We still quote this movie all the time. My favorite scene is where Phil gets a lecture on mean short people taking jobs from the true little people.

I wish the Newsboys would make a new video now that Paul Coleman is with them. He is hilarious.

I love these guys so I enjoy anything associated with them. So funny and with a Christian message that is sweet. I have watched this seven times and will watch it again. Seeing Peter take the pie in the face is precious.

I remember seeing this video back when I was in my Jr. High youth group, about 13 years ago. Back then, it made a slight impact on me as to this day I've remembered some of the more vivid scenes such as human mirror-ball, a gun-shaped cigarette lighter and the proper way to lick whip cream off your face. However, not knowing what or who the Newsboys were back then, I didn't pick up any of the message they were trying to portray.

Now with the tape in my own possession, I watch it again and realise something: I still don't -quite- know the message. I mean, there's the side-story with Phillip 'learning about the prodigal son' and all of that, but that was about the only faith-based bit in the entire video. The rest is just plain silly..and VERY lame. Their humor is very forced. There's a little bit of quirky stuff which made me chuckle, but most of the humor was canned. But if you're a big NB fan, then by all means add it to your collection.

This is the Take Me To Your Leader crew with John James, Peter Furler, Jody Davis (short, bleached hair), Jeff Frankenstein, Duncan Phillips (no mohawk...wow) and Phil "Joel" Urry.

And of course, spoof interviews with different members of the crew and other people I don't know. But all in all, quite entertaining and classic. I wish they'd kept up with this. I bet they could have really done well with the whole youth-group entertainment movie idea.

It was funny and corny at the same time. But was great to see this movie finally!
