1.0 out of 5 stars too short, too shallow, December 25, 2001

By	Joelene Bergonzi - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a good beginning for a film--in fact, the first screen says "Chapter One." It was an unpleasant surprise to have it abruptly end before anything happened that I could sink my emotional teeth into. THIS FILM IS LESS THAN 30 MINUTES LONG, which was not stated in the descriptions. I wish I could get my money back.

4.0 out of 5 stars An amusing dilema..., September 21, 2001

By	rick stanley (Richmond, Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a really fun film, that has a pretty sharp knack for taking an irreverent, yet at the same time respectful view of religious beliefs. How Mira Sorvino, as a modern-day Virgin Mary, gets pregnant is outrageous in and of itslef, but the angst she goes through afterward leading up to the blessed event is sometimes funny, sometimes sweet and filled with sentiment. It's a low-budget movie (though with stars) and some of the scenes work better than others (the tempo varies) but the jokes and story are good, as is the acting. It's, all in all, a little gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short but very funny film!!!, May 5, 2001

By	Sven Pflamm (Preetz Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Second Greatest Story Ever Told [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A girl uses the public toilet on a fairground. Nothing special? Maybe right..if she wasn't pregnant suddenly. Wondering what happened to her and why, she tries to get along with her life when one night a very funny archangel Gabriel (brilliant: Malcolm McDowell) comes through her window and gives the answers, while joking around what types of girls god prefers. The film is short, but rather funny and I really enjoyed the story. For all those who don't like to read the bible ;)
