They seem fun. I probably wouldn't let my ten-year old watch it, but I might take a gander. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for joining the blogathon, Quiggy! Great review, too.Rebecca Denistonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505297430024467869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-80416424812924017622018-06-02T14:11:28.674-05:002018-06-02T14:11:28.674-05:00I'm of a mind that you can't be on either ...I'm of a mind that you can't be on either of the extremes (evangelical Christian or rabidly anti-Christian) to really enjoy it, for what its worth. I have a rather eclectic bent on just about everything including religion, so it was an OK flick for me. Not one I'd praise to the rafters, but not one I'd discard outright either.

Meant to delve more into the hippie Christian movement that spawned it but time crept up on me. thanks for reading.Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-79848406273006244232018-06-02T14:06:04.172-05:002018-06-02T14:06:04.172-05:00I've never seen the book.

And the empty streets of New York are too distracting. I knew people who said it was the Best Movie Ever, and I had high hopes which were not realized.<br /><br />However, now that I've read your review, I think I might give this another shot, and cut it more slack.

I liked it then, and thought Jesus wearing a Superman shirt was cool. I wonder if Mork from Ork based his big-hair and suspenders look on Garber's Jesus?<br /><br />I remember being taken aback by its ending without a resurrection. How can you leave that out? <br /><br />"Day by Day" is a great song, and I remember also enjoying "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," which starts out slow and really picks up speed and adds voices to become a rousing number. I'm gonna look it up on YouTube now--haven't heard it in years! Thanks again for the memories!<br />Gary R.

I like its energy.<br /><br />Have you read Martin Short's "I Must Say: My Life as a Comedy Legend"? He writes about the 1972 Toronto production of Godspell. It was his first big job, along with Victor Garber, Gilda Radner, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas and Eugene Levy. Paul Shaffer was the music director. The play certainly was a great launching pad for them, and probably many others.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
