After reviewing "One night with the King"which is the story of Esther I decided to check out the two films actually named Esther and the King.This one released in 2006 and running only 62 minutes is 50/50 at best. Musically its no "Jesus Christ Superstar"also reviewed on this blog.It also is made in a modern times / biblical telling style which I am not really that crazy about.However it is passable considering all the trash out there for parents who want to have a biblical film for young kids to watch without the violence.
So not for me BUT there is a large audience hungering for movies like this so indulge.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.Oh by the way,no mention her name was Hadassah.
When a modern-day girl named Amelia (Lauren Faber) faces a big challenge in her life, her mother (Lori Broadhead) teaches her about the power of fasting by sharing the story of a heroine from the Bible. Esther (Summer Naomi Smart), an orphan raised by a relative named Mordecai (Marvin Payne), is chosen from all the maidens in the land to become queen. While becoming a queen is where most fairy tales end, this is just the beginning of the true story of this courageous woman who must risk her life to save her people from a treacherous plan of the charmingly wicked prince Haman (Jeff Stevens). Through reliving the story of Esther, Amelia gains an understanding of the power of fasting and how it can help her learn courage.
