Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

You know - (Being a "non-believer") - I really, really (really) did try to keep an opened mind while watching "Dreamcoat". I really, really did. Really!But, the truth is - I should have known better than to have viewed this utterly self-righteous nonsense and actually expected to be entertained (even marginally) by it.Within less than10 minutes I was already bored-to-tears listening to the trite, tiresome, and easily-forgettable Tim Rice/Andrew Webber songs. I really was.Believe me - When it comes to the likes of religious-themed movie-musicals - "Dreamcoat" was (Indeed) just as insufferably annoying and pretentious as was "Jesus Christ Superstar". (Yet another certified dud)And, finally - Speaking about that "amazing" (?) Technicolour dreamcoat of Joseph's - (More than anything else) - It sure looked like the flaming frock of a dizzy drag queen to me.

i've always felt that music was the best way to proselytize the Christian Bible. rather than seeming scary or intimidating(it sometimes is) music gives it a softer touch and gives it the feel of 'the good book' concept we are taught in Sunday school. you catch more flies with honey...or something like that.that's pretty much what this film is. Sunday school for children. adults can enjoy it's youthful exuberance too, but there is absolutely nothing racy or edgy about it in anyway.one reviewer here, who liked the show, thought the costumes were too revealing for young people. nice she liked the show but...ARE YOU CRAZY?!!! have you ever seen a Ballet? wake up!in Ballet theater the dancers wear tights and often what may seem revealing to anyone that has no culture. the outfits in 'Joseph' are not risqué in any way at all. anyone saying that has obviously never been to any real theater. the Bible does not say Christians should be poorly educated and repressed. i mean really, your lack of culture is showing with that one. this is wonderful wholesome entertainment and should be seen by families at Easter time. great film. GREAT COSTUMES.

When it comes to musicals, I am more of a RENT kind of guy and a FIDDLER ON THE ROOF type of fella. However, this movie DELIVERED THE GOODS. I had always thought this was a 1970s Donny Osmand movie based on how the cover looks. I was WRONG! It is a 1999 movie and is all MUSIC! I liked the way it was based on the story of Joseph and his brothers. The NARRATOR delivered the goods full throttle as well. The songs were catchy and they ELVIS singer was a lot of fun to watch. The movie was very much MUSICAL-ISH and "feel good" ish. However, it was NOT TOO HOKEY where you wanted to just TURN IT OFF. I am glad this movie was suggested to me and I have a great memory of watching it.

Ooh, I've got a brilliant idea: let's cast some of the worst performers ever to star in one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's most (literally) god-awful shows of all time! Apparently, for some sick reason, it worked. Ian McNeice is the only worthy member of this terrible cast. And the songs are horrible. No, Joseph. We won't do what you say. And any dream will not do. Especially in a horribly cheesy show that features a chorus of creepy little children who harmonize against Donny Osmond's dreadful singing. A massively saccharine show that features an Elvis-impersonating Pharaoh and Joan Collins (I'm sorry, why?!) This is undoubtedly Webber's worst score after "Cats" and before "Phantom of the Opera," and with this staging, this untalented direction, and woefully overdone... everything... "Dreamcoat" makes you want to be strangled with that Coat of Many Colors. Victims of stoning have more fun than this.
