Title: A Jesus you'd want for your friend
Review: This was a Jesus that could actually be your friend and someone you would not be afraid to talk to or follow. Too many times in previous adaptions, Jesus seems cold, distant and speaking Gospel verse verbatim and I would find it hard to connect with Him on a personal level and wondered how the Apostles felt. But I was able to feel Jesus' frustration and sadness when he was pleading with God to raise Joseph because I too have lost my father, and I could empathize with his feelings. Wonderfully acted, I felt that some of the "personal" touch was lost in the second 2 hours and I wished that it was longer so we could see some more "in-between" moments. It inspired me to read the Bible in a whole new light. It had it's bizarre moments, such as the Temptation in the Desert, but overall a very enjoyable story.
