Rachel's Man

I felt that this movie was not a good rendition of the story of Jacob. It is definitely not a movie for Bible purest, and the cover of the movie is misleading. The cover for the DVD box is taken from the movie entitled,"Jacob", starring Matthew Modine. I was very disappointed. I would not recommend this movie. November 11, 2002

NOT FOR BIBLE PURESTS-BAD BIBLE MOVIE

DO NOT LET THE PACKAGE FOOL YOU, THIS IS A BAD BIBLE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!! I bought this movie on face value thinking it would at least be a decent retelling of the known biblical story. I was VERY disappointed that liberties were taken in interpretation. Even 'filling in the gaps' with outragous 'dream sequences' and HERETIC scenes. Although it is based on the biblical story it is not for bible purests who are expecting a GOOD rendition of the timeless tale. Save your money, DO NOT buy this movie. The currently offered BIBLE 4 PACK(Ester,Soloman,Jeremiah,Genesis) is great by contrast and would be a better use of your money. I rated this movie 1 star because the system doesn't allow any lower otherwise.... March 19, 2001
