Ernesto Rodriguez I too sat down with my children to watch this movie some time ago. Usually we have a hard time finding movies we can watch together as a family, especially since they're at the tender ages of 19 and 21. I was appalled at the kissing. My 19 year old was especially upset. He became agitated and eventually began crying. We had to stop the movie to bring him to talk to our pastor who was able to calm him down. Our pastor thought it would be a good idea to try and continue watching the movie, not for enjoyment, but so that our children would get an idea of the evils they will be confronted with in this world. After all, their mother and I won't always be able to chaperon when they go on dates with members of the opposite sex, despite how much we'd like to. After kneeling in our prayer room together and praying, we started the movie again. To make a long story short, when it was over, my wife suggested we burn the DVD as we prayed over it. I, as the father of the house, decided it would be best to also burn our DVD player, as I didn't want any residual impurity lingering in the damned contraption. In order for it to really burn, I had to pour some gasoline on it. The fire got out of control and spread to the rest of the house from the prayer room. We are now living at a shelter where my daughter met an older man (who apparently used to sing in a rock band and does not go to church regularly). She started seeing this man behind our backs until we learned that she and my wife have both become impregnated by him. And it is all due to this movie. If you ask me, I believe that the level of sin in the movie is really what drove these events. By bringing this movie into our home, we invited evil itself into our lives. Watch at your own risk.

nannyjo This movie was perfect to show to my "tweens" Sunday school class. It isn't always easy finding real life movies where teenagers talk about church and faith. Don't get me wrong, Veggie Tales are great for younger kids and even fun for teens once in a while. As a Sunday School teacher, though, I like to show movies that show people talking about faith and not just shows with asparagus talking about God (sorry Junior!) No, it isn't a high budget production but it does get the spiritual message across. The class loved the dancing and singing and, even though the acting won't win any Oscars anytime soon, they didn't seem to notice or care. They just tapped and snapped along with the music.The film does itself a huge disservice with the title and the box cover picture that they chose. They opened themselves up to an automatic comparison to a high budget "tween" classic. Unfortunately, in that comparison, "Sunday School Musical" will not fare well. Standing on its own, however, it is a fun, meaningful movie with a good message: by believing and working together good things can happen. I guess it all depends what you were expecting. For me, this film was just what I needed.

rusbc_1 Its a good laugh if you can appreciate it for what it is - total crap. The camera work is shocking, the sound quality is poor. It involves a lot of embarrassing scenes where the kids burst into songs that are entirely forgettable. But if you can appreciate that this movie is NOTHING like the real HSM, you can enjoy this classic piece of cinematography. After all, High School Musical was pretty bad anyway. When I think of this film, I imagine some poor child going to the video store to hire a kids movie and his/her's mother picks up this piece of garbage thinking that it will be a good religious movie with family values. I think of the poor kid going home to watch this piece of trash and it makes me a little bit sad. That kid will be sorely disappointed. Anyway, in summation. Not. good.

Chris Mackey (guestar57) Sunday SCHOOL MUSICAL Written & Directed By: Rachel Goldenberg. Starring : Candise Lakota Get past the title, And the doors it opened ! This is a very well done musical with no low points like cussing or bad clothes worn by teenagers to sell it to an easy market. The music is very strong, Dance numbers well choreographed. The screenplay and direction were done by a first timer, But couldn't tell by results. Two choirs have challenges and by joining the strengths and weaknesses equal out. A moment by outside characters, That was definitely un-Christian resolves into a happy ending.
