This version of Joseph is fantastic...if you're a Donny Osmond fan. Which is why I watched it in the first place. Otherwise I think it's a disappointing version of an excellent Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice masterpiece. The storyline sticks to the original well known story, with a host of wellknown songs, which in my opinion are well orchestrated and sung by the cast. The sets are cheap and flimsy, and although this is intentional, it didn't add anything to my enjoyment of the film. The humerous parts I didn't find terribly funny, although the Pharoah did have me chuckling! The cast fit the parts well, and there isn't a bad performance amongst them, but although I adore Donny, I didn't think he was great in ths role. I think that the songs save this from being a dire tragedy. Having seen the show in local theatres and the West End, I guess this was always going to be a disappointment for me. The music definitely saved this film from being a waste of my time. A film to rent if you're a Donny fan, but I wouldn't recommend buying it.
