It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Asylum have definitely done much worse than Sunday School Musical, that's saying little though because Sunday School Musical didn't work for this viewer. There are some redeeming value, Chris Chatman was likable as Zachary and had a great voice, the ending song was at least catchy and the best lyrics in the movie were in this song and the dance in the boy's bathroom is the most creative Sunday School Musical gets. The photography and camera work are pretty awful to say the least(like bad horror movie standard), to the extent you question whether there was a photographer at all. And it disallowed me to remotely enjoy the rest of the production values, which weren't that special actually to begin with. The songs are unmemorable with generic melodies and tired lyric writing, and the mostly tuneless singing and choreography that shows next to no passion don't help. The writing has cheesiness all over it, the spirituality and faith angles were good ideas but explored with the utmost banality. That the story is predictable is somewhat predictable, that it has no energy, real fun or passion isn't. The characters infuriate in how they behave and how they act towards one another, shallow is the best way to describe them, while apart from Chatman the acting is very poor, Candice Lakota has a decent voice but is a vapid actress. Overall, not terrible but at best lacklustre. 3/10 Bethany Cox

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.

My family has bought a lot of Christian DVD's recently. I, personally bought one which was a Filipino Christian movie. It was really worth the price so I decided to look for another. As I was browsing along the store, I saw this and it cost 250 Php. Thank God I only got 200 during the moment.When I finally got home I looked at this page and found too many negative feedback about the film. Because of them, I decided to download an illegal copy first, not to watch it but just to preview it. I do not support piracy.About the film, I had my left eyebrow raised the whole time. As I move the slider, there's always an awkward scene. The cinematography, the acting, the music, the projection, the choreography, the dialogue... It isn't cheesy...not even cool. It sucks, to be honest. As a fan of both modern and classic musicals, I can say so.I think the director is good. So are the actors, the song writers, and everyone who made this film although it made me feel like I was watching a movie I made for a school project. They need more training and everything. They can be better. I believe this isn't their best yet.I'm still looking forward to future projects of Faith Films even though this was a big disappointment... I'm just going to buy To Save A Life when it's out in my country rather than this.

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.
