One Night with the King Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Jane Boursaw
Brave heroine risks it all in biblical epic.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The performances are all solid, although the screenplay frequently bogs down with the complexity of palace intrigues and plots that could have been rendered more consumer-friendly.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Dave Tianen
While Dupont is lovely and sweet, the script leaves her motivations largely open and she's not enough of an actress to fill in the blanks.
Boxoffice Magazine
Wade Major
It's that slavish refusal to detour from the most conservative possible interpretation of such events that ultimately makes One Night With the King little more than a dolled-up, oversimplified sermon.
Sacramento News & Review
Jim Lane
...visually lavish but dramatically clumsy.
Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Linda Cook
Don't Christians deserve quality? Of course...but they won't find it here.
Entertainment Insiders
Eric Lurio
This is one of those religious epics that looks like a religious epic, which is fine as far as it goes, but misses the mark because it doesn't manage to translate the feel of the original to the screen.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
Director Michael O. Sajbel can't rein in the story convolutions or the pompous dialogue of Stephan Blinn's script.
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
Why another version of this oft-filmed tale?
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
The movie devolves into a talky, static affair featuring a cast with wildly varying accents and acting abilities.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The cast is uneven but never amateurish -- Goss may not be much of an actor, but he looks terrific in various states of royal undress; much the same could be said of Yul Brynner -- and the production values are consistently high.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The cinematography and sets look great, but the script is a bummer. It's overlong, overwrought and overblown.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
In itself, it's a riveting story. Unfortunately, director Michael Sajbel has envisioned an overwrought Lifetime movie of the week, complete with an Esther who could be a cast member of Laguna Beach and a king notable only for his washboard abs.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Distinctly made-for-TV vibe [despite] visual spectacle and a distinguished supporting cast.
Christianity Today
Russ Breimeier
A tighter script could have made this a classic Bible epic.
Las Vegas Weekly
Josh Bell
Dear Lord, why must Your most ardent followers unleash such bad movies in Your name?
L.A. Weekly
Scott Foundas
Plods across the screen with the thudding portent of an earnest Sunday-school lesson.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Blessed with abundant production values and a minimum of campy excess, One Night With the King is a surprisingly satisfying attempt to revive the Old Hollywood tradition of lavishly appointed Biblical epics aimed at mainstream auds.
