A blow to the tummy.Review by Cap, 2010-08-21
Why? Why? Dogmatic God's word is wrong. God said if you add or subtract My words, you lose. Get it?
Story of Ruth
Review by bb23, 2010-08-16
Although this is not an accurate account of the story of Ruth, I like the movie because I am a romantic and I like Stuart Whitman. This is a good movie for entertainment purposes.

Interesting, Fun To Watch, The Names Are The Same, But The Story Is WAY TOO LOOSELY Based On The Bible
Review by Bold Consumer, 2010-04-19
If you are hoping to see the Book of Ruth acted out, as I was, this isn't that. It's interesting, fun to watch, and I enjoyed it.
However, nothing in the scriptures tell us that Ruth was some kind of priestess who led children to be sacrificed before she met Mahlon, Naomi's son. They made it into an exciting "action" movie all to itself, but it had nothing to do with the original story in the Bible.
Personally, I feel that the Biblical story was interesting enough without making it into something entirely different. However, even that can be done badly. I watched another DVD that was probably about as accurate as a movie can be, but they did such a terrible job on that one that they took all the passion out of it. I'll do a review on that one as well.
Maybe someday someone will do this story accurately and well. Until then, we have it as written in the Bible, a beautiful story which is worth reading.
