Synopsis
Harvey and Zoey, two tourists travelling through Israel, discover an ancient scroll describing the life of Herschel, the man who was almost Moses. Herschel receives the command from God to free his people from Egyptian slavery, but Moses keeps blundering by and taking all the credit. Several other biblical stories, such as Lot and his wife, David and Goliath, and the miracles of Jesus, are also parodied in this story of the life of a man trying to follow the path to God, but somehow always seeming to lose his way.
Critics' reviews
- "There are a couple of droll sight gags, but nothing can redeem Wholly Moses! from its destiny of eternal mirthlessness."
- "The direction by first-time director Gary Weis is flat, and the script by Guy Thomas is uninspired"
