I think the sad part is that in this case, the movie was produced by Jews from
whom we expect better, so it is in fact a disappointment.  Would you want your
kids to see a movie with erroneous information about the very Torah stories
you are trying to teach them?  Movies and t.v. have a lot of influence on our
kids and they tend to believe what they see...And here in the Bible Belt,
there is SO much misinformation about Judaism that this kind of thing really
touches us off!  I, for one, have buoycotted other movies with
misinformation....
