Great family film This movie was entertaining without nudity or off color language. It was great for family night.
Walking Across Egypt I first saw this movie on Lifetime under the title "Leading With Her Heart". It took some time for me to find it under the original name; but the search was important to me. I purchased three DVDs...one each for both of my daughters (who had never seen it) and one for myself. I loaned my copy to a friend who raved about it; but never returned it to me. So, I came back to buy another. This time I refuse to loan it out!!
A movie with so much heart. It's one I've watched over and over again...and I never grow tired of it.
Walking Across Egypt I was really looking forward to watching this movie after reading the book. The book is absolutely wonderful. The movie came across to me as slow and not near as entertaining as the book at all. I would reccommend it if you haven't read the book, but if you have, you may be disappointed witht the quality of the movie.
Best Movie Ever I saw this movie on a cable network one day and fell in love with it. I ordered it and have just about worn it out watching it myself and showing to all my friends. Never before have I watched a movie that will make me laugh one minute and cry the next. Why in the world this movie wasn't released to the big screen remains a mystery to me. I would like to see a Part 2 of Walking Across Egypt.
WALKING ACROSS EGYPT GREAT FAMILY FILM I had not planned to watch this movie (never heard of it, I guess it went directly to video) but a co-worker just kept INSISTING. To shut her up, I took it home from the library expecting to do a lot of fast-forwarding. Surprise! It is a wonderful .. WONDERFUL movie. I can't say enough good things about it. A total delight. Great acting. Great story. Great moral. I ended up buying a copy for myself and have watched it several times.
