The moving biblical tale of Esther--a humble Jewish girl who saved her people from annihilation and won the heart of the handsome Persian king Xerxes--is the subject of One Night with the King, a lush ode to one of the Old Testament's most inspiring women. Esther, played with spark and confidence by Tiffany Dupont, could perhaps be said to be the first career woman to "have it all"--while also serving her people, and God. The film, shot on location in India, has the feel of the great epics of the '60s--a sensation underscored by the appearance, in small but pivotal roles, of both Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole. (Even Raiders of the Lost Ark's John Rhys-Davies--"Bad dates!"--echoes earlier desert adventures.) But the film belongs to the willful Esther, who navigates among war, bloodlust, persecution, and terror with the strength of knowing she's serving the Lord, and her people. If the film has a few anachronisms--including the young Esther's suitor, who has blonde streaks and a surfer-dude delivery ("The market was rilly busy today")--its heart and its focus never waver. Fans of biblical tales and well-made drama for the entire family shouldn't miss it. --A.T. Hurley

 Great movie! December 2, 2008
One Night with the King is a fabulous theatrical presentation of the story of Esther. Although some "creative liberties" were taken in the making of the movie, the core of the story follows the true Biblical version quite well. An excellent pick for a night with the girls. You won't be disappointed.

I never received my DVD from the seller. They did not answer most of my requests for information, and did not offer me a refund. I'm not happy :-(.

This movie was one of the best movies I've seen this year. The Product was delivered way before the time it was supposed to be shipped. No problems with the product at all.
 Nice... But Nothing Compared To The Novel October 8, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I saw this movie in the theaters. I was drawn to it because I had fallen completely inlove with the book.
The movie was hardly anthing like the book itself. It even added a little 'magic' in the film when only those who had God could see the stars that Esther's necklace gave out.
Perhaps if I had not read the novel, and was moved my 'enchantment' in a 'non-enchantment' movie, I would have liked it.
That is truthfully all that was wrong in my eyes: Hardly anything like the book, and no part of 'fantasy' belonged in this kind of story.
If you haven't read the book, I will admit that you will probably enjoy the movie. If you are fan of the book, the movie just kills it to me!
Beautiful Movie October 7, 2008
I have to admit I had to watch this movie no less than 3 times before it grew on me. Like so many people, I had a problem with it's lack of biblical accuracy. Eventually, I came to love this movie despite its flaws. It's now one of my favorite biblical movies and reminds me of the best biblical movie of all times, Cecil B. DeMille's "The Ten Commandments". Another movie lacking in biblical accuracy but still visually stunning and well acted. As is this movie. With all the movies out there containing profanity and sex, this movie is truly a breath of fresh air. This one is sure to become a classic.
