Judging by the applause when Esther and the King's wedding night quickly segued from a tentative and fully-clothed kiss in the royal bedchamber to "next morning" shots of spectacular waterfalls in the convincing and breath-taking CGI version of the royal palace of Susa, I gathered that they were VERY well satisfied with what the film delivered.

Heeeeeee.

Wow, I hadn't even heard of that movie before. I'd be surprised if it aired much over here (NZ's quite a lot more secular than the US, although it not being an overtly 'religious' story might make it more marketable), but it sounds interesting.
