Movie

Wholly Moses

1980 · 103 min

A silly, scattershot biblical spoof that coasts on goofy sketches and broad gags, amusing in fits but rarely sharp.

Tagline: The story of Herschel. He wanted to be Moses...but he didn't have the right connections.
Overview: Harvey and Zoey, two tourists in Israel, discover an ancient scroll about Herschel, the man who was almost Moses. Herschel receives the command from God to free his people from slavery, but Moses keeps getting all the credit.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Faith, identity, fate, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
