Synopsis: One Night with the King (2006)
Synopis: A visually beautiful film, ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING depicts the biblical tale of a Jewish peasant, Hadassah (Tiffany Dupont), and her journey to become the legendary Queen Esther. Her parents were murdered when she was a young girl and she was taken in by her uncle, Mordecai (John Rhys-Davies); he raised her in Susa, a city of the ancient empire of Persia. Hadassah--beautiful, intelligent and passionate--was summoned among many of the kingdom's virtuous young women to be groomed as a possible new queen for the powerful and handsome King Xerxes (Luke Goss). Hadassah hides her Jewish heritage under advisement from her uncle, and changes her name to Esther. She impresses the King. He falls in love with her and chooses her to be his bride, and she becomes Queen of Persia. Soon after, Hamen the Agagite (James Callis), the King's Prime Minster, proclaims his goal of wiping out all the Jews of Persia, and he convinces the King to approve the plan. It is up to Queen Esther to announce her Jewish heritage and come to the rescue of her people.Peppered with many religious references, ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING conveys the message of divine destiny as it tells the story of a queen who continues to be an inspiring figure. Although the result of Queen Esther's intervention is well known, the filmmakers and actors do a superb job of building up the suspense and the desperation felt by all involved. The film includes a brief cameo by Peter O'Toole as the biblical figure Samuel, and Omar Sharif appears as Prince Memucan.Features: One Night with the King (2006)

Pros: Most Inspirational Since Passion of the Christ.
Cons: Some say the accent changes in some charactors were very noticable.
I read reviews that said that the acting in this film was poor. I almost did not rent it. But I personally love the story of Queen Esther, so I went ahead and rented it.
In three days I watched the movie three times. I absolutely loved it. Who ever said that the acting was poor, did not give it justice. I personally did not notice the accent changes, until after the third time watching it, and someone pointed out the specific times. If you just pay attention to the story, none of that really matters.
The story was so absolutely wonderful. How God would use a "woman" to do GREAT things. Save God's people. And to see a Love story, and FEEL the true love between the two.... It had me in tears with awe each time I saw it.
I would recommend this to anyone. Not to mention the absolutely Gorgeous dresses that the women wear. I have now purchased this DVD.... I would recommend that you do the same. This would be a great gift for anyone you love. I think women would appreciate it more.... because the true love story in it is very touching. ...
