They do warn you at the beginning of this film that they take literary license in the telling of this story. They don't tell you that most of the dialog and much of the plot itself is written with "literary license." It does effectively tell the story of David's fight against Goliath and provides enough background material for viewers to understand why David fought Goliath.
Clearly this is a low budget production and I don't like to dismiss films simply for that reason. My biggest complaint is the way that the movie was made to be about twice as long as necessary. If you watch this using a player that has adjustable speed, you can zip through the minutes of a prophet trekking through the desert and speed past some of the redundant scenes of David's warfare training.
It's a good movie for family viewing if the youngsters don't get bored with redundant scenes, but watching this film together can also provide a good opportunity to share and discuss more Sunday school lessons.
