Ben Hur was a total surprise. The theatre was full for the screening. Nothing at all like the 1959 original. I laughed and actually yelled. I left with tears in my eyes, I am sure I was not the only one. Highly recommend seeing. Some very valuable life lessons in this movie about humanity and family! Loved It!!!
