In this modern adaptation of the biblical tale, Tony Danza stars as Norman Waters, a nice yet conniving building contractor called upon to build the legendary ark when God decides to destroy the Earth a second time. Reluctantly accepting the challenge presented by God's liaison, Zach (effectively portrayed by veteran character actor Wallace Shawn), Norman slowly learns that, as the widowed father of three sons (Benny, Daniel, and Levon for all you Elton John fans), his family is more important than his work or wealth. No one believes Norman when he tells them what he has planned, except for Angela (Jane Sibbett). She is the local animal expert, and provides Norman with assistance and caring during this monumental task. With impressive special effects and surprisingly good acting, Disney's Noah provides a refreshing view of an ancient tale and infuses this quite serious story with humor and warmth. (Ages 8 and older) --Zachary Lively

 Tony Danza Feature May 20, 2009
Pamela L. Curchin (Middletown, NJ)
Noah is a wonderful movie about an average man who is instructed to build an ark in the middle of the desert due to an impending storm of tremendous impact. This is a cute film and my video arrived in perfect condition in record time. Love Amazon.
Light hearted teaching for the whole family May 17, 2008
W. Vogel (North Carolina)
I bought it because of Disney, Tony Danza, and Noah. I keep it, and wish I could find a DVD version, because, the entire family (grandparents through grandchildren) enjoys it over and over again.
Through a fun story line, it teaches enduring principles of faith, family dynamics, loss, processing grief, ethics in the work place, personal responsibility and growth, social dynamics, love, and forgiveness.
 Big theological problems with this movie December 8, 2007

This was supposed to be a modern story about Noah, but it has some serious theological problems, if you are a Christian. The incorrect theological messages in this movie include: God is a woman, everyone gets saved, and that we can earn our way into God's grace. The last problem is probably the most serious. No one, by our works of goodness, earns our salvation. Although we all fall short, God extends grace to us.
I love this movie! February 24, 2005

Really brings this biblical tale to the modern time! July 11, 2002

Disney and Tony Danza - a combination that guarantees entertainment! Norman Waters, the widower with three sons and a not-so-honest construction worker, receives the test of his life when God sends a messenger to him. The messenger must convince Norman to build an arc, as he will be sending the disasterous flood in the near future. Norman responds like anyone probably would in the similar situation, but when he accepts his fate, his sanity begins to be questioned by those around him. Eventually, a local pet shop owner helps him supply the animals for the arc, even sacrificing her entire savings and business for the project.... all while the two fall in love. This project tests his relationship with his sons, with their various feelings about their dad's activities. In addition, the community, friends, and business associates add to the complications of Norman's fate. Norman cannot help to make some permanent changes in his beliefs and future actions, but you'll be surprised at the results. This is an excellent movie, that does stress the fact that sometimes things may not quite make sense to others - but we all have to do, what we have to do. There are many more levels to this movie that I can describe here in such a short review... so I highly recommend you watch this movie to obtain the full impact of it. Enjoy!
