 "One key problem with these ardently Christian storylines is that there is never any question of how things will turn out."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"In its own way, Joshua is as blasphemous and nonsensical as a Luis Buñuel film without the latter's attendant intelligence, poetry, passion, and genius."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"...too sappy for its own good."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"The film falls short on tension, eloquence, spiritual challenge -- things that have made the original New Testament stories so compelling for 20 centuries."
-- James D. Davis, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
 "Director Jon Purdy, while not giving us a stellar example of cinematic artistry, still succeeds because he remains true to the film's simple and yet poignant message."
-- Michael Elliott, MOVIE PARABLES
"When you resurrect a dead man, Hard Copy should come a-knocking, no?"
-- Christopher Null, FILMCRITIC.COM
"Not an objectionable or dull film; it merely lacks everything except good intentions."
-- Eric D. Snider, ERICDSNIDER.COM
"As a feature film it fails miserably."

"It's played in the most straight-faced fashion, with little humor to lighten things up. The heavy-handed film is almost laughable as a consequence."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
