And the film seems to have the support of a goodly portion of religious communities, from liberal Christians to conservatives Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson to Rabbi Norman Lamm, president of Yeshiva University, and Muslim leader Maher Hathout. "Hollywood got this one right," Falwell says. Evangelist Robert Schuller has even laid hands on Katzenberg and blessed him. The executive says he will gladly accept all the help he can get.
