Nardine Gharsa wrote at 10:11pm yesterday "Guys, that ending was quite possibly the most inspiring thing i have seen in a long time. I was sitting there thinking 'wow, thats a REALLY good sculpture of the crucifix'.. then the head moved, and i got kinda freaked out because i still thought it was a sculpture. then i realised it was a real person. Other than that, I was on the verge of tears. It was like.. picture perfect. Well done (:"

Peter Ebeid (UTS)wrote at 11:35pm yesterday "I have to agree with nardine, I had a heart attack when the crucifix starting moving. Nice ending though. Very powerful."

Dina Ibrahim (Macquarie)wrote at 12:37am "likewise , i honestly thought the crucifix was a statue... and like all u Guys had a heart attack of my own! But must say , Amazing acting and the script writer really touched some great points in the skit!! the messages were strong - the funny lines were short and sweet. As for the dramatic moments, - breathetaking. All this couldnt have happened without a good script , and it wouldnt have came to life without great acting !! So well done - Loved it."
