bkoganbing I'm guessing that the possibility of a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints member being elected president of the United States may have inspired the making of Meet The Mormons. Certainly in 2012 they became more visible than all the missionaries combined ever did with Mitt Romney's presidential candidate.Six Mormon stories from around the globe were told in Meet The Mormons. As this was a public relations film from the LDS church there best foot forward was put out. It was also quite deliberate that non-Caucasians were used. Mormons still have a public relations problem with darker pigmented people.The one that really interested me was the Naval Academy football coach. Who'd have thunk it, but there it is and the film had some footage of a White House banquet where Pacific Islander coach Ken Niumatololo got some kudos from President number 44. The Costa Rican female kick-boxing champion was also interesting.It's a nicely public relations and as always LDS stuff outstrips Christian fundamentalist films by light years.

Heather Young I absolutely LOVE this movie! I think it does a great job of showing how Mormons live day to day. And, it is such a diverse documentary, showing the lives of people who have been through a wide variety of struggles and experiences. This movie really puts Mormons out there: it shows us the lives of people who we can all relate to in some way. And, most importantly, it really is a movie about love, service, devotion, and Christ-like qualities. I recommend this movie to anyone who is looking to be and feel inspired! This movie will leave you wanting to serve your family and friends, as well as be more devoted to Christ and his commandments.

jeff-gintz99 First off, do not expect that you will get deep doctrinal discussion or church apologetics from this film. It is a documentary, really more of a story telling vehicle, of six Latter-day Saints. It is not controversial but uplifting. There is an emphasis on the diversity of the Latter-day Saints. We get the privilege to meet Saints from around the world and from all walks of life and learn how their faith is present in their everyday lives. If you are expecting a film that addresses controversial or misunderstood issues surrounding Latter-day Saints in the media then you will be disappointed. This film is not designed to address these types of issues but to emphasize that Latter-day Saints are simply Christians striving to lead better lives and that they have the same challenges and obstacles to overcome as everybody else. The final story of the teenage mother who is now married and preparing her now teenage son for a mission brought tears to my eyes and I cannot remember the last time a film moved me like that.

wilson-kyle-d I went to see this movie with my wife on opening night with a group of friends. It was an excellent film to bring the whole family to.It basically takes you into the lives of several individual Mormons (and their families), highlighting what is unique about them aside from the fact that they are Mormon. The purpose of the film seems to be to show how Mormons are not just a homogeneous group of people, but that they live in many cultures throughout the world. Another purpose seems to be to provide wholesome inspiring stories to move people in a positive way. I appreciated hearing each of the inspiring stories and even got a little teary-eyed on some of them. My wife and I left the movie theater with a good feeling, something that is lacking in many of today's popular films.
