stevenpete This entire movie was one endless cliché of Mormon culture: how they believe they are perceived by the world and how they believe the world perceives them. There is a scene where the fake missionaries are teaching the prospect about the Word of Wisdom and he replies something like, Not smoking and drinking was taught over 200 years ago, that was really progressive, and acts impressed. This comment of being progressive and forward thinking is over worked and has been for many decades. What would really be progressive is if the film showed the Mormon missionaries teaching fuel conservation and the prevention of global warming.The perception of persecution by the non-believing rowdy guys in the town is getting very old too. In reality, people like that will harass anyone who is different, whether they are Mormon, Jewish, gay or even handicapped. It would be a shame if this movie perpetuated a feeling of Mormon persecution when it in fact it is not true. For example, through my work I have seen endless and unrelenting persecution of homosexuals in Utah by Mormons, far more then any persecution myself or my friends received from non-Mormons while I was a Mormon growing up in California.Please get some new material. The endless cliché's of Mormon culture are getting old even for me and I haven't been involved in the Mormon church for over 18 years. I cannot imagine an entire life time of the same worn out stereotypes, prejudices and self-congratulating drivel.

elderthayn What a sound track!!! The photography, acting, professional actors, story line, an actual message, funny, believable, these are some of the things we thought were super in this movie. We admire Mr. Henson for having the courage to stick with his passion and getting a good family movie out there. We laughed all the way thru, and actually got a little emotional too with the love story. We hope Mr. Henson continues to fight opposition to bring us even better movies. Thanks for the fun nights. You can't just see this movie once, you need to go back for the moments you missed while you were laughing. The whole family will enjoy it. Take your friends and neighbors too.

sthayn I found this movie to be wonderful family movie that is a pure delight. It was nice to see an LDS movie that can be funny without trying to capitalize on the eccentricities of the minority of LDS people. It was also refreshing to see a film with a good story that has humor as opposed to other films that try to tie their humor together with a weak story. Aside from the "real" missionaries, there was nothing stereotypical about the characters, LDS religion, or story. Even though the outcome is generally predictable, I didn't mind. The journey was worth it because the characters are so well developed and played. There is nothing offensive to young or old and I believe it would be enjoyed by people of all faiths; although some humor may be lost on those not somewhat familiar with the LDS faith.

tara-broberg Kudos to the filmmakers for putting out a fun, feel-good movie that's appropriate for the whole family. It was a sensitive, funny, and heart-warming film. It had a great story and was well written. The cast was fun and very talented. Ty Hodges character was hysterical. The score was great as well. It was fun to hear the music by Gene loves Jezebel (popular 80's band). I even went out after the movie and bought the soundtrack and was pleasantly surprised. I believe this may be the best movie Halestorm has put out. I hope people support this film so there will be more good family entertainment to follow. Keep up the good work. Thanks
