One Man's Treasure

Neat movie, a lot of good lessons, and a lot of good interaction among the characters. Several of the actor were pretty good. The SJ / NP conflict between the two main characters was spot-on!. That's the kind of realisticOn top of everything else, the scenery in Bristol is gorgeous.

When I watch a movie, I do take into consideration

the budget given it. To me, it is the story that matters most,

and this is a very nice Mormon story. The acting was not as bad as

reviewers lead us on to be. Have you ever watched a Keanu Reeves picture?

This is as good , acting wise. John Lyde always does a fine job with

what little financing he has to work with. I have seen huge budget

movies which are pure trash. This, by contrast, is a very sweet movie

for a very specific audience. I liked it!! It would be nice to see what John Lyde could do with a large budget, As long as it is not one of his action movies.

Mormon cinema attempts to create it's own version of National Treasure (a team of people following clues to find hidden treasure) in this movie.

Okay, the acting is not the best and the story is not the greatest. It was, however, better than some of the really bad Mormon cinema (Out of Step, The Home Teachers, Church Ball) and not as good as others (The Singles Ward, The Errand of Angels, The Best Two Years).

The craft needs time to grow and develop and movies like this are going to come out in the process. It can make for an enjoyable Family Home Evening, but will never win any Oscars.

Understandably, you are going to hate this film if you are not LDS.

Just totally, stupendously terrible. Never watch this film. It's incredible to think that good money was spent in the making of it. There's a full orchestral score, which sounds like it was played live - that can't have been cheap!

Disastrous is too generous an adjective. The acting is worse than "School Play," the script is choke-on-your-tongue guff and the direction is just bloody appalling.

Why did I watch this at all? Because I was practically catatonic after two days on the sauce, and it was hilarious! Probably not the intention of the film-makers, but that's what got it the single mark out of ten.

Advise a long, cold shower after giggling like a mindless child at this dross.

It is good that we are allowed to express personal opinions, never have I seem one so biased against a new movie than the first published here in IMDb.

One Man's Treasure is a real enjoyable movie and the young actors/actresses do a superb job (okay I can fault the false English accent used by one of the cast, but that is a typical American perception and so wrong) I have purchased every one of the Producer JOHN LYDE'S movies, he started with real short movies first and they have all been so well produced and they have introduced many good young actors, most of them not being full time professional.

If you purchase the DVD which I recommend, there is a making of feature and John Lyde is totally honest of how limited the budget is on a production like this, but you would never know unless you are going to be over critical. By the way I am not a member of the LDS Church.

Well done John.
