    An interesting look at an interesting culture

    Some of the reviewers seem to have expected a movie that preaches mormonism. That is not what this movie appears to be. It is simply a snapshot of people's lives, living in a very unusual way in modern times. The characters seem real, the situations mostly non-contrived, and the writing is good.

    This is just as much a movie about Mormons as Witness was a movie about the Amish. You get a glimpse into their lives and a small taste of what they believe and do, but the story is the important part.

    Dutcher has stated that his purpose was to make movies for the mormon market, and if other people enjoyed them then that was ok. While it can be a little rough around the edges, it is a fine piece of independent cinema, and a joy to watch.

    I really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to Dutcher's next effort, The Prophet, the story of the mormon prophet Joseph Smith. He is an interesting character and lived an interesting life, whether you believe he was a prophet or not.

    It's a great movie

    If there was ever a movie that accurately described LDS missionary life, it's this one. One of the reasons that I liked this movie, is because I could identify with a lot of the experiences, i.e. The pictures on the toilet, the cockroach family tree, etc. I could also identify with the times that he didn't want to be on his mission. There were plenty of those times for me. As an LDS missionary I definitely could appreciate the attitude of the movie. Some people say that it offends them, and it doesn't accurately portray LDS missionaries, but having been on one myself, It does.

    LDS missionaries aren't all about being strict and serious 24/7. They are out to share their beliefs with others who want to know, because they believe it as well. I admire Richard Dutcher for taking a stand and being the first to produce a movie that tells the public what missionaries do, and what they go through. He's opened a whole new world to movie-goers.

    Surprised, positively and negatively

    First things first, I LOVE this film. Sure, it was raw and real, and even a titch cheesy, but I think the world has been fed sugar-coated views of the church for far too long and to show members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (and missionaries, to boot!) as real, imperfect people was a stroke of genius. I must say, however, that as I read through many of these reviews, I was pretty unpleasantly surprised with some of what was said (even and especially by Mormons!). This film was not propaganda, nor was it "anatomy of a cult." I've heard Richard Dutcher himself address his position in making this film and his intentions are pure and his film is real. Sure, it doesn't bring up particularly touchy issues the gospel has with the world, but does ANY movie address every aspect of its subject matter? To those who think that Dutcher's script dismisses those struggling with faith with a wave of the hand, claiming, as the film states "sometimes I think God gives us a few hundred reasons to believe, and just throws in a couple not to, so that we can choose for ourselves," I would say THAT IS WHAT FAITH IS ABOUT. You can find imperfections with even a perfect system if you look hard enough. This film showed real people in real situations. The moment of insanity, as so many have put it, when Elder Allen realizes his true identity was the most touching thing I had seen in a theater to date (until, of course, Dutcher's next brilliant film, Brigham City). I'm disappointed that people have decided to use their film review as a Mormon-bashing forum (although, I suppose I'm using it as a Mormon-promoting forum, but all in the name of defending the truth, right?). I give this film 11/10 and recommend it to anyone who has an open mind or faith in what the true gospel is really about.

    By and for Mormons

    I had a chance to see a screening in Utah with Richard Dutcher. He said that he made the film for the LDS community so they could see a bit of themselves on screen in an entertaining way. After having seen the movie, I agree that is what he accomplished.

    For a Mormon to wade through movies where they are portrayed as rustics, idiots or laughing-stocks (My Five Wives, or Orgazmo, anyone?) is tiring. For a Mormon to wade through other movies about people who act immorally (in their view) and are praised in the movie for it (any action film, and many romances) is equally tiring or even offensive. He thought 5 million Mormons in the US wanted to see something different. He was right.

    He did not make the film to proselytize to non-mormons, address or explain "issues" about the Mormon church, teach doctrinal points or any other such thing. Anyone saying otherwise probably missed the entire "raison d'etre" of the movie.

    The plot was a bit more formulaic than one might like, but less so than any "Action movie blockbuster" of the year (For example, did anyone really *wonder* how the plot of "Gladiator" would develop?).

    The acting was solid. That's pretty suprising for essentially an indy. Dutcher said that only a few of the actors were Mormon, but they were convincingly Mormon. The dialog was good and too jargon-filled for any non-mormon to follow 100%. It wasn't the movie's intent to provide explanations for these things. If you need a glossary for the movie, ask the target audience. The music was well done, contributed to the movie without being to obtrusive. The production was very professional, even considering it was done on a shoestring budget and shot in less than 3(?) weeks.

    Compared to such high-profile stinkers as the Blair Witch Project, this movie was masterpiece. Compared to a masterpiece, it was good, not stellar but good.

    That's my $.02 opinion. Take it for what it is.

    N.

    P.S. For those who wonder if the movie is a "realistic" portrayal of Mormon missionary life, the answer is "yes, it is inasmuch as a 108 minute movie can do."

    Great movie

    I have seen this movie about three times. I consider it one of the best movies made by LDS. The movie portrays reality of LDS missionaries. I am a convert to the church (I was raised catholic), so I can relate to the scene with the dad and the two daughters. The movie is interesting all the way. I could not think of one dull moment. I like the fact that prayers were expressed throughout the movie in complete form. I was moved by the scene when the elder was ill. The reaction of the "greeny" was real: a nineteen-year old that did not know what to do in such a situation. I was also impressed by the other missionaries who quickly reacted by doing the proper procedures to prevent the ill missionary from getting hurt while having a seizure. I loved the eloquence with which the missionaries taught.

    • Anecdotes
      The film's poster intentionally doesn't include Elder Banks so the audience doesn't know that he's a missionary when he's first introduced.
    • Gaffes
      Many things that Elder Allen needs help learning are things that are taught in the the MTC (Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah). All missionaries, both Elders and Sisters, are required to attend the MTC before being sent to their assigned missions, but it's all too obvious that Elder Allen never attended (or attended, but was totally inattentive).

      Dalton: So, what did you think of the sisters?

      Allen: Monson's nice, I don't know about the other one.

      Dalton: Yeah, Sister Fronk.

      Allen: Yeah, her.

      Dalton: She's a very smart girl.

      Allen: Well, she thinks so.

    • Crédits fous
      Gwen Dutcher, the wife of the film's director Richard Dutcher, plays the woman who gets baptized, and she's called "Sexy Mormon Lady" in the credits. She gets another "crazy credit" in another of her husband's films, "Brigham City."
