The Errand of Angels

My family and I just recently went to the free previewing of this film, and I was extremely impressed as was my family. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was touching to see how Sister Taylor, the main character, overcame her struggles and was able to help so many people! I would strongly recommend this film to anyone of any age, and I hope many people will go to support this film when it is officially released. We need to show Hollywood that films such as these are what the people want, and that we are willing to support it so much that the first day showing will be sold out. Please go and see this movie, and tell as many as you can about it.

The boss sang it in 1992 and i experimented this fact during my west coast - east coast this summer. I was in America for 23 days with a different city, hotel room each day and for more than 3 weeks, my zapping on cable TV was a lost time : an explosion of ads, limited sport choices, silly programs about home, food, TV reality, sharks or crimes, awful movies, stupid sitcoms, looping news, well, not an once of creativity or culture

Except when i reached Salt Lake city and i discovered this movie on BYU TV : this night would be forever in my mind.

This is just an amazing feature, totally out of time and deeply engaging, a bit close to « Hideous Kinky »: it's about a young missionary sister who travels abroad to fulfill her faith. Her enthusiasm and energy is just gripping & contagious and her faith and doubts were so pure that it was deeply moving.

In a way, it was also like a slap in my face to wake me up: do i live a fulfilling existence? Am i truly happy? With my actual occupation, i can't really say that but in the same time i don't imagine everything else. It's clear that making a living from our convictions or putting efforts to concretize them is fantastic. I think that in a way, I aspire myself to that alternative life so that's explain why that kind of movies makes always a big impression on me.

In all cases, meeting this kind of girl who is driven by spiritual needs would be a miracle as looks and money seems to be the only assets in relationships today. Her experience is very well told with fun and with wisdom. It's cool to see that they can joke about their religion just because smile and laughs comes from their heart thus from their creator ! It gives also a good lesson about tolerance and compassion : loving your neighbors isn't only loving the ones who cares about you but especially the ones who are difficult ! And as in « Signs », you can understand that having faith is to never be alone and to have a special connection with the creator !

At last, the director frames with talent all the shoots and the songs are just great : « as sisters in Zion », « silent night » that is sung with a feeling of a simple joy and inner peace so true that it's the best version i have ever heard!

In conclusion, if those angels errand, they are also touched by grace as this movie really shines your day now and after !

I really did try to watch this to the end but I had to give up after an hour otherwise my shoe was going through the TV. The flimsy story us about a your American girl on missionary trip to Austria. At first she is partnered with a pleasant girl but things go downhill when the next companion is a bit of an ogre. Maybe this film is enjoyable to deeply religious people (see the other reviews) but to the rest is nothing less than propaganda. There are some really cringe worthy moments when the cast are attempting to convert the local populace. On the plus side the scenery was beautiful and the production reasonable. Unless you want to be brainwashed don't watch this film.

This movie was one of the best movies that I have seen. I really enjoyed the story that was presented. The actors were also first-rate and the cinematography was absolutely beautiful. Having lived in Europe I really enjoyed seeing areas that I had been to. I also served as a missionary in Europe so it was refreshing to see my experiences portrayed on the big-screen. Also, an excellent choice to focus on sister missionaries, as so many of the other missionary movies have been focused on elders. I am really impressed that the entire cast and crew could pull this off. Thumbs up to all associated with this excellent production. I think that this movie will be a big success, particularly in the LDS film market.

I saw this at the LDS Film Festival back in January 2008. It is a powerful movie, both inspiring and funny! I took my 10 year old nephew and he loved it, he wanted to see it again - and he doesn't sit still for more than 10 minutes at at time, so that should tell you something! I was touched by the message shared, and found myself examining my own attitude toward others in life. The scenery was spectacular - really added to the ambiance! The tone of this movie is not like the RM or other movies that are LDS comedy, it has more of the tone of Other Side of Heaven. Thank you Heidi Johnson & Christian Vuissa for sharing this wonderful story with us!
