What is all the hype about? Once again the Miramax Oscar Machine has managed to hype a film which really doesn't deserve any attention. Don't musicals usually require actors who can sing and dance? I was appalled by the poor quality of this film - and yet it received 13 Oscar nominations! Is that a reflection of the lousy quality of Hollywood films this year? "Moulin Rouge," which made me want to leap from my deat and applaud every few minutes was overlooked by the Academy, and yet, when an American impersonator appears, praise and acclaim is lauded on a mediocre also-ran.
The only redeemable (and frankly quite good) part of the film comes from John C. Reilly, who never fails to please, in his song "Mr. Cellephane." Very sad, poignant, and well performed. He's a great actor, and he proved it amongst a cast and director who all muddied their already tarnished careers. Boo to the Academy and all those viewers sucked in by the hype.

The start of, and perhaps, the definitive work thus far with regards to the fledgling "Mormon cinema" movement, God's Army is an honest and worthy cinematic effort. Writer/Director/Actor/Producer Richard Dutcher tells a story he really beliefs in with honesty and passion, and although the acting and production value of the film are not up to par with his subsequent effort, Brigham City, the integrity of the film makes it far more enjoyable and far more appealing. With reference to the other works within "Mormon cinema" including Singles Ward, Brigham City and Out of Step, God's Army stands tall in comparison, the quality perhaps being reflected in a boxoffice take more than twice it's closest competitor. Singles Ward and Out of Step in particular are cheap, easy and unimaginative swill churned out to an eager, but small, target audience of Mormons starved of entertainment they can reallly call their own. These films pander to the lowest common denominator, whereas God's Army
attempts to rise above purely Mormon culture and give the world a taste of what it is like to serve a higher and unseen entity - relying purely on faith, as an insecure, young, and unlearned youth.
