    Enjoyed the Tongue in cheek humor

    I got a real kick out of the cliché humor in this...and could see lots of the characters flaws and attributes in several people I know. I really enjoyed this.

    I cant wait to see the other films from these same producers. I do recommend seeing the "Its Latter-Day night" Stand up comedy DVD. Both lead characters from this movie, among others are featured....and its hilarious. I had to keep pausing it because I was laughing so hard I was afraid I would miss the next joke.

    I am very happy to see some big screen, well done, feature movies that are clean, and family friendly. This is one I would recommend to audiences of all ages. It is about time that the general population gets a chance to see that clean material that is age appropriate for everyone can be just as funny, and well done as any comedy. It is such a nice change, and I cant wait for more productions.

    Starts off well, but you will feel like Gregg in Elder's Qrm before it is over!

    The movie starts off great, most of us can identify with the urgency to leave at the end of a 3-hour block of meetings.

    Overall, the characters were OK, the Ned Flanders meets Tommy boy premise was apparent (although the toilet scene seemed contrived and unrealistic). Elizabeth Sands role as Gregg's wife actually made the Gregg's premise as the football-loving dead beat believable.

    If the movie started with a bang, the echos had faded by the time the plot was established. By the time they were going to Vernal, I was looking at the clock, waiting for the credits.

    Nice try, but the slapstick adventures have run their course.

    Uproariously Funny!

    Kurt Hale and John Moyer's look into typical Mormon life shows humor in what most LDS people experience on a monthly basis. This comedy is life with physical humor on par with "Tommy Boy".

    It is refreshing to see a movie that the whole family can enjoy and laugh at. The writer and director created a comedy without resorting to crude or morally debasing material.

    This takes place in one day at the end of the month. Murphy visits these two bumbling home teachers every moment in everything they do as they attempt to visit 3 families.

    A great ride!

    Mormon movies are fantastic

    These movies are hidden gems, my family loves Church Ball, down and derby, inspired guns, the unitards and this one, the home teachers. I always bring a new one to our family get togethers at our lake home and everyone finds them entertaining. Another movie we love is heaven bound with Torrey Martin, it's a classic. We love these family friendly comedies with a faith element in them and the comedic lines you can repeat over and over again. I'm glad I stumbled upon church ball which in turn helped me find all these other comedy gold movies that are rare unless you seek them out, don't just watch what your Roku recommends or what's in theaters, there are a lot of great movies out there that are clean and incredibly enjoyable. The home teachers doesn't disappoint.

    Lot's of fun and pretty brainless!

    I am LDS but my husband is not. We rented this video so that he could see how "peculiar" a people we LDs really are. He loved it! He thought that it was one of the funniest things he had ever seen. I also love "The Best Two Years" and "The RM" and hope to show these movies to him also. These videos can open up dialog about particulars of LDS doctrine and practices in a relaxed way with people who aren't LDS. I recommend them. YES, they are not the pinnacles of cinematic production--- they aren't meant to be. This movie was meant to be watched by the whole family and to both poke fun at LDS life and to praise it. The characters are flawed but recognizable and the situation is so typical to Mormons that the crazy antics of the main characters are really laughable. ;j

    • Trivia
      The Home Teaching program was introduced to the Mormon or LDS Church in 1963, announced by the church leader President David O. McKay. It was practiced for 55 years, with two-man teams home-teaching Mormon families once a month. Then in April 2018, General Conference, the church leader President Russell M. Nelson officially announced that the home-teaching program would be retired and be replaced with a program called Ministering, which serves family members' needs.
