Suits on the Loose

What a sound track!!! The photography, acting, professional actors, story line, an actual message, funny, believable, these are some of the things we thought were super in this movie. We admire Mr. Henson for having the courage to stick with his passion and getting a good family movie out there. We laughed all the way thru, and actually got a little emotional too with the love story. We hope Mr. Henson continues to fight opposition to bring us even better movies. Thanks for the fun nights. You can't just see this movie once, you need to go back for the moments you missed while you were laughing. The whole family will enjoy it. Take your friends and neighbors too.

I don't know. There's not much to say about this film. It's probably one of the better films Halestorm has released (aside from the excellent "Best Two Years") but, let's be honest, that's not really saying much.

It's a nice premise that goes astray with one dimensional characters and, again, overplayed jokes taking prominence over story. The soundtrack isn't half-bad but that's not why you go and see a movie.

Two questions: 1) What's the deal with the lady in the airplane - she's pointless? 2) How many paint ball battles are we going to have to subjected to in Mormon films?

Like "Mobsters", a good concept led astray by poor execution on the script.

Kudos to the filmmakers for putting out a fun, feel-good movie that's appropriate for the whole family. It was a sensitive, funny, and heart-warming film. It had a great story and was well written. The cast was fun and very talented. Ty Hodges character was hysterical. The score was great as well. It was fun to hear the music by Gene loves Jezebel (popular 80's band). I even went out after the movie and bought the soundtrack and was pleasantly surprised. I believe this may be the best movie Halestorm has put out. I hope people support this film so there will be more good family entertainment to follow. Keep up the good work. Thanks

The best by far of the movies released through Halestorm--possibly because it wasn't written by a Hale. The Hales, of course, do a fine job of catering to their Mormon audience (as is indicated by the success of all of their recent movies, INCLUDING "the hometeachers". If you've seen it, you'll know why it's so surprising that the movie has turned a profit.) This movie, however, addresses its niche market (Mormons) while still telling a STORY! No joke, a real, honest-to-goodness story, with emotional ups and downs, humor, pathos, interest, the works. It's NOT just a vehicle for a bunch of cliché Mormon jokes with a moral duct-taped to the end. (Again, I refer you to "the hometeachers", "the RM", etc. etc.) Although it doesn't quite approach the depth of emotion of some of Dutcher's movies, this is an excellent film.

For those of you who want a summary: We start out in the Mojave desert, at what is apparently a camp for juvenile delinquents. Don't lose it here. About fifteen minutes in to the movie I was about to assume this was going to be a horribly dull movie, and I place the responsibility for that primarily on the general, who's not nearly funny and one-dimensional enough. (He's a stock character, find someone who yells...) Two young men escape from the camp, steal a truck and head out, only to have their truck break down. When two missionaries stop at the same rest-stop, the escapees hop into the car and are able to pose as missionaries for the next several days while the real missionaries struggle through the desert. Hilarity, of course, ensues. Some of the acting leaves a bit wanting (the real Elder Johnson and the fake Elder Talbot are both excellent, though) and some of the plot-lines don't seem necessary (why is it so important that Justin, the fake Elder Johnson, is the son of a Senator? Why is there that crazy old woman flying the plane around all the time?)

I give it an eight for its great addition to a niche market. (I don't say others can't enjoy it, but I do think the film makers did an excellent job by identifying and targeting their market.)

I found this movie to be wonderful family movie that is a pure delight. It was nice to see an LDS movie that can be funny without trying to capitalize on the eccentricities of the minority of LDS people. It was also refreshing to see a film with a good story that has humor as opposed to other films that try to tie their humor together with a weak story. Aside from the "real" missionaries, there was nothing stereotypical about the characters, LDS religion, or story. Even though the outcome is generally predictable, I didn't mind. The journey was worth it because the characters are so well developed and played. There is nothing offensive to young or old and I believe it would be enjoyed by people of all faiths; although some humor may be lost on those not somewhat familiar with the LDS faith.
