Summary: Halestorm has done it again
Date: 2007-12-27 - 
Comment: This movie shows, once again, that the Mormons have a good time laughing at themselves. Like other tight knit groups the LDS culture has its share of sterotypes and cliches and poking fun at them is a hoot. This movie does that so well. It also emphasizes the need to accept those who are different from ourselves - something I wish was more common among all denominations. If you aren't LDS invite a Mormon friend over to watch this with you and you can laugh at the movie and your friend's response because they will be rolling on the floor laughing.
I would like to make one suggestion - please oh please give us some more fairy tales the this version of The Three Little Pigs.
Summary: Olesya Rulin's in it!

Comment: Wow! Olesya Rulin does a great job! Mark DeCarlo is hilarious! This is a wonderful film for everybody! Someone spelled Olesya Rulin's name like this... Oleysa Rulin. Oh well, one mistake. Well, I'm buying this for christmas! (Review by my son, Taylor)

Summary: Funny Family Movie
Date: 2007-08-28 - 
Comment: I love this movie and have shared it with my non-LDS family members. They also enjoyed it as the "mobster family" makes the types of comments and asks the questions my family often ponders. It is a family film- so the mobsters are not really all that hardcore but you do get some funny interactions that are pretty true to life with people who are unfamiliar with the LDS Church.
I hope that LDS families will watch this movie and learn that you can be a friend, coworker, neighbor etc. and not have to constantly try to convert someone. Just care for their needs and the rest will follow! Also, you get a good look at the Ward mentality- those supposed Ward royalty often shape the opinions of the group based on perception instead of doctrine and can sometimes get in the way of true Christian compassion.
I think that non-LDS families can also enjoy this movie, and not just to laugh about the similarities to your Mormon neighbors!

Comment: Although it's funnier when you understand Mormons and their lifestyles, but it is still funny no matter who watches it.
