This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

As a pioneer-descended, Utah-raised Mormon bishop, I'm obliged to agree with some of the negative reviews. Perhaps I'm demanding, but when I see a comedy, I expect there to be a laugh or two somewhere in it. The actors are fine - very good, in fact. The film editing is fine. The script and direction are abysmal. Forget the plot holes and loose ends: The gratuitous swipes at other faiths and pro-LDS smugness are unbecoming and embarrassing. And I agree with one reviewer: enough with the paint ball obsession, Halestorm. This film wants to be funny and heart-warming and faith-promoting, but it comes out 0 for 3. The scriptwriters write as though they've no idea how to speak to a non-BYU audience. This film won't appeal to anyone but Mormons, and only the most undemanding at that. More's the pity.

I saw this movie twice while visiting in Utah....and might add look forward to seeing it a third time! It is refreshing LDS humor that isn't slap-stick or disrespectful. It's about time somebody made a movie that you don't have to cringe anticipating bad language or nudity or....oh well I think you get the picture;-). It is nice to have professional actors with a director who has experience with the art of film making. The sound track is wonderful and I love singing along with some of the songs.Some of the reviews I've read, I have wondered either "Did that person really see the movie?" or "That person must have to have the 'R to X' rated stuff to shock him/her into laughter or amusement. What a sad commentary on some "Reviewers". Go see it and then go see it again to catch little things you miss the first time!I hope it makes it out here to North Carolina!!!! I look forward to more movies from New Horizon and Rodney Henson.

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.

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
