- The RM

Just think of this as a retelling of the Job without Larry the Cucumber.The acting is standard fair, the jokes are pretty much Provocentric especially the family, the center-pieces and the job of selling knives door-to-door. The lesson of overcoming temptation, greed, and the rewards for doing so is all here.Just in case you're wondering, YES, this is morality play. It could be done with cowboys and horses, (Which it wasn't which is why I only gave it four stars...) it could have been done with Veggie Tales... The point is if you like good clean fun which the whole family will enjoy and if you like movies with meanings, try this, you won't be disappointed.

A completely Mormon-centric movie and completely hilarious if you understand all of the inside jokes going on during the movie. It does deal with some adult themes during the movie, so small kids might want to avoid it, but the YM/YW crowd would not be an issue.

To appreciate all the humor in this movie, you either need to be familiar with LDS culture or watch it with someone who is. I was in this church for a while and still have friends in that church, so to me it was very funny. The writers of this movie didn't miss many stereotypes or realities of Mormon culture and still made them funny without being offensive. As a woman, the scenes of Relief Society competition among the women (although it would never be called that in the church) were especially funny, as were the juxtaposed scenes of the women's and men's meetings. The scenes of the cookies being delivered through the mail slot and the mother making an ice sculpture of the Salt Lake Temple with a chain saw had me doubled over, barely able to breathe, I was laughing so hard. Even with all the humor, there was an underlying message of perseverance and integrity throughout the movie so that anyone of any belief could understand and be touched by it. If you want to see a very funny, clean, family-friendly, well-acted movie, try this one. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Good show

The movie was very funny! But the movie skipped 3 or 4 times, but we'll have to try it on a different DVD player to make sure it's the player and not the DVD. Will update review when I try it on a different player

Ok Movie. Utah humor.

Awesome movie!

Damaged goods. The case of the dvd was broken and little bits of plastic everywhere. The wrapper was also broken and looked torn into. Am about to check the quality of the dvd itself.
