10/10
takes the prize as best
18 January 2004
Quite a bit different from The Sinlges Ward and The RM, but as Mormon comedy movies go, this takes the prize as best. It was hysterical! And the great thing was that the humor really is able to appeal to everybody not just Mormons. Halestorm Entertainment has really come a long way with their techinical expertise and it shows in this film. It looks good, but from a stand point of camera work and camera direction there is a great improvement in cut away shots durring dialogue, and back and forth shots - its not just one master shot of two people talking. The pacing and movement was nice and clean. It felt a bit short, and i think was at a few minutes shy of ninety. Another scene or two would have been OK. Which wouldn't have been too hard with all the wild events the two lead characters went through, I am sure the writers could have come up with a few other gags to up the anty. Though some of the gags didn't seem to make sense. IE the tire change in the beginning. Maybe the idea was OK, but the execution of it didnt seem to make much sense. The running joke with the troll was so so. Fell flat in a few spots. And when they asked for a current issue of Highlights? Huh? But overall as a whole, this film was great. Me and my room mates and our dates really, really enjoyed it. I will go back to see it again - at the dollar theater second time around. But for sure will be adding it to the DVD collection. Thanks to Halestorm for another good addition to the mix.
