Nonureva Really Surprised!
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Tim Bobbitybim If you've chosen to live your life according to a convicted con man's plagiarism of a 19th century science fiction novel so bad that the author abandoned it, you don't get to roll your eyes at people who aren't fully versed in the current iteration of your mythology.Two Mormon filmmakers attempt to recreate the look and feel of the "Jaywalking" skits on The Tonight Show, but are somehow less funny. Generally polite, the interviewers sometimes get condescending when the general public mistakenly assumes that the LDS still follows its original doctrine.Overall, this film better serves to highlight the fallacy of composition common in Mormon entertainment. Unoriginal, boring, and providing nothing more than another example of the blindered existence of a very deluded cult in the desert.
Robert This is real life. These aren't actors. They are ordinary people explaining what they honestly think Mormons are. I loved listening to the claims and myths that Mormons are part of. I, myself am Mormon, and I was laughing at many of the things. I wasn't laughing at the people, rather I was laughing at the myths and how random they are.Some examples of myths include the fact that we cannot dance, we have horns, we are lizards and we cannot use technology. The best part is that the two hosts explain the truth to them afterward.There were many people who had the right ideas of Mormons, though. Not everyone thought we are crazy or that we don't spread our faith around.See for yourself!
