Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

bkoganbing While being single isn't exactly a crime in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints it's not something that is looked kindly upon in a religion that is looking to grow and fostered polygamy among its first couple of generations to achieve growth. Young Will Swenson is a divorced Mormon and in their philosophy if you fall off the bicycle you get back on and ride. To achieve marriage for all is what The Singles Ward is all about. It's the LDS social mixer and Swenson who's fallen away from the church goes reluctantly. Which is where he meets Connie Young and he kind of likes her, she likes him, but not the fact he's taken up gentile ways. Swenson is a performer and uses some satirical Mormon material in his stand up comedy routine. Stuff that George Carlin would have approved of, but not some sweet Mormon girl who is about to go on her mission. Young Mormon women do that, not as socially necessary as it is for Mormon males, still it is done.The Singles Ward probably has limited chance of success outside the LDS world. It's a pleasant enough romantic comedy about a Mormon boy and girl who find each other. The performers are both good and attractive and some note should go to Kirby Heybourne who has received some notice in the gentile world playing one of Swenson's friends.All I can say is it's just young Mormons in love.

Ilikebooks This movie was terrible. The plot sucked, the acting was bad, the editing was inept and this movie makes me want to poke my eyes out. I wish I had the time I spent watching this movie back. The balloon scene was stupid, the Mormon jokes are really old, the soundtrack sucked, I saw no chemistry between the two leads, it's full of stereotypes, stupid local "celeb" cameo's..most noted was Del "I'm going to drive as fast as I want to.." computer idiot. What is worst is that these actors had to play themselves on the spiritual side and even they screwed that up. This movie help create a long line of lackluster efforts to mainstream LDS beliefs into Hollywood. I.E. The RM, Church ball, etc. etc. I would forgo watching this movie and instead run head first into a brick wall. You will be more entertained than watching this poor excuse for a show.

laurence-56 As thus far the only non Mormon to comment on this movie (we saw it on cinemanow.com), this was delightful, humorous, moving, placing it above the B movie level (perhaps), though it's weakness I feel is that it bowed too much to conformity, as in reality one doubts whether Jonathan would have returned so fully to the fold.It also gives an insight to those of us on the other side of the world into a fascinating and vital culture. We noticed the reference to Franklin Planners, which through Utah guru Steven Covey has influenced many throughout the planet even after they shift to palm pilots and beyond.

halenray I think that this movie is not for anyone who does not belong to the church, but that is not to say that they wouldn't choose to watch it anyways. I say this because there are issues that a non-member wouldn't understand, nor would they understand the humor, and they certainly wouldn't understand the underlying mockery. I am the "Jack" mormon that some have referred to in comments, and I saw alot of mockery in the film, and I'm not saying that it was intentional, the LDS film makers would not intend to do such a thing. This movie was okay, it is not one that I will be looking forward to seeing in the future, but if it happens to come on television, I might watch it for lack of anything else on tv. However, I may be intriged to watch future LDS movies, only because I am a member and I do understand the issues, and the humor. I only stress the mockery because it will only give those who nit pick at the morman religion more fuel for their fire. Thank you.
