Review of Meet the Mormons (2014) by John B — 09 Oct 2014

Just saw Meet the Mormons at the movie theater with my wife. I know I am biased since I am LDS, but I was surprised by how well it was done. The six stories were compelling, it had more humor than I anticipated, and it was a very honest look at who mormons are. I found bits and pieces of each of the six family stories that connected with me and my life.

There was no preachiness or proselyting in the film, just six interesting and touching stories from Mormons around the world. It was uplifting with positive messages of service, kindness and enduring the trials of life. I think anyone who sees it will come out with a better understanding of who Mormons are. There are a lot of funny misconceptions about Mormons that were addressed in humorous ways.

So there's my review of the film. You'll laugh. You'll cry. And if you're like me, you will smile at the end and want to be a better father, spouse and friend.
