Review of Meet the Mormons (2014) by Chris S — 15 Oct 2014

I'm trying to think of the last time I took my family to a movie and came out feeling inspired to be better, and knowing that the money I shelled out for six tickets was going to be donated to charity.

I don't think this movie helps the viewer understand Mormons or their doctrine better. It's more the story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and they happen to be Mormon. I left feeling inspired to be a better person.

This movie could just as easily be called "Meet the Methodists" or "Meet the Rotarians." Point is, every group, be they faith-based, community-based, or service-based, has members who are UNextraordinary by societal standards but do incredible good in the world.

The movie features six individuals from around the globe who happen to be Mormon, and lead lives focused on doing good. Net proceeds (box office proceeds less distribution expenses) from the theatrical release of the movie go to the American Red Cross.
