Review of The Other Side of Heaven (2001) by Jonathan P — 09 Aug 2011
This is an odd movie for me to rate. In one view (being Mormon myself) I see it as one of the better Mormon movies. It lacks a few things and requires the overly cheesy dialogue and characters, yet on the other side it seemed a bit odd that Disney would do this movie as it is so strongly Mormon.
The entire time I was watching I kept hoping that Disney wouldn't make a mockery of some of the things we hold dear. They didn't but they weren't accurate in all aspect either. Either way the movie is a decent portrayal of one young missionaries life with the people of Tonga.
I didn't particularly care for Christopher Gorham's portrayal but the movie was good enough to recommend to LDS friends but maybe not everyone.
