Unlike the critics I wasn't looking at this movie as a critique of the Church or an expose of doctrinal controversies. I have a lot of friends who are Mormons and they said this was about the lives of six Mormons from different walks of life. That is what it is and they are interesting.

The movie was great, and was way better than I expected, based upon the critics (mostly negative) comments. The people in the movie were inspirational and INTERESTING.

The movie was excellent! Excellent quality. Inspirational. It was about the lives of devout members, half or more who were converts to the faith. Obviously, the movie is a teaser, seeking to pike the interest of others who may want to know more -- others of a like nature to those in theThe movie was excellent! Excellent quality. Inspirational.

This film was very uplifting and inspiring. I am grateful to be a Mormon. Here is a link to a page on Mormon.org where I share why I am a Mormon and how I live my faith: http://www.mormon.org/me/1G7P.
"Meet the Mormons" is a funny, endearing, and authentic portrayal of six Mormons' lives.

Many critics claim that it is merely a sugar-coated, proselytizing piece of religious propaganda, but this is a very shallow and cynical analysis. The stories in the film do not attempt to mislead or deceive the audience as true propaganda would, but simply attempt to inform, build, and uplift. The film makes explicitly clear that (at least) two of its featured individuals have close family members who do not belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The important differences of religion between brother and sister or parents and child are genuinely honored and respected, not bemoaned or glossed over as one might expect in a real piece of propaganda. The conflict, tension, and adversity experienced in the lives of these people is real, and the fact that they each face their demons with courage and inner fortitude does not make it any less so. At the end of the day, "Meet the Mormons" will inspire you to reach higher, try harder, and develop faith in the power of love, family, and maybe even Jesus Christ. Sadly, the majority of movie critics won't want you to experience that kind of spiritual positivity. Their industry thrives when people are angry, dissatisfied, and disillusioned, so they will give this movie an inaccurately low score.…Expand
A feature-length commercial for the LDS Church. Would you watch a feature-length commercial for McDonald's or AT&T? Because that's what this is, and it's as boring as it sounds.
I walked out 15 minutes into this it was nothing but a propaganda piece by the LDS I guess I should've known that going in but I was dragged by a friend.
