In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Jared is a young Mormon man who has just finished his two year missionary stint. He believes he is coming back to a job and plans on proposing to his longtime girlfriend. Horrors! After buying the ring, he learns his girlfriend is two weeks away from marrying someone else and his job is down the drain, too. Not only that, but his parents have sold his car and adopted a young man who is now inhabiting Jared's old room! Whew. Well, there is the den and Jared snags a job as a repo man for a rental company, among other prospects. And, he valiantly tries to sell the ring to improve his cash flow. But, things look up when he meets Kelly. She is the daughter of an important church man and she is beautiful. Can she possibly be interested in Jared? Everyone will take a shine to this film whether they are Mormon or not. The actors are engaging and funny, the script is snappy and the production values are good. There are a few insider jokes about Mormons which may fly over the viewer's head but it does not matter in the long run. If you are searching for another romantic comedy with good principles, put your faith in this review and find this movie. The film delivers a dose of happiness for any member of the viewing audience.

Being LDS, I really enjoyed The Singles Ward, and when I heard about this movie, I had high expectations, since both Will Swenson and Kirby Heyborne were in this movie.However, I was disappointed at the fact that Will plays a not-so-good-guy. He's a nice character, but he does a few things that I find just plain silly.It's been 2 years since I've actually seen it. But I have seen it, and I classify it in the weird column.The Story is lame, the acting is lame, and the result is lame.Avoid this movie. I'm being kind by giving it a 5.My Score: 5/10.

I am not LDS, but I've lived in Utah 25 years and am a professional genealogist, so I understood and appreciated lot of the "in-jokes." I caught this movie on KJZZ , a local independent broadcast network, on a Sunday night and while I came in a bit late, I kept watching - even to the detriment of my regular Sunday night shows.I can see where some people might be offended by the exaggerated portrayal of LDS culture, but from a non-Mormon point of view, it's refreshing to know that there are some LDS people who can poke fun at themselves and their culture.If I were to pick my favorite scene, without "spoiling" it, I would say it was the restaurant scene and the names of some of the dishes.I've been telling my LDS friends about the movie all day and they've all laughed at the scenes I've described and those who've seen it have had nothing bad to say about it.If it is available as a rental, I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

This film definitely is better than "The Single Ward", but that's not saying much considering. Don't get me wrong, the actors in this film certainly did a phenomenal job acting given that an actor is only as good as his script and director. Halfway through I decided that this film wasn't horrible because it didn't cause any pain, but that was before the courtroom scene. Yes, all the actors seem to portray the same character that they did in "Singles Ward." That's fine since this is only the filmmakers second film. At the current rate of improvement, these filmmakers will have a film that will be sure to have everyone laughing before the second coming. All-in-all, this film is a must-see for any fan of LDS film, but it certainly wouldn't have as wide appeal as "Brigham City" did.
