Featured reviews
The movie starts off great, most of us can identify with the urgency to leave at the end of a 3-hour block of meetings.
Overall, the characters were OK, the Ned Flanders meets Tommy boy premise was apparent (although the toilet scene seemed contrived and unrealistic). Elizabeth Sands role as Gregg's wife actually made the Gregg's premise as the football-loving dead beat believable.
If the movie started with a bang, the echos had faded by the time the plot was established. By the time they were going to Vernal, I was looking at the clock, waiting for the credits.
Nice try, but the slapstick adventures have run their course.

I'm surprised at how the majority of these reviews are so negative. Perhaps it's based in large part on expectations, but I came into the movie expecting pretty much the same caliber of film that I'd seen from these film makers before, and I was pleasantly surprised that they had raised the bar. My wife and I both noticed that production values are much better for this movie than the other 'Mormon' films we'd seen. The lighting, sound, and music seemed very well done. Of course, I realize that production doesn't count for much if the script is a dog, but I felt this film came through on that account as well. No, we weren't rolling in our seats with laughter, but there was good chemistry between the two leads, and I never felt myself cringing (as I find myself in many movies) thinking, "no one talks like that" or "that's not something somebody would say." They kept it pretty real...over-the-top in humor, but real in its characterizations. Perhaps the best compliment that I can give is that this film was funnier than the last few so-called blockbuster Hollywood comedies that I've seen. Well done. I may be watching this one again.
I got a real kick out of the cliché humor in this...and could see lots of the characters flaws and attributes in several people I know. I really enjoyed this.
I cant wait to see the other films from these same producers. I do recommend seeing the "Its Latter-Day night" Stand up comedy DVD. Both lead characters from this movie, among others are featured....and its hilarious. I had to keep pausing it because I was laughing so hard I was afraid I would miss the next joke.
I am very happy to see some big screen, well done, feature movies that are clean, and family friendly. This is one I would recommend to audiences of all ages. It is about time that the general population gets a chance to see that clean material that is age appropriate for everyone can be just as funny, and well done as any comedy. It is such a nice change, and I cant wait for more productions.

Kurt Hale and John Moyer's look into typical Mormon life shows humor in what most LDS people experience on a monthly basis. This comedy is life with physical humor on par with "Tommy Boy".
It is refreshing to see a movie that the whole family can enjoy and laugh at. The writer and director created a comedy without resorting to crude or morally debasing material.
This takes place in one day at the end of the month. Murphy visits these two bumbling home teachers every moment in everything they do as they attempt to visit 3 families.
A great ride!

This movie is one of the worst of the current sub-genre of LDS films (films made by Mormons and catering to a Mormon audience). The best of the lot were The Best Two Years and The Singles Ward. This is worse than Out of Step or Pride and Prejudice. It would not make a good seminary video and makes the lame Tom Trails series of the early seventies look like great film making. All of the characters are shallow stereotypes and one gag wonders. If you are careful, you can see all of the laughs approaching and will not be surprised by any of the sight gags or attempts at jokes. This was an amateur film that should never have played in theatres.

- TriviaThe Home Teaching program was introduced to the Mormon or LDS Church in 1963, announced by the church leader President David O. McKay. It was practiced for 55 years, with two-man teams home-teaching Mormon families once a month. Then in April 2018, General Conference, the church leader President Russell M. Nelson officially announced that the home-teaching program would be retired and be replaced with a program called Ministering, which serves family members' needs.
