I enjoyed this movie very much. I went to college at Dixie college and the single's ward I was in was so similar to the movie. Hit the nail on the head.If any of you have th chance to go see this movie I recommend it highly. Also if you have a chance visit St. George and have some people take you to the caves and play hide in seek with glow sticks, it's a unique way to play and lot of fun. Also you have to go to Cafe Rio resturaunt it is one experience you will have to try with out a doubt. I hope this comment on the movie helps you in anyway to go see this hilarious movie with which I like very much. Please don't take my word for it, go watch it and you make your call. Well enjoy the movie and have a great day.
When watching this movie it is important to remember it is NOT doctrine, it is fun! Anyone who takes it as being disrespectful to the Church or becomes offended needs to remember it is a movie. I thought this was a great movie, tons of fun. I watched it for the first time at the dollar theater in Sandy, UT and they really hit every stereotype on the nose. There are parts of the movie that are funnier if you have lived in the Salt Lake/Provo area as a member of the Church, especially as a single member of the Church over the age of 25. As much as this is not meant to offend anyone, there is some truth to how it feels. As someone who is a convert to the Church, lived in Utah, and is divorced, I can completely relate to the experience. For anyone who has not seen this, I recommend you see it and have an open mind, otherwise you will only be missing out.
Singles Ward is a cheaply-produced insult to the Mormon religion. It constantly mocks the morals and beliefs instilled into the youth, and attempts humor many times, and fails just as many times.The actors are all no-name nothings, especially a talentless hack named Mitch English, of Centerville, Ohio. In short, this movie is not worth the DVD it's distributed on, and serves a more useful purpose as a coaster.There is no real plot line, and the occurrences that happen in this movie are unrealistic and insulting to the Church.If you spent money for this, demand a refund.
This was the best LDS Movie I have seen next to Johnny Lingo! The comedy was outrageous and had me laughing the whole time. It was a little Ferris Bueller-ish, but it never got old and kept me interested. Every character in this movie was funny. Zak, the non-member, was awesome and the bungie jumping his Beattle scene is great. Will Swenson and Connie Young actually make you feel like they belong together. "Oh yea! I'm going to Boise Idaho!" One of the best lines in the movie! I'm looking forward to seeing "RM". If it is anything like this movie, I'm going to have to buy that one too. I think all LDS Singles and even Married Couples should definately have this movie in thier collection.
