Refreshingly funny film
11 February 2005
I was very pleasantly surprised by this film. The movie is based around an old feud between the Mormons and the Baptists in a po-dunk town in Arizona. Tartan, a born and raised Utahan, moves there to work as a forest ranger. He is at first astonished at the quirky townspeople and the religion war, and then later helps to relieve the tension. While doing this, he falls madly in love a member's visiting niece. The two have great chemistry and their story is totally original. Anyone (Mormon or not) would really enjoy this film. It is a light-hearted comedy with a message. I am also impressed that it isn't just another LDS comedy, it has a completely different (and better) feel to it. While there is some funny physical comedy, the lines really are funny as well (not cheesy). Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it anyone.
