Leave your thoughts about Meet the Mormons.
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettIsn't it silly to demand the film be more than what the filmmakers intended it to be? Did anyone expect the church to hire Michael Moore to direct its film? |
| The Film StageJohn FinkNothing more than a slick-looking TV ad, where its placement behind the "pay wall" of your local AMC, Regal or Cinemark seems rather silly. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryAudiences from outside the LDS Church may not come away with a new understanding of church positions on contemporary social issues, but at least they might find their basic assumptions challenged. |
| Village VoiceInkoo KangMeet the Mormons isn't substantial enough to screen on the first day of LDS 101; the church's most basic tenets — and controversial aspects — are elided completely. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreA slick, upbeat Church of Latter Day Saints-backed documentary that aims to answer the image of the church and its members “shaped by the media and popular culture.” |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiThe film operates under the assumption that the average Joe associates Mormonism more with "Sister Wives" than Mitt Romney, so the film will be an eye-opener only for subscribers to such stereotypes. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansThere's nothing in the movie about Mormon history, and no discussion of the unique aspects of LDS doctrine about which non-Mormons tend to be the most curious. |
| Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghYou'd learn a lot more if you went out and, well, actually met a Mormon. |
| NewcityRay PrideNearly nothing in Blair Treu's kindly public relations film illuminates the practices or beliefs of the church, except for a will to goodness and success, and small, seemingly telling details go unremarked. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckEssentially a feature-length advertisement for the Mormon Church which makes AT&T's "Reach Out and Touch Someone" TV commercials seem edgy by comparison, Meet the Mormons is strictly for the converted. |
