D M Laugh out loud funny. The fact that they disprove the factually of their own religion is priceless. The mental gymnastics necessary to see this as other than an indictment of Mormonism is mind boggling. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Audience Member I absolutely LOVE this movie! So moving, inspiring and hilarious at times. Definitely a must see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Audience Member Though touching at times, the film fails to address it's own issues adequately and many of the situations seem out of the scope of reality. By trying to both be emotional and critical it ends up in the middle of the road and fails to wow as a result. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review spencer p Not only one of the first primarily LDS independent films of its kind, but it remains one of the most honest, emotional, accurately-written and well-acted of such films too. Even so, it could have ended better. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Many real-life Mormons quibble over the improbabilities and downright inaccuracies regarding missionary procedure and behavior that abound this shoestring budgeted indie drama; I for one have always allotted greater value to the quality of a film than the accuracy. There are several significant problems with GOD'S ARMY, but they are outdone by the soulful ambition and heartfelt sincerity. In this film, director Richard Dutcher is only beginning, and his talent shows greater polish in later films. It's basically a Mormon missionary soap opera, and melodrama is where the film slips up most often, with strain on credulity at times and some overblown drama, but the themes of spirituality and crises of faith are very insightful, and though perceived through the prism of Mormonism, they relevant to all people of faith. Unfortunately, in spite of all it has to offer them, it is not likely to do much for orthodox Mormons because such viewers are prone to relate it to real life and stress over issues of representation. However, with an elementary knowledge of Mormons, non-Mormons may find much edification and insight, as well as for liberal Mormons. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Schmaltzy, contrived, predictable, and pointless. Mormon or not, avoid this one...
