The Movie Cricket

There are several unforced moments of humor, and most of them ... capitalize on [Lisa Valentine] Clark's sharp comedic skills and [Clare] Niederpruem's bubbly charm.

Rated: 3/4

The problem with a movie like this is if the chemistry is off and the jokes aren't working the whole thing feels very self-absorbed and tiresome quickly

Rated: 4/10

Fantastic film with charm and humor in just the right spots. This movie skews LDS but it has an empowering message of finding out who you are and what you want in life and being brave enough to go get it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
