      Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Those unfamiliar with Mormon traditions may find The Singles Ward occasionally bewildering. Rated: 2/4 Aug 30, 2002 Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune It is parochial, accessible to a chosen few, standoffish to everyone else, and smugly suggests a superior moral tone is more important than filmmaking skill Rated: 1/4 Sep 26, 2002 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Theirs is a simple and heart-warming story, full of mirth that should charm all but the most cynical. Rated: 3/4 Sep 24, 2002 Full Review Eric D. Snider EricDSnider.com Rated: C- Sep 18, 2002 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson New Times [D]oesn't bother being as cloying or preachy as equivalent evangelical Christian movies -- maybe the filmmakers know that the likely audience will already be among the faithful. Sep 12, 2002 Full Review Ron Stringer L.A. Weekly It all plays out ... like a high-end John Hughes comedy, a kind of Elder Bueller's Time Out. Sep 12, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member It is right on with a lot of funny things!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is very funny and too true. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie its one of my fav. Mormon movies of all time :D Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review spencer p Not a bad job at all for a first attempt at a comedy LDS movie. It may be apparently packed with cameos that are easy to fly over anyone but Utahns' heads at the time, but it picks out the most usual parts of the way church members date and puts them together in an order that really delivers both realistically and comically. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Halestorm showed a lot of promise with this first movie, an excellent one for those who want to understand the LDS faith and for those who are already members. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Times New Roman]Ok if you understand how you feel when you see a cheezy comedy but still....it makes you laugh and cry and junk...Than that's what you got here. The SIngles Ward was the first Comedy About Mormons, for Mormons, by Mormons.[/font] [font=Times New Roman][/font] [font=Times New Roman]In a Ferris Bueller type narration, a man named Jonathan Jordon, a member of the Church, has slipped down that path of Church inactiveness. So it's obvious the ward is trying to reach out...and in a montage of scenes we see how many ways they usually try to, and what Jonathans responces are. We first see"We're having a ward Barbeque! THought you might like some Chicken..." (the line is said hilariously and the facial expressions knock you out), The next we see "Our releif society baked some cakes and we thought you might want one!" and The other is "Hey Brother, Our wards going Paint Balling we thought you might wanna join us". His responces...In order are...[/font] "Oh sorry...I'm a vegetarian", "Oh....sorry guys I'm on a diet", and "I'm not allowed to handel fire-arms...I dunno if Paint Ball guns count but I can always ask my probation officer". All in all though...their is a romace story thrown in with this quirky comedy....and it's Hilarious... 8/10 FREsh Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
