This affable and heartwarming romantic comedy follows Mormon comedian Jonathan Jordan (Will Swenson, the director of SONS OF PROVO) who, after a painful divorce, returns in a depressed and withdrawn state to his local community of unmarried Church of Later-Day Saints members. Jonathan is determined not to be cheered up, and avoids all organized activities as best he can--until he meets the beautiful and sweet activities director, Cammie (Connie Young). The movie ultimately embraces Mormon values while poking gentle fun at its charming characters. [More]

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

Theirs is a simple and heart-warming story, full of mirth that should charm all but the most cynical.

[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.

It all plays out ... like a high-end John Hughes comedy, a kind of Elder Bueller's Time Out.

Those unfamiliar with Mormon traditions may find The Singles Ward occasionally bewildering.

There's no conversion effort, much of the writing is genuinely witty and both stars are appealing enough to probably have a good shot at a Hollywood career, if they want one.

A word of advice to the makers of The Singles Ward: Celebrity cameos do not automatically equal laughs. And neither do cliches, no matter how 'inside' they are.
