D M @RT27541747 Apr 21, 2025 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. See more IAmWhoIAm T @RT84728469 Jan 22, 2025 I absolutely LOVE this movie! So moving, inspiring and hilarious at times. Definitely a must see! See more Aug 14, 2017 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. See more spencer p @s_plewe Jan 26, 2017 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. See more Jan 27, 2013 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.
