Without the 'it's funny because it's true' Mormon humor, it's basically just another mismatched-partners/'Tommy Boy'-ripoff/one-thing-after-another comedy.
It's as if in trying to tell an actual story the filmmakers have taken a large step backward.
Starts out genuinely funny, morphs into fourth-grade style silliness, and awkwardly transitions into an almost somber and serious ending.
An uneven buddy movie.
Well meaning family comedy, a Mormon movie. Generally I like Mormon movies, this one was below par though. Sillier than most but it's message is a good one. The acting is adequate. Some funny situations.

Halestorm entertainment has produced some genuine gems, but this one shows what can happen if you try too hard. LDS comedy can be a great thing, but when you forego a good story for non-stop slapstick "comedy" it can be a bad thing. This movie had a lot of potential, but it failed to live up to it.
