This upright and thoughtful film boasts a level of quality and noble purpose that Hollywood has all but abandoned.

'Mormonz N the Hood' would have been a fitting title.

Might feel like a Hollywood movie but it's clearly not. Dutcher, who also wrote the screenplay, does his share of sermonizing and clobbers the audience over the head with a spiritual ending.

Top Critic... the movie's compassionate message gives it a measure of grace ... but good intentions don't always make for a good movie.

A landmark film.."Crash" for Mormons.

Director-writer-editor Richard Dutcher breaks all the rules of the Mormon Cinema genre he singlehandedly launched five years ago.

An epic of spiritual drama in which every character is well-drawn and well-played.
