Movie Info

A pair of escaped juvenile delinquents discovers that missionary life is just as restrictive as life in their state-sponsored correctional facility after posing as Mormon missionaries to elude detection in director Rodney Henson's religious-themed comedy. Justin (Brandon Beemer) and Ty (Ty Hodges) are two rebellious teens who just can't seem to grasp the concept of authority. Shortly after making a successful escape from their Mojave Desert detention center run by the overzealous General Wilkins (Charles Napier), the pair's perfect escape plan hits a snag when their car dies at a remote rest stop where Mormon missionaries Elder Talbot (Shaun Weiss) and Elder Johnson (Jason Winer) are taking a break before heading to their next assignment in nearby New Harmony. Soon swapping their military fatigues for Mormon missionary duds, Justin and Ty hit the road in their new car assured that the authorities will never suspect their true identities. Though they were correct in their assumption, the one thing that Justin and Ty never expected was to be offered a police escort to New Harmony -- where the ultra-religious locals have big plans for their newly arrived guests. Now stuck in a town where the lights go out at ten, the alarm goes off at six, and God's word is the law, these two identity-thieving delinquents are eventually forced to choose between living a life of lies or finally coming clean about their shady past.

Critic Reviews for Suits on the Loose

All Critics (4) | Rotten (4)

Never takes advantage of its farcical premise. A certain level of mania is required to pull off something like this, and Suits on the Loose seriously needs to loosen its tie.

The script falls short in the jokes and originality department.

Audrey Rock-Richardson
Tooele Transcript-Bulletin (Utah)
The film perhaps tries a bit too hard for its own good, as the filmmakers also try to steer a few scenes in a comic direction when they shouldn't. And it gets all gooey and sentimental at the end when it shouldn't.

Jeff Vice
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
It's Happy, Texas without the gay humor -- or, for that matter, humor of any stripe, just a lot of lame slapstick and mugging that seems to go on for hours.
