"I Will Go and Do" (Liken the Scriptures, 2003, not rated, $19.95). Think of the "Book of Mormon Movie" as a low-budget, very broad musical comedy — or perhaps a big-budget roadshow. That will give you some idea of what to expect from this 45-minute live-action adaptation of some of the stories from 1 Nephi in the Book of Mormon.

This mix of farce and sentiment will probably appeal mostly to children, especially with its wraparound story of a young boy in Primary who learns a lesson in the scriptures. His imagination brings to life the story of Nephi's family wandering in the wilderness, mixing silly contemporary one-liners with song-and-dance musical numbers. And, eventually, they try to get the brass plates from Laban, portrayed here as an overeating fop. (There are even outtakes of actors laughing and flubbing lines under the end credits!)

I found the comedy flat and the songs unmemorable, but it's not a bad Family Home Evening video for families with young children. Parents can doze until it's over.

Extras: Widescreen, audio commentary, interactive game.
