This is a wonderful movie. Definitely one of the top LDS-themed movies ever done. Highly recommend anyone see it. My wife saw it at a special screening and everyone there gave it very high marks.

I have more important things to do than to spend two hours watching trash.

Like posting insightful, clever comments on the DNews website?

GeeBee

Why do we have to be continually embarrassed by LDS faux-dramas? In the film world, it's like bringing CandyLand to a kegger.

I saw this at a special screening as well and I thought it was a good movie. Comparing it to "The Best Two Years" isn't accurate. That film was given a much larger budget than "Errand of Angels". They had a first time screen writer too which didn't help. Overall I thought it was a very sweet and touching film.

TO: GeeBee

Maybe in your "film world," the movies you prefer watching are like bringing porn to a Ward picnic.

I look forward tonight to my wife and I seeing this movie with my 16 year old daughter. . . and by the way, it was my daughters idea to see it.

Only in Utah.

It was not only dry, but lame and silly. So-called "LDS filmmakers" need to become extinct.

To: Whatever...

If you haven't seen it, why call it trash? To your comments, I must say, "Whatever!"

Wow

It is truly amazing that someone funded this project.

Hey I have a great idea....lets make a movie about my mission and we will be rich.

Give me a break and stop wasting time.

Blown away

Here in FL and my Google page brings me here when I see something I think is interesting.

The part that blows me away, are all the negative posts here.

Are you folks really that bitter with life?

terrah

I agree with you, "Blown Away"! Let's hope such bitter people don't affiliate themselves with Christianity because as Gandhi said, "It is a first class tragedy that people who claim to believe in the message of Jesus show little of that belief in actual practice." Ouch.
Isn't it sad how sour malcontents make snotty little comments while hiding behind anonymity? How cowardly you are, "Anonymous" et al! Poor GeeBee; you're embarrassed by beginners? We all start somewhere. Perhaps you hope your heart surgeon was born with a thousand procedures under his/her belt? (WHO'S in Candyland?) A person who can't enjoy something for what it is will never bask in the delight of a child's first attempts at spelling, or swell with pride when an immigrant grasps just enough English to make his heart known. I truly feel sad for those of you who must always be nasty and cold. How lonely inside you must be!

just me

If you like a fun, uplifting, feel-good story, go see it and take your family. If you aren't too cynical about life and LDS stories you will like it.
