God's Army (2000)
10/10
Saw the film
1 August 2000
I saw the film at the dollar theater in Ogden, Utah. I had heard very little about the film beforehand, so I had no expectations or preconceptions. As I watched the film I was engaged by the similarity of the events portrayed in the film to events in my own mission. The prank mindset, the slammed doors, the different stock personalities among missionaries: it all rang true. For those of you who think this film was a little over the top, I assure you, Mr. Dutcher watered down actual mission experiences. (At least in my case.) He was respectful of sacred themes, but at the same time did a good job of portraying some of the foibles of 19 and 20-year-olds. I would recommend the film, especially to returned missionaries. It will definitely take you down memory lane.
