God's Army (2000)
9/10
The beginning of the Mormon New Wave
10 February 2004
A movie written and directed by a Mormon, as well as starring in it as well, could give the potential viewer some trepidation, but have no fear! God's Army gives a fairly accurate and entertaining view of life as an LDS missionary. Having been one myself I approached the film with some scepticism, which turned out to be entirely unnecessary.

The film follows a new missionary (or greenie) as he leaves Kansas and goes on a mission to California. There he is teamed up with Pops, a well-worn, and in my opinion slightly too old missionary who shows him a thing a too, not only about teaching the gospel but also about developing his own faith.

If you're not religious don't be put off. It's a great film, with some very funny moments, and if you have been on a mission like me you'll appreciate it even more.
