From the poster art and what little I knew about the film, I expected a low-budget film with lots of wandering from house to house by Mormon missionaries. I didn't realize, for example, that there are so many incredible people in the cast. Jacqueline Bisset, for example, is her usual riveting self. There's Mary Kay Place...and, hey, if you love "Buffy," there's Amber Newman. He doesn't have a huge role, but I was delighted to see Rob McElhenney as a young Mormon missionary--he's one of the dissolute crew from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Joseph Gordon-Levitt doesn't get much of a chance to break out of the strictures of his character, and I find it very, very difficult to believe that a homophobic Mormon missionary would actually be so free and easy about using words like "homo" and "fag." That would have to be pretty unusual.
The best part of the movie is definitely Steve Sandvoss, not just because he does a good job of embodying the role of a basically innocent missionary struggling through the situations in which he finds himself, but also because Sandvoss is so insanely, insanely beautiful.
A lot of the action and situations seem rather forced dramatically, but this film is definitely worth watching. It's a good looking, handsome film with a talented cast.
