I didn't think this was going to be watchable but surprisingly it is mainly because you're not drowning in religious nonsense.
So watching around the religious bits its quite an appealing story. Girl meets world. Would have been better if for instance it was about a girl backpacking or couch-surfing though Europe without all the references to god or something related. But all that religious stuff can't be ignored. I was constantly feeling the urge to shake those missionary sisters to try and wake them up. They seem to have good intentions, I guess you could say they have their hart at the right place but this isn't the way to do good. Trying to convince people fictional stuff is real seems very mind controlling to me (have you heard of those ridiculous Mormon/Bible/Coran... stories?). Rather use those good intention for some real doing good like helping greenpeace or something.
Something I noticed is that they were quite hesitant to use the word Mormon throughout the first 3/4 of the movie. I wonder why? I didn't even realize that it wasn't the regular Christian stuff one thinks of when hearing the word missionary.
The acting throughout the movie was quite decent although it didn't have much dept overall. One thing tough the lead character didn't seem to get any better at German besides from understanding more. Her German accent was horrible as well. No improvement whatsoever although she says at one point that her German improved quite a bit.
