Movie Reviews of BAPTISTS AT OUR BARBECUE
Movie Review: Probably the best Mormon movie to date.
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, it's probably not something you would take your family of 4 (7 if you're Mormon) to the theater and pay $8 each to see.
But it's much better than "Home Teachers," and infinitely better than "Singles Ward."
I'd probably rank it slightly ahead of Best 2 Years, but this is entirely a Romance/Comedy.
I don't think you have to be Mormon to like this movie.
There are no A- or B-list actors in it, but the writing and directing is good, better than most previous Mormon movies.
As to another reviewer's implication that this movie makes Baptists out to be "the bad guys", just know that the Mormons in the movie get lampooned as much as anyone else. I'm sure there are just as many uptight LDS who cringed at the negative Mormon stereotypes in the movie, as Baptists who cringed at the Baptist stereotypes.
But just like in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", there are stereotypes in all religions and cultures. Part of everyone getting along is laughing at ourselves.
It's just a movie. And a funny one, to boot.
Summary of BAPTISTS AT OUR BARBECUE
From Robert Farrell Smith's best-selling novel comes a hilarious romantic comedy about a town where everybody's nuts...about religion! Tartan (Dan Merkley) is 29, single and Mormon. Tired of being set up by his marriage-conscious mother, Tartan takes a job as a forest ranger in Longfellow, a sleepy town where half the population is LDS, the other half is Baptist, and nobody can get along! Tartan's not the only recent transplant: the beautiful (and single) Charity (Heather Beers) arrives in Longfellow to spend some time away from her ex-fiance. Together Tartan and Charity devise a plan to unite the town by having and All-Faiths Barbecue! Sweet and charming, funny and touching, Baptists At Our Barbecue reminds us all that life is a barbecue to which God has invited everyone. Whom we sit by or pass the salt to is up to us.Similar DVD Movies
