Movie Reviews of The Other Side of Heaven
Movie Review: Great Film, Unfairly treated!
Summary: 5 Stars
Why is this movie getting such bad press (and such little publicity). It's a great film that deserves to have national popularity for it's inspiration and great story. Why is everyone having a cow over all the new mormon flicks. There are lot's of Cathlic and Jewish flicks all over the place. It's is only natural for Mormon movies to start poping up considering that Their church is now the fifth largest in the nation and spreding fast everywhere in the world. I think the mormons deserve some credit and mutual respect for their belifs. It took the world a long time to warm up to them and discover the truth behind the lies and steryotypes. Now let's just calm down and get to know them. They're great people and I say that the movie is great too.Movie Review: Inspiring Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say this movie was not what I thought it would be, but I was not disapointed. We picked it up because Anne Hathaway was in it and we thought it would be a cute romance our girls would enjoy. Anne Hathaway was barely in the movie, even though she was used heavily to promote it. I kept having to remind myself that it was based on the memoirs of a real person because some of it seemed so fantastical, but anyone with faith in their God can get past that. I was so moved by this story I found myself telling people they needed to watch it. I usually just say " it was good" or whatever. If you have a problem with the fact that the main character is Mormon, then pretend they are Presbyterian or Baptist, etc. Everyone has missionaries!Movie Review: A Must See..... One of the years best
Summary: 5 Stars
I came to The Other Side of Heaven with no expections having read reviews that critized the film for not building toward a climax. Let me tell you those critics are WRONG big time on this one. This is one of the most entertaining and inspiring films to come along in some time. It has a nice blend of drama and comedy, and it is refreshing to go to a movie without violence, sex, and foul language for a change. The characters are developed wonderfully, and the score, and cinematography are excellent. It's too bad this movie is produced by a small studio because that will probably keep it from receiving the Oscar consideration it deserves. I found this movie much more entertaining and inspiring than A Beautiful Mind.Movie Review: An Epic Spritual Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not LDS either, but they couldn't have done a better casting job! Gorham and Hathaway are perfect for thier roles!The passion and compassion that Gorham brings to the character of John Groberg is timless! This movie gives one a new respect for missionaries regardless of faith. The special features are great too! This is a movie that the whole family can watch over and over. The only thing that disappoints me is the other reviews themsleves; particularly the one from "Chris in California" who uses his review as a thoughtles attack on Mormons everywhere. This is America where all faiths should be respected! I'm suprised that Amazon would allow this thoughtless smear to be posted on thier webaite! A shame!Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say I am LDS and I did love this movie. Any one that says it's a propaganda movie is full of it. It's a wonderful movie made by Disney with non LDS actors. It tells the story of Elder John Groberg and some of his experinces in the Tonga mission. It doesn't preach LDS ideals. I had a strong southern baptist member tell me the movie made them cry. It was seen in theaters and is a great movie. If you want to see a movie that shows enduring to the end and compassionate love, this is your movie. It's the simple story of a simple man doing what he belives is right and trying to help other people. If only more people in hollywood would make more movies like this. What a better place the world would be.
