Mobsters and Mormons (2005)

Memorable, crazy movie

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Solid acting, a creative story line, and sharp comedy move this latest addition to the LDS film genre right along. Lead actor DeCarlo couldn't have done a better job as an obnoxious, yet fun to like mafia soldier. Hale Storm Entertainment has had mostly hits for members of the LDS faith, but this film soars passed their previous efforts and delivers a film that appeals to one and all and does not limit itself to members of the LDS church. That is what is so wonderful about this particular installment. The story is about the outside folks, looking in on a very peculiar community. It's a message about getting along and living together as neighborhood and community, not a dogma based preachy film.

I don't know how I managed to sit through this unfunny, blah, unworthy to be called cinema, piece of dry granola. I guess just so that I could give it a fair review, HA!Nothing funny at all in this, all I have to say is latter day saints have way too much money on their hands, to just start making propaganda movies. Oh well everybody does it. Every character in the movie was annoying and you just feel bad for the poor wannabe be bishop brother who just seems to be living in the middle of the most uncomfortable neighborhood in America. I guess you can't really blame the LDS's for not having a sense of humor, so if this movie helps them chill a bit all the better.I'm just posting this here as a warning for the Unfaithful, if you wanna see a good film starring LDS's watch Trey Parkers "Orgazmo" (1997) now that's a decent film!OK now this must be some worthwhile review!!! because it's the one with the worst ranking on my puny list

I thought it was a great film... Check your gun in at the door. Where else can you find the Goomba's laughing out loud with the Mormon's ? HaleStorm and John Moyer have a winner with this one. If you enjoyed "The Singles Ward" or "The RM" Mark DeCarlo did a super job as BEANS seeing things through his eyes was a trip . This is a film the whole family can enjoy.Its all about the FAMILY! You will truly have a good laugh with "Mobsters And Mormons" I think this is the only Mobster movie that has ever come out with a PG rating.Now thats funny!!!!! Dis here movie could save yous from a cement canoe ride!Go see the film.

This movie was not just entertaining and funny; it had a surprisingly good message around the theme of not judging others. The soundtrack and opening sequence were surprisingly of a professional quality. And Mark DeCarlo's rendition/version of the kids' story "The Three Little Pigs" was completely hilarious. Jan Broberg Felt, who plays a stuck on herself Mormon gossip, is a great actress. Mark DeCarlo by far carries the acting and humor, but the other supporting actors complement him well. I was especially impressed by Clayton Taylor and the girl (cannot remember her name) who plays his "love" interest. They play their parts convincingly.My only complaint for the movie was that the pacing in the storyline seemed off at times. Other than that, it was very well done.I think someone has found a happy medium in the LDS genre--a movie that's not over-cooked or under-done; it's just about right.
