Watch Saturday's Warrior For Free

Wonderfully offbeat film!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I've seen this movie numerous times over the years and own the DVD.It shows the LDS beliefs in simplistic way which can be easier for some people as it can be so very different to traditional faiths. The idea of being a family from the pre-existence through to the after-life is so appealing and is shown beautifully in this movie.Also the idea that even though we have flaws in our characters, family life is so important and family can help us through anything.It shows that love conquers all things and even if we choose to go our own way, Our family will still want us back.This might be idealistic but it seems such a wonderful way to live.Yes, it's a little outdated in costume etc but it's more than 20 years on from it's conception. The story it tells is ageless.

This play, like Barney, is one of those things that lots of people liked, but few will admit to having liked. It's truly a classic, and is a must-see for anyone interested in Mormon cinema, Mormon culture, or Mormon history. It's also such a part of Mormon lore that that it's kind of part of the basic curriculum of Mormon culture.Aside from its historical value. It's really much better than most people will admit. Although the plot isn't very interesting, the songs are so fun that they make up for it. All the songs are really catchy (they're by Lex De Azevedo). And though there are doctrinally dubious aspects, it's got a lot of good, wholesome teachings.So the songs are a 10/10, plot is 4/10, wholesome message is 9/10, and importance to Mormon culture is 9/10

This is a fun movie with a good score. The 1989 hair/clothes/etc. are fun to see for those of us who actually went to high school in the 80's. The themes/plots of this story are very specific to LDS theology, and probably wouldn't be appreciated by those outside the faith, as review by "jazzapostle" indicates. Jazzapostle had a hard time differentiating between the movie and LDS theology, and would probably be better off intelligently criticizing movies instead offensively criticizing other people's religions. It would also be helpful, if commenting on other people's beliefs, to get their facts straight. Thanks!

As somebody who grew up watching this movie, knows practically every song and can pretty much act out the entire script, this might be a bit biased, but please bear with me. The movie is about family above all. A brother promises his sister before he is born that he will make sure that she is born into their to-be large family. But when he's born, the veil is pulled over his mind and he forgets. The movie follows many subplots involving the other kids in the family as well as the parents and some of the kids' friends. But the main focus is on the older brother as he strays from the beliefs of his family and how he finds his way in life. True, the movie plays out like a community theatre project, but that doesn't make the film any less than any high-budget blockbusters out there.It's a good family movie, and has many opportunities for children to ask their parents about some of the topics involved: religious beliefs, family problems that the characters are faced with, peer pressure, and romantic relationships, to name a few. You may love it (like me), you might hate it, you may or may not agree with everything, but at least give it a try.
