Howard Y. gave it a9:
I very much enjoyed this movie, as it DID provide wholesome family entertainment that refrained from the use of violence, sex, or profanity. However, I feel that I must point out to those who did not enjoy the movie, that this was not "Mormon" propaganda, as no one forced you to watch this, and that the film was intended, not limited to, but for Mormons. It was a film that was intended to tell a story about service and self-sacriice, not one of preachiness or "propaganda".

It was a wonderful movie but it makes me homesick for my Island.
Timothy S. gave it a10:
I thought this movie was more than preaching about LDS (mormon) view points; is a good old fashion movie about faith, hope and love and I think its to bad that the anti-mormon/christian media cannot accept a wholesom movie that is lacking in sex, violence and profanity.

Patronizing, obviously fictional bull!@#$. I agree with most of the real critics on this one.
Scott P. gave it a10:
How his feet were treated (medical) by the local Tongan people. was my favorite part. Then all he went through to get there, what faith he must of had to know all would work out.
Tongan N. gave it a0:
I was so angrey when at the funural on the movie the lady cried and creid then fliped over and asked " is the pudding ready." What do they think we are fat, unthoughtful people? This truly affected me and im only 13.
