    Captures a breathtaking exotic landscape cluttered only by the smugness of its characters.

    A tad preachy and more than a little bit sanctimonious.

    The film is supposed to be about tolerance, but the only acceptance comes in terms of how the islanders accept the Mormon teachings. Somehow, that doesn't quite feel divine.

    It was a wonderful movie but it makes me homesick for my Island.

    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.… Expand
