Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

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.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Mobsters and Mormons started off with a scene that brought me back to the first time I watched Pulp Fiction. Mark DeCarlo took the place of Samuel Jackson and his buddies got to play something of an even more inept John Travolta. The entire opening bit was great, as far as I am concerned. The movie just seems to lose its steam after Mark DeCarlo's character, Carmine, and his family are relocated to Utah.Almost every single person they meet out in the land of salt flats and Mormons seems to be portrayed by an actor that hardly knows their part. The only two characters I really felt anything for, outside of the "Cheeseman" family, were Julie (played by Olesya Rulin) and her brother, Michael. (played by Scott Christopher) While this is probably because their characters were the two outside of the "Cheeseman" family that experienced the most development over the course of the movie, (I might even go out on a limb and say they were the ONLY characters to be developed) I still think that there were plenty of chances to flesh out other members of the community that were not taken advantage of.Spoilers Ahead -On top of all of this, the story was all too predictable. Now, this isn't always a bad thing, but it definitely was in this case. The only thing that happened which surprised me was the fact that their family didn't end up moving to the Philippines at the end of the movie. The only thing that saved this movie from the pitfalls of the story were the aforementioned actors efforts to believably play their roles throughout, which actually managed to tug on my heartstrings a little bit.Overall a decent movie, definitely not something I will watch often, if I ever watch it again at all.

Another dismally predictable LDS comedy. Yet this is still better than "The Singles Ward" or "The RM" because this one actually looks and feels different, while most Halestorm movies are identical in look and style.It only took eighteen days to shoot this eye-rolling piece of junk. Quite frankly, the rushed production shows in the actors' moronic delivery, cheap attempts at improv, and the looks on their faces (one wonders, in fact, if the look on Carmine's face means get him out of Utah or get him out of the movie). This movie only preserves the idea that there could never be a good Mormon movie, because so far, there hasn't.And the clichés-- shudder shudder! Not only does the LDS church take a fearful beating, but every dreadful mob-movie pattern is also used past death, making this film offensive to Mormons, non-Mormons, and Italian-Americans! This movie is hideous and should really be avoided at all costs.

First of all, I liked the movie. But there were times I just felt like crying rather than laughing. It's just too stupid at times. The movie could have been so much better! I didn't like the fact that we never heard about the Mormons beliefs(I find them the silliest in the world), but I guess people in the US wouldn't be ready for some "making fun of a religion." However, the movie manages to show two opposite sides of a spectrum; mobster and Mormon, angry VS happy, good VS evil...continue to tired...Overall: OK+ movie, because it makes me want a Mormon girl, teach her a thing or two about life AND sex!

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.
