The Home Teachers (Special Edition)

Keep in mind that this movie is a COMEDY, which is supposed to make people laugh! And I laughed my butt off from almost the point when the very first scene started and right up to the end. You got the hilarious "big" guy, who is just itching with anticipation for church to end so he can get to the football game on TV which is waiting for him, and trust me, who hasn't thought about hitting the couch after a boring service to watch some good sports? You have the new guy who says the closing prayer in hilariously-slow dialogue, and then the rush to get home from church, even having the teenage daughter grabbing the car out of the parking lot, even though she's too young. He's all settled to enjoy the game before hearing the announcement about having to complete his home teaching by the end of the day, which just so happens to be the end of the month. He moans and groans to try and get out of it, but then even his wife gets him out of the house to do so. You have the long drive all the way out to Vernal, then the mishaps at the funeral, the car running out of gas because his companion is too proud to "buy gas on the Sabbath", and that boring church tape that drones on and on for hours(just like in the Bible)about who begat who and so forth. Not quite the pick of the week to listen to on a long drive like that!!! LOL. I thought the mishap at the house with the flooding toilet and the wedding dress was hilarious. The Amazon critics on here are full of CRAP, whining about it's "distaste" and "unfunny humor." I've watched this movie 27 times, and it's humor is the reason why I wanted to watch it 27 times, then want to spend over $4 on it plus shipping so I can enjoy watching the movie a lot more times in the future. My brother, who never saw it before, watched it with me and thought it was very cool. DON'T LISTEN TO THE STUPID CRITICS! There will be critics for even the best movie ever made on Earth. This movie might not be the best ever made, but it rates among my top 10 comedy movies without a second thought. Sad how such a movie so funny could be given 3 out of 5 stars as an average, but I guess SOME people were just having a bad day, and their type shouldn't be watching comedies in the first place, but rather watching Church movies with people droning on about the same topic in that Bible tape in the movie--"begat this and that, blah, blah, etc." Maybe a movie like that should better suit their taste, and leave the comedies to those who appreciate humor. As a professional movie reviewer, I would give this 9 OUT OF 10 STARS! One star less because it didn't last longer!

You have to be a funny person to appreciate the humor here but if you have a well developed sense of humor (think classics like Nacho Libre, Galaxy Quest, Napoleon Dynamite) then buy this movie and prepare to laugh the kind of deep guttural laughs that add years to your life. Trust me, if I’m describing you, then you know who you are and you want to watch this. I’m not LDS— I just happened to buy this gem on a clearance rack one day by accident and it’s in the top 10 of of my favorites now. My family quotes movie lines from this classic on a regular basis…”Pete was praying.”😂 “fake an injury” and “I was an international clogging champion.” Watch it. Laugh out loud. Feel better. You need this.

This is a hilarious movie

It’s a good show

Not Mormon, funny, and repetitive.

I really liked this movie even though I am not a Latter Day Saint. Sure if you are a Latter Day Saint you can relate to some of the jokes but I thought this was a very funny movie. This is a nice clean movie that you can watch with the family unlike the movies now that you have to worry about the language or content. Get it you won't regret it,

My family loves this movie. One of our favorites in the series of Mormon comedies.

I was very surprised by some of comments by those who gave negative reviews. This is a comedy and it was meant to be over the top. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, many of us have met folks who approach both ends of the spectrum presented by the two main characters. This fact and similar stereotypes are what make these two caricatures so funny. My wife and I were rolling during several of the scenes. Better than some LDS movies (RM, It's Latter-day Night), nearly as good as others (God's Army, Singles Ward, Saints and Soldiers), it's worth a view if you want to have a good laugh.

As usual with Halestorm productions, this is a film by and for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or LDS, better known as the Mormons); in particular this film deals with one particular aspect of LDS life. And so it starts promisingly, with a mismatched pair of "home teachers" set on carrying out their assignments ... but then the film wanders off track with a totally irrelevant road-trip.
