Description:
This funny, touching, romantic comedy focuses on the single life of a group of young Latter-day Saints. It shows that being LDS and single can be as funny as it is unique. Audiences will laugh as they are reminded of the defining moments that make up single life for young Mormons. This movie, hilarious at times, will leave you smiling and talking all night long. Anyone who is or ever has been an LDS Single will thoroughly LOVE this movie! There are numerous cameo appearances throughout the movie by Steve Young, Coach La Vell Edwards & Coach Ron McBride, Shawn Bradley, Danny Ainge, Gordon Jump, Wally Joyner, Thurl Bailey, Richard Dutcher, and Utah’s own Ruth Hale. This DVD has many special features that aren't offered on the VHS tape. The DVD has music videos, outtakes, interactive dating games, and other LDS movie trailers.. among other things! You'll be glad you got the DVD.

Mormon Prophet Admits He Believes in Another Christ - Not the Traditional Jesus
By James K. Walker
Paris, France - In a surprising admission during last month's three nation European speaking trip, Mormon president Gordon B. Hinckley stated that the Christ he believes in is not the same Christ as the one followed by those outside the LDS Church.
Hinckley quoted unnamed critics of the LDS Church who claim that Mormons do not believe in the traditional Christ and then he agreed with them.
The LDS Church News reported: "In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints 'do not believe in the traditional Christ. No, I ... Read More

You don't have to be a Mormon to enjoy Singles Ward. The humor is good. The story is engrossing and it's well made. If you enjoy Singles Ward you'll also like "The R.M." and "Sons Of Provo".

Although I am no longer a member of the L.D.S. faith, and their doctrine will always seem "off the wall" to me, I found this movie to be very enjoyable. This is a "mainstream" comedy that emphasizes the more normal side of the L.D.S. religion. This is the only L.D.S. based movie that I have enjoyed watching (and the only L.D.S. based movie that is worth watching). The soundtrack of the L.D.S. "primary" songs in the movie are wonderfully sung in a positive, upbeat manner. This is definitely worth your time and money. Enjoy!

I know many people who get quite defensive when I tell them of my dislike for the movie, "The Singles Ward." Right away, I hear things like, "It's people like you who give good movies a bad name," or "Oh sure! And I suppose a Hollywood movie, with plenty of swearing and potty humor, would have been better?"
To set the record straight, I love movies that are void of curse words and/or potty humor. In fact, I'll gladly watch a Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant movie anyday over most of the crap movies Hollywodd puts out nowadays. But just because a movie script is clean, doesn't instantly make it high quality, and an example of this is, "The Singles Ward."
The premise sounds interesting enough. A divorced man tries to find his way back into the LDS Church via the singles scene. But this is what dissapointed me the most about, "The Singles Ward" is that it could have been a whole lot better.
Each and every character in this film is so one-dimensional that it was almost painful to watch. The two main characters for example, Jonathan and Cammie, just felt like Utah-LDS stereotypes. And at times, the supporting cast almost seemed like a bunch of robots, just going through the motions of how the outside world views LDS Church members.
Towards the end of this film, there are several moments where the focus turns from comedic to dramatic, but I felt this just made the movie worse. It's almost as if the director was apoligizing for how bad ... Read More

I am a Mormon and I grew up in the church.Even if we don't have any Singles Ward in this country,we can still relate about the agony when it comes to finding an eternal companion.And what's great about this movie is that it pokes fun at our frustrations,without being preachy.There are lots of genuinely funny moments in this movie,including the ones when Jonathan is doing "stand up comedy" (Seven Brides and One Brother!) and when he was caught by his friends talking alone,etc.
I dont think we should treat this movie too seriously.Though this movie will inspire us and will remind us about how "cool" it is to be a Mormon,this is mainly a romantic comedy,its not necessary (at least in this movie) to include all the teachings of our church.
I think this is the best Mormon Movie so far (haven't seen "The Best Two Years" and "Home Teachers" though)."The RM" is really great too I highly recommend it.I didnt like "Charly" and "The Other Side of Heaven" that much.
