    This film is full of inaccuracies. Firstly, there's no such thing as a "Mormon Evangelist" (they're not called that). Secondly, the haircuts are too long for any missionary from alleged church to be credible. Thirdly, the big rule of thumb for a missionary is to never, never, I repeat NEVER be by yourself. (The woman at the door, also, was stupid to let this person into her house.) Fourthly, the said "evangelists" don't hand out the Holy Bible. This depiction is obviously about a different faith, not the "Mormons" (which, by the way, they refer to themselves as "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.")



    This story line doesn't show that the woman at the door is married, from what I can tell. The dork they have depicting the "man in love" is a social misfit by all accounts and would fall in love with a dog, given the chance. Go figure. This won an award? You've got to be kidding!
