This video has an uplifting message which helped me to feel a greater Closeness to my family, plus the peaceful reassurance that there is someone who cares; so very much about us - which words cannot portray adequately enough. Though with the understanding of that simple sweet truth, it reminds us to endeavor; by always striving to - fill the void in the lives of the many heartbroken people that we come into close contact with everyday - and not, to just let these opportunity pass us by. This movie 'Saturday's Warrior' is great and that is how it touched me... I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Good for viewers of all ages. I gave this theatrical, musical a 10/10.

I've watched this movie since I was little and I love it. The main character Jimmy faces problems lots of us face today. He is struggling to know who he is and where he belongs. He hangs with his "cool" friends who make fun of his big family and are just a really bad influence.Hes to the point where he is losing his faith and feeling lost. But his family never gives up on him. They love him and want him to be happy. The songs are very meaningful and touch right to the heart. this movie will make you laugh and cry and then laugh again. Its not just for mormons, anyone who believes in God would appreciate this movie.

My kids definitely don't consider this their favorite movie, but they do enjoy watching it. It has always sparked in them the desire to think and dream of what more there is to this life than just getting up, going to work and then going to bed.It has sparked some very good questions about religious issues and the meaning of the title. I'm surprised how much they know just from watching this movie. I'd say that this movie has some good songs, but a few are downright boring. I own the CD too and I burned only the good songs to a CD for my daughters because they couldn't stand the others.My final comment is that if you are tired of your kids hearing about E.D., sex, herpes, sex, erections, sex, STDs, sex, Cialis, sex, sex, and sex during commercials and TV shows, this is a great movie regardless of your religion. I mean, I even have to mute the commercials in the middle of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition because I don't want my kids hearing, "If you have an erection for longer than 4 hrs. . . ". It seems that nobody stands up for decency any more. We just sit by cowardly and act as if it's no big deal.

I'll admit first of all that I loved the play. I saw it twice with different casts (one was the original). I had the soundtrack and played it all of the time when I was a Mormon missionary in the 80's. I still remember the words to all of the songs.I caught the video of this the first time a few years back on the BYUTV channel and was hooked again. Yes, the acting has problems at times. Yes, I only give it a seven (because the original stage play was a ten and the second touring company was an 8). Yes, the special effects are kind of hokey. It does, however, have the ability to reel you in and make you care about the characters.My son loves this video and sings along with all of the songs. He loves Kessler and Green.I recommend this as a good FHE flick. Avoid, however, Starchild. It was the sequel that did not transfer well to video and has real sound problems.
