I guess this movie came out quite a while ago. We rented it via Netflix and thought it was one of the funniest things we had seen in a while. It made me laugh the way Napolean Dynamite did. I don't remember it ever coming out in theaters which is too bad. I think the whole pie scene while singing is about the funniest thing I have ever seen. That and the wedding reception song. The actors actually sound really great there like they could have had a career as singers. I also think some of the DVD extras are really funny as well. For example, on the set up, they have English subtitles and Spanish subtitles. That is standard. But they also have an option for Cantonese voice over. You should select it...very funny. Also, a commentary on the commentary...That was also really funny to have. Only complaint about the movie is I am not a huge fan of Will being all over the menu selection. Highly recommended.

I saw this movie yesterday and came to IMDb today to find out more about it. Too bad for the reviewer who did not get it. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I've been hankering to laugh out loud for awhile now and Sons of Provo conjured those wicked barking laughs that surprise ones own self when voiced.Cheers for the excellent, consistent performances by the actors, and thanks for the easy, entertaining story. Though some would make a comparison to a Christopher Guest film...and I guess I am now...I was glad that SoP didn't linger too much on the awkward hilarity of the characters, as I have found some of CG's later films to do. I might really only give this movie a 9 for a few too many distracting uhs and ahs in the dialog, I had to give a 10 to raise the lame 3 offered by the popcorn litterbug. Keep our theaters clean! H

This film is hilarious. There were many moments which paralleled Spiral Tap, which is in a large part its inspiration. The performances are great, with the actors doing their own singing and song writing. Overall a very talented group of people put together a hugely entertaining film with many laugh out loud moments. Done in the Spinal Tap style of a mockumentary, it even parodies this classic in fresh and funny ways. Who new the inner workings of trying to be a successful Christian Boy Band could be so funny? I'm glad somebody thought of it. It should get theatrical play at some point. In the mean time it is definitely checking out in festivals, where it seems to be getting good exposure.

In L.A., I went to a screening of this film (the first projection screening). I arrived just after it started and was surprised at the roars of laughter as I tried to find a seat. After I was seated and watched for a minute, I understood. The characters in this mockumentary were perfect in their innocence; you had to laugh at them. The humor in the dialog (much of it ad libbed) was honest and dry. It moves right along from one situation or gig (some of them real performances) to another, interspersed with interviews with peripheral characters. As a bonus, these guys can really sing. They even scored an interview with a member of the first boy band (at least in the opinion of Everclean).This film was made in Utah by people raised in Mormon families. Luckily, as the director said, Mormons do know how to laugh at themselves. I could not help laughing from the moment I sat down until the last credit rolled.First it was heavy metal, then folk, and now Mormon boy band. This is the next great music mockumentary.If you get a chance to see it, do. Don't miss it.
