The Book of Mormon Movie
Noah Dalton Danby, the actor who played Nephi, had never read the Book of Mormon before making this film. Before the end of the project, he was preparing for baptism and dating Jacque Gray, the actress who played Terza, Nephi's Wife.,Nephi (among others) is clean-shaven in 6th-century B.C. Jerusalem.

I'm not a mormon, although I have read the book of mormon several times prior to seeing the movie, so I understood the storyline. However, my worst fears were realized when I actually saw this film. The acting was flat, and unintentionally funny at times. I really had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing once or twice. It felt like the filmmaker was trying to go for a massive cinema experience, but it just didn't work. It didn't flow like I had hoped. Overall, it just felt like a B-movie, and I left the theater wishing I could've gone back in time so that I wouldn't have to see it.

I suppose that people interested in seeing this film will do so, one way or the other, but I'd suggest watching something else instead. Besides, it will inevitably be shown on TV in Salt Lake eventually, and at least you won't have to pay to see it then.,
