With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes corsets, castles and court intrigue and families, this one's for you. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. Shelve it next to O.J.: Made in America or They Shall Not Grow Old.
- The mood
- Feel-good, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 28 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
With a divine answer to a humble prayer at age 14, Joseph Smith began to fulfill his inspired mission. He translated the ancient Book of Mormon and restored the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ. Many flocked to the American frontier to worship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, led by the Prophet Joseph's dynamic and courageous example. Unstopped by his martyrdom at age 38, Joseph's legacy continues today in the dedicated lives of Saints throughout the world who still sing; "Praise to the Man who Communed with Jehovah!"
