I felt compelled to write this after reading some of the negative reviews for Baptists at our Barbecue. I bought this DVD on a whim at Hollywood Video and it was just a lot of fun to watch.Yes, it's clearly... Full review

Movie about a small town with equal numbers of Mormons and Baptists. New family moves in, cue the overwritten dialog, mediocre acting, green jello salad with shredded carrots, and every other 'inside Mormon joke' known to man. Anyone outside the... Full review

This movie was awful. I had a very difficult time watching this all the way through. I didn't get the point of the movie. What was the point of this movie? The soundtrack was bad, acting was bad and the... Full review

I may not be mormon, but I LOVED this movie. It's cute, clean, and well worth watching. Not to mention, Tartan isn't too hard on the eyes either! Although the movie starts out somewhat slow, the love story soon comes... Full review

There were a few funny moments where I did actually laugh out loud. Mostly I found myself hard to get into the movie though. The character development was weak. I was disappointed with most of the acting even from the main... Full review

Very predictable sceneros, but delightful characters who play their roles with enthusiam. The subtle humor is worth watching 2 or 3 times more. It's a feel good ending that we can all get along together, regardless of religion. I loved the... Full review

Baptists at Our Barbecue is a movie apparently produced primarily for a Mormon audience. By way of example, there are any number of inside jokes and references that Gentiles will probably miss entirely, a stark contrast to Garrison Keillor's Lake... Full review

Not really a great movie, or a great use of talent, and the portrayal of the Church and the situation in the town was unbelievable and ridiculous, BUT: it had its very funny moments, and was clean. The underlying theme... Full review

Baptists at Our Barbecue" is rated PG for a couple of scenes of violence (fisticuffs and brawling, done mostly for laughs), some mildly vulgar humor involving bodily functions and use of some creative profanity. In addition, the cast is appealing and genial enough to put a smile on your face. ... Full Review

It's an amiable film, kind of funny in places, not too irritating when it's not funny....I do recall with fondness how vivacious and entertaining Heather Beers was when she played the title role in "Charly" two years ago.....Based on the light-hearted novel by Robert Farrell Smith, the film is set in the tiny Southwestern town of Longfellow, renamed "Longwinded" by its citizens..... ...

Writer-director Christian Vuissa (who made the LDS romantic comedy Baptists at Our Barbecue) nicely captures the day-to-day toil of missionary work. And Vuissa, born in Austria and schooled at BYU, is blessed with the beautiful scenery of Austria's mountains and ancient cities - and that scenery gets quite a workout, as Sister Taylor is transferred from Vienna to Salzburg to Graz and back frequently. ...
