"Meet the Mormons" has now officially joined the list of the 158 worst rated movies since 1957 (and that's a lot of cinema). It now joins other stinkers like "Troll 2: In Space" "They Saved Hitler's Brain" and "Police Academy 5: Assignment Miami Beach."
Every reviewer from the New York Times to the Salt Lake Tribune agrees that this movie is simply an extended infomercial: A slick production that does not confront the more “controversial aspects” of the religion’s past.
Our Church has never done well when we open ourselves up to outside objective examination (Book of Abraham papyri, Kinderhook Plates, DNA, etc.). It now appears Church-produced cinema is no exception.Editors Addition: Not even "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or "Plan 9 from Outer Space" were as bad as "Meet the Mormons"... A movie by Mormons, for Mormons...
Extremely favorable reviews from audiences were in stark contrast to generally negative reviews from critics; the film currently holds an 11% rating from critics but a 92% rating from audience submissions, per review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.
