In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I recognize that Mr. Cowan when he created this documentary was attempting to take on the Mormon church with a personal hatred that you could almost taste while watching this film. However just because he thought that horrible tales of genital mutilation and BYU would somehow prove his point doesn't make it so. It felt that Mr. Cowan's main agenda was to attempt to make us all hate Mormons with a mix of accurate facts and wildly grossly inaccurate disgusting hate speech. As far as Mormon's and the LGBT community, I'll admit the relationship is tenuous at best however to persecute and single out Mormon's as the only people to support proposition 8 is both short sided an inaccurate. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

8:THE MORMON PROPOSITION provides a blue print as to how Big Money in one state orchestrated the outcome of a propositional ballot in two other states. Out of state Mormon influence and money flooded two state campaigns, Hawaii and California, and managed to sway the election to their political and religious agenda. This film emphatically demonstrates how this type of foreign influence strikes at the heart of the American democratic process. Regardless of your personal beliefs on the Gay Rights Issue, this film is really more about how our system of elections can be subverted by deceptively diabolical political marketing practices. Clearly, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is acting as a political action committee, and this form of ethical extortion by a rich and powerful tax exempt organization needs to be stopped. Supreme Court, where are you?

Though this movie brought up valid points towards how religion takes too much of a "front seat" approach to bringing their own clouded views to a political issue as gay marriage, most of the movies "knowledge" of the Mormon church was greatly misleading. I being a Mormon myself do support gay marriage. Unfortunately this movie is little about being pro gay anything and more about masking a church's belief into a 1939 Nazi propaganda film. This whole notion that was forced throughout the film on how the Mormons are easily brainwashed into believing anything that's told to them by the church is ridiculous. The majority of the time watching this I cringed on how wrong they got the Mormon teachings and added nonsense that would be found in the mind of George Lucas. I gravitated to this film on the notion it would talk more about the issues of gay marriage and church standings, but unfortunately it turned into a religious bashing almost halfway through it. I will say I enjoyed the beginning where they did show how the Mormon church's involvement in banning gay marriage in Hawaii, but turned stale when they attempted to dive deeper into the Mormon belief and psyche. See it if you're curious but I doubt you would get anything out of it, if you're smart enough not to believe the "Religious" part.

Its so obvious a hate film. And cowardly. But never the less ingenious to change the focus from "right or wrong" to accusations. Funny how you haven't heard about your fake government advising churches what to preach but some idiot makes a movie about how horrible it is for a church to lead its members. The majority of Americans are Conservative wither you like it or not. It is pathetic and weak and typical of liberals to be loud and to attack one group for standing for there beliefs when the majority of Americans have the same belief. Obama has emboldened you anti-Americans...... but the sleeping giant has awakened and America WILL BE RESTORED.
