Highly Overrated But Still Good

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

First of all, you should be aware that this is a movie made BY faithful Mormons ABOUT Mormons--but it IS a comedy!Two Mormon missionaries--the guys in the suits--are misidentified as mafia by members of the mob itself, and by the feds.Is it a low-budget film? Yes. Is it devoid of any actors whose names are familiar to you? Yes. But it does a nice job with what was available!Yes, you will see the Mormon faith treated with great respect, but the "preaching" that some have referenced is really very sparse; given the plot point of the missionaries trying to convert two members of the mob, it's nearly unavoidable.There is no sex, and no offensive language. There is a bit of violence, but nobody gets killed...and in the end, the "good guys" win anyway.If you can put up with a very little bit of Mormon teaching and preaching, some punches being thrown, and a few non-lethal gunshots, it's a pretty good family comedy.

Deserves a one star, but I didn't want to be perceived as mean or "anti-Morman." The premise sounded promising, but the actual script was dull and kind of dopey, not funny. What you should know before watching: 1. Made in Utah 2. For and about Mormans 3. On a Budget of $175,000 That tells you something.I'll watch a Mormon in Polynesia, a Mormon Western, or "Big Love" and enjoy it. Mormons are hilarious! But this is cheaply made, and lacks the main ingredient that a decent comedy must have: COMEDY...I don't write reviews, I just felt I should issue a warning to SAVE YOU so you don't waste an hour and turn it off like I had to. Amen.

With a cast of people that I guarantee you never heard of the missionary experience is given yet another look in Inspired Guns. In fact in his last week as a missionary elder David Lassetter is given a fresh new missionary to break in.If Lassetter thought he was going to coast on out he was sadly mistaken. Quite frankly if I had to break in Dashiell Wolf I might have constantly repeated to myself I'm out of here in a week, he's someone else's problem. Yet that last week proves to be one wild ride with the two guys getting involved with a final baptism, some Latino gang members and the entrails of the Mafia.Christian Blusath and Jake Suozo pay a pair of Blobbsey twin Mafia wannabes. I have to say these two were very funny, hopefully someone noticed might want to team them again. They get involved with the missionaries and no one can believe these two are that dumb. They should have been whacked on general principle to prevent them from ever multiplying.Inspired Guns is hardly a great film, but it has its moments and more than an LDS audience should like it.

My wife and I watched this movie the other night. I had a little reservations since it didn't have the greatest movie review rating. However, we loved this movie. Kind of a movie that you can just laugh. Not every movie has to have an exceptionally deep meaning, or every movie definitely does not have to have disgusting and inappropriate comments to be funny. I guess the masses may think so, but it was refreshing watching a funny movie that was not full of filth in an attempt to be funny. 'Inspired Guns' reminded me of the funny slap stick movies or TV shows of years past, like Andy Griffith. Why can't we have more movies like this instead of the types that are tainting our very minds with filth and violence. We loved this movie and told everyone we knew to watch it.
