But, as far as I know, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are the only two groups that proscletize door-to-door. And the guys in the movie were not like Jehovahs.

And it's a become a commonly known thread for young Mormon missionary men to sew some serious wild oats when away from home on their missionarying.

I have no doubt that they were Mormon or "Mormon-like" as that the is the stereotypical image of evangelicals send abroad (though JW's do that too). Just letting CP know that the word and position are more broad than she tought.

I loved how you could see hints of their "special underwear" through their white shirts. Those kinds of details make a film wonderful.

Hahahaah - An Oscars First!!!

For the first time in my roughly 40 years of watching the Academny Awards, I'll likely care most about the Best Animated and Live-Action Shorts contests.

For those who didn't see it, the text playing behind Melissa Etheridge is straight form the part of the movie where the song was played.
