Running time: 26 minutes
Rating: unrated
Genre: Drama

This review works best if you have seen this film before, though that is not required.

Never find out why mom dropped dead
How does a middle aged woman go from tucking her kids in the night before, to stone dead the following morning? I am not a doctor, but I did a little research, and I’m willing to go out on a limb here that mom died from steadying an ark…

Uncle Ben is yet another church movie with a mysterious death. This film reminds me of Cypher in the Snow and the Mailbox where people just die suddenly as a convenient plot device.

No explicit COJCOLDS elements in this film, probably in an effort to make this more appealing to a broad non-LDS audience.

Released in a set
https://ldsfilms.fandom.com/wiki/Uncle_Ben

I would love to see a modern remake of this film, but with Uncle Ben’s booze problem replaced by coffee. #Lucifer’sBean

Final Thoughts
But seriously, this film does send a simple, down to earth good message of the importance of taking care of family and the benefits of avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.

Running time: 3 minutes
Rating: unrated
Genre: Religious Drama
Filmstrip:

Spoiler alert
We will watch this filmstrip together while we make insightful and occasionally irreverent commentary.

Let’s make a small digression, we are going to give you a two for one on this review
in the April 2007 General Conference, Relief Society President Julie Beck laid down the law regarding how Mormons are to view obedience to restrictions on Coffee in regards to eternal exaltation. And this has become one of the most legendary general conference anecdotes in Mormon history and is less than two minutes long.

EP 65 - The Home Teachers (2004)
Running time: 80 minutes
Genre: A religious comedy
Rated: PG

Synopsis
"The Home Teachers" is a delightful 2004 Mormon comedy film directed by Kurt Hale. The story revolves around two mismatched home teachers, Greg and Nelson, who are assigned to visit and support a struggling family in their congregation.

Greg, played by Michael Birkeland, is a well-meaning but somewhat clumsy and disorganized individual, while Nelson, portrayed by Jeff Birk, is a meticulous and by-the-book perfectionist. Despite their differences, the two are paired together as home teaching companions and tasked with the responsibility of uplifting and assisting the Callister family.

The Callisters, consisting of the father Jared, played by Kirby Heyborne, and his two daughters, Sarah and Rachel, are facing a variety of challenges in their lives. Jared, a single father, is struggling to balance his job and parental responsibilities, while his daughters are dealing with typical teenage issues such as school, relationships, and self-esteem.

As Greg and Nelson attempt to fulfill their home teaching duties, they find themselves in a series of hilarious and awkward situations, often due to Greg's clumsiness and Nelson's rigid adherence to protocol. Despite their best efforts, their visits to the Callister household seem to only exacerbate the family's problems rather than solve them.

However, as they continue to interact with the Callisters, Greg and Nelson begin to realize that their presence and friendship are making a positive impact on the family. Through their genuine concern and willingness to listen, they are able to provide much-needed support and encouragement to Jared and his daughters.

"The Home Teachers" is a heartwarming and humorous film that highlights the importance of community, friendship, and compassion. It emphasizes the idea that sometimes, the greatest help we can offer to others is simply being there for them and showing them that they are not alone in their struggles.

With its endearing characters, witty humor, and heartfelt message, "The Home Teachers" is a charming cinematic experience that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds, regardless of their religious affiliation. It reminds us that even in the midst of life's challenges, laughter and friendship can be powerful sources of strength and comfort.

Conclusion
The RM is hilarious, and the singles ward is funny, but the apple fell far from the tree when it comes to the home teachers. I recently spoke with Jim Bennett who plays a small role in the movie, and even he acknowledges that it is a bad film.
