Passage to Zarahemla

Post by _Gazelam »

Got a flyer for this at my local Deseret Book. It doesent look too horrible. I never read the "Tennis shoes among the Nephites" books, did any of you?

I've seen the previews. Believe me, it looks horrible.

There's no way that chick could wear garments with that outfit. I regard her with suspicion outright.

I agree. Obviously she hasnt been through the temple. From the preview she has some issues with her parents, so her mother hasnt been around to counsel her on appropriate dress.

I just watched the trailer and......huh?

Who sat down one day and thought this was a good idea? And why do Nephites always speak fluent English?

And couldn't the small town people in Utah get their guns and fight the Lamanites? Gaping plot holes. :)

If this is anything like the Book of Mormon Movie, I pray (PRAY) that it doesn’t end up at my local movie store. I’m still embarrassed that non-Mormons may have seen that tripe.

a number of years ago I read the Tennis Shoe books to my kids. They were light books that were sort of fun.

Who cares?

I think she's hot. Hell, I'd pretend I was converting for her.

IN addition, I really like the Production Company's name. What was it, Hummerthedinger or something like that?

I read the series of books 10+ years ago. If I recall correctly they were good simple fiction. I suppose it helped that I believed in real nephites and lamanites at the time. From what I've heard the movie isn't that bad.
