The Best Two Years

The great thing about this movie is that the typical low-budget Halestorm production values are upgraded to non-Mormon movie standards. The acting, while at times as cheesy as a plate of macaroni, is still pretty good. I purchased this video for my 15 year old nephew who will soon be planning his mission.It's my favorite because it's the most sincere and well-scripted having been written as a play first. It is filmed mostly on location and is funny and touching.I recommend this film for a wide audience.

Perfect Sunday movie for our family. We love to see the change that happens to the senior companion in this movie. The actor who plays the greenie (Colby something) is the best. I love his character. Love his southern accent.There were some parts that reminded me of my mission but I'll be honest... it's very Hollywood-ized.Still love the movie though and will watch it again and again

Kirby's character is hilarious. Realistic missionary movie. Good soundtrack.

This movie is FANTASTIC! But the video quality of the digital purchase really is awful. Just to be sure, I compared it with other SD digital movies, and the others are far better. So don't miss the movie, but find another place to watch. (Big kudos to Amazon, however, who refunded my purchase with lightning speed.)

I am taking lessons from the Elders now and I will be baptised into the LDS church in one week. I just love the Elders that come to my house to teach me. They are fun and funny but most emportant they are such a blessing to me. I rented the movie after going to Fireside and learning all that goes into the missionaries. I was interested in learning more about it from their side. This movie did not disapoint me. It shows the heartaches they go through being away from home for two years. It shows them struggle with their calling. It shows how one person can change the life and direction of someone else. It also is a reminder for us to remember why we are Mormons and why it matters for us to share our beliefs even when life feels hard.

Was definitely written by an R.M. Movie exceeded my expectations.

The Best Two Years is the best of the Halestorm series that began with The Single's Ward. Once again, perenial favorite Kirby Heyborn is the nice guy in a situation surrounded by people like the rest of us. The great thing about this movie is that the typical low-budget Halestorm production values are upgraded to non-Mormon movie standards. The acting, while at times as cheesy as a plate of macaroni, is still pretty good. I purchased this video for my 14 year old nephew who will soon be planning his mission. The part where the disenchanted missionary realizes why he went to Holland--priceless. The acting is much better in that scene than in previous Halestorm movies such as, The Single's Ward, but The Home Teachers also had a great epiphany scene that wasn't bad.The problems with coming out of the MTC and going right into a foreign-speaking mission are well drawn.It's my favorite because it's the most sincere and well-scripted having been written as a play first. It is filmed mostly on location and is funny and touching.The "slugging for curses" bit is right on target.I recommend this film for a wide audience.

Good story, funny movie.
