Saturday's Warrior

The movie has a good message for any Christian out there. Good music as well. There are some issues with over acting and the dubbing over the music, but besides that it's a good movie

I went to see this movie last night not having seen the original production. If the original was anywhere near as enjoyable as this version I am sad that I have been missing out. Kenny Holland is truly a great up and coming actor that will surely be a star. The piano solo during the end credits was so moving and passionate. This movie made me laugh with some very well timed and placed comical scenes and it made me cry more than once (don't tell my wife). Nothing but possative things to say about this great production and I look forward to seeing Kenny rise into more outstanding roles through his career. The entire cast really have out done themselves with a great story for all to enjoy.

I watched Saturdays Warrior for the first time last night. Kenny Holland was outstanding in his acting and singing performance. This film actually made me laugh, cry, and feel so many other emotions. The entire cast did a great job and I will definitely see this movie again. My wife and kids also loved this film and want to see it again as soon as possible. Thank you to the entire cast and crew for making my family movie night a wonderful experience that my kids will cherish and remember throughout their lives. I hope that more people get to experience and share how wonderful this production of Saturdays Warrior really is. I realize this is an LDS based film but even non LDS viewers will enjoy what this film has to offer. Please share this movie with anyone you care about so the story can be told and told the right way.

Some of the best musical talent the LDS church has to offer went into this remake of Saturday's Warrior about a Mormon kid who goes rock star for a bit and then returns to the home and hearth of his Mormon family.

I'm afraid however this will not be any kind of evangelizing tool for the church. That pre-birth prologue where you see the 7 kids before being born into the Flinders family is all quite rational with one brought up in that belief system. But it's unintelligible to a Gentile like myself. Ditto for one of the Flinders who has fallen in love with pre-birth version of her intended and no doubt the powers above say there's an intended for all of us.

The music is nice and the 70s fashions are a bit of nostalgia. But strictly for LDS audiences.

It must be a technical challenge to get it right, but the bad dubbing/lip- syncing made this movie uncomfortable. I wanted to like it, but that soon changed to wanting to pull my eye balls out (and just listen.) That is why the original was better.

I cannot figure out why other posters liked the performance of Jimmy/Kenny Holland. I thought he was awkward and flat. On the other hand, Julie/Monica Moore Smith was poised and engaging!

The new plot was great and the acting good overall. It is still a little goofy which is OK. The emotions of the story are real and save this film. Go see it but just brace yourself against the technical issues.
