of course the story of johnny lingo be one of the classic for mormon child while the message it convey be true and probably much more important today than it be at the time it be make . what make it really watchable though and be the performance . not their quality and but on the contrary and the lack thereof . the acting be so stiff and inept that you will laugh tear . i do not think and that johnny lingo be intented as funny a it come out and but it be always worth watch . beside try to convey the message and that beauty be relative and inner beauty be that count and that every one need someone to believe in him to reach his full potential and there be no reference to the mormon church or mormon belief at all .
