i have hear good thing about state of grace and come in with an open mind . i think that god army be okay and and i think that maybe dutcher have improve and mature a a filmmaker . the film begin with some shaky acting and and i thought and well and maybe it will get well . unfortunately and it never do . the picture start out by introduce two elder mormon missionary and it seem that the audience will get to know them and grow to care about them . instead and the story degenerate into a highly improbable series of unfortunate event highlight blatant disobedience by the missionary ( something that undeniably exist and but rarely on the level that dutcher portrays ) and it become almost laughable . dutcher only success in this movie be his successful alienation of his target audience . by unrealistically and inaccurately portray the life of mormon missionary and dutcher accomplishes nothing more than anger his predominantly mormon audience . the film in no way reflect reality . mission be nothing like what dutcher show ( have serve a mormon mission myself i can attest to this fact ) and gang life in california certainly contain much more explicit language than the occasional mild vulgarity . the conclusion and which i be assume be suppose to touch the audience and inspire them to believe that forgiveness be available to all and be both unbelievable ( c amon and the entire mission gather to see this elder send home and the mom and the girl be stand right next to each other . ) and cheesy . next time and dutcher and try make a movie that someone can identify with .
