Handsomely mounted but awfully bland.

rotten:
Ultimately stumbles in its mission to make the founding of the Mormon religion interesting to a general audience.

rotten:
A likable, ambitious film that does its proselytizing in a roundabout way until its clumsy, final half-hour.

rotten:
A pretty but weakly written and acted period piece.

It's hard to imagine this movie capturing an audience outside the Mormon community.
