Customer Reviews of Baptists at our Barbecue
Not just a Mormon flick While marketed and generally reviewed as a Mormon movie, or at best a Christian film, "Baptists at Our Barbecue" can stand on its own as a well-told tale of small-town life. In the same vein as "Northern Exposure" (including a great, eclectic soundtrack, btw) or Tom Bodett's tales, "Baptists" does revolve around religion - but in the same way "Northern Exposure" revolved around Joel Fleishman being a New Yorker stuck in Alaska. One need not be Mormon nor Baptist (lapsed Catholic here) to enjoy this film's excellent character development, large cast of lovable eccentrics, or strong story telling.
This movie is funny if..
I found quite a few funny moments in this film, however it was becase I had served a mission and been in branches that were as remote as the one in this story. It made me uncomfortable on the same level for the same reasons. Seeing how traditions of isolated groups can diverge from the norm of the Church can be humorous in context, but does not give a favorable or accurate view of the Church or the Gospel. Also the rivalry of the town has to be seen in the context of how Mormons used to be treated by and large not the general releationship of religious communities today, hate mongoring of certain "Christian" radio and TV ministries aside.

>On a positive note... this film shows a great lesson that the Church has learned through the years is that there is more to be gained by finding what we have in common rather than the differences.
Probably the best Mormon movie to date.
Okay, it's probably not something you would take your family of 4 (7 if you're Mormon) to the theater and pay $8 each to see.

>I'd probably rank it slightly ahead of Best 2 Years, but this is entirely a Romance/Comedy.

>I don't think you have to be Mormon to like this movie.

<
>There are no A- or B-list actors in it, but the writing and directing is good, better than most previous Mormon movies.

<
>As to another reviewer's implication that this movie makes Baptists out to be "the bad guys", just know that the Mormons in the movie get lampooned as much as anyone else. I'm sure there are just as many uptight LDS who cringed at the negative Mormon stereotypes in the movie, as Baptists who cringed at the Baptist stereotypes.

<
>But just like in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", there are stereotypes in all religions and cultures. Part of everyone getting along is laughing at ourselves.

>It's just a movie. And a funny one, to boot.
