The string of LDS comedy films that have arrived on the scene during the last couple of years have been fun and have always carried some sort of a positive message even if it takes a little work to figure it out. The film the Best Two Years achieves everything these other movies did and then quite successfully keeps on going. Certainly this film is best described as being on par with God's Army and is probably the only other movie besides Charly that can make this claim. The movie is beautifully shot, well scripted, well acted, quite funny and just the right length. The movie did not draw me to tears as God's Army or Charly did the first time I saw those movies, however that doesn't make this movie anything less. This is an LDS movie for an LDS audience, so don't be surprised if non-members friends/acquaintances don't take well to the movie. It is an excellent family film and would be particularly good to make sure that your LDS teens get a chance to see this one, whether they are thinking about a mission or not.
