April 16, 2008This was one of the most FUNNY movies I have seen in a long time time. This is the missionary movie of all missionary movies!
-
December 5, 2007the reason this isnt like a real mission is cus it is adapted from a play, and in a play, they cannot change the scene that often.... and some people do prefer to get baptised in rivers, i wish i was...

May 28, 2007I think this is the best "Mormon Movie" around. I feel it portrays missionary work as it was for me; not raising the dead every day, but struggling and working to the best you can.

February 20, 2007funny, but not rediculous like some of the previous "Mormon Comedies". this was handled much more proffesionaly.

The experiences of these young men probably would resonate with anyone who has undergone similar trials, but I saw few themes that would resonate with a larger audience.

After seeing The Best Two Years, you might want to stop by a construction site to see which is more interesting, this movie or watching paint dry. Full Review

Ron Reed, Christianity Today
To its credit, The Best Two Years shows a refreshing willingness to acknowledge the foibles and possible problems with some Mormon missionary practices.

Vince Koehler, Entertainment Spectrum
The film is excellent and very informative to non-Mormons. I worked with several in the past and always wondered about this two-year voluntary mission. Its great! Full Review

Wade Major, Boxoffice Magazine
An earnest and impressively polished attempt at providing an inside look at the experiences of full-time Mormon missionaries. Full Review

John Hartl, Seattle Times
[Anderson] handles the frat-house humor more convincingly than he does the conversion scenes, which are so serious and emotional that they seem to come from a different movie. Full Review

Robert W. Butler, Kansas City Star
Anderson's effort should be easily accessible to non-Mormons because it's genuinely funny and sanctimony-free and features uniformly fine performances. Full Review

John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Earnest but bland depiction of Mormon missionaries as normal guys, even if they do live within the drug-, alcohol- and sex-free context of an old TV series.
