Reviews

SPOILERS: There have been many other films that have tried to highlight the work of an LDS Missionary. These films have shown these young folks in more of a comic or a dramatic twist, but this one is different.

I haven't seen this movie yet but I've found an interesting review from Mormon Times here:http://www.mormontimes.

Mormon cinema attempts to create it's own version of National Treasure (a team of people following clues to find hidden treasure) in this movie.Okay, the acting is not the best and the story is not the greatest.

It is good that we are allowed to express personal opinions, never have I seem one so biased against a new movie than the first published here in IMDb.One Man's Treasure is a real enjoyable movie and the young actors/actresses do a superb job (okay I can fault the false English accent used by one of the cast, but that is a typical American perception and so wrong) I have purchased every one of the Producer JOHN LYDE'S movies, he started with real short movies first and they have all been so well produced and they have introduced many good young actors, most of them not being full time professional.

Don't let the title fool you like it fooled me, also don't let IMDb.com's suggestion that it might be like National Treasure fool you either.

Just totally, stupendously terrible. Never watch this film.

When I watch a movie, I do take into considerationthe budget given it. To me, it is the story that matters most,and this is a very nice Mormon story.

Although the plot is somewhat hokey, I rather enjoyed One Man's Treasure because I got an insight into the Latter Day Saints young missionaries and their shared experiences. For what it is supposed to do it is an effective teaching tool about the faith.
