Hale, Hale The Gangs All Here!

Keith and I rented a movie last night produced by the HALESTORM ENTERTAINMENTcalled The Home Teachers. It's about, obviously, two guys who try to get their home teaching done in one night and all of the funny stuff that happens to them while they are doing it. The characters reminded us of Chris Farley and David Spade from Tommy Boy with the "Craig" character trying to do his best but basically having life blow up in his face and the "Nelson" character being obsessed only with numbers.

We also saw ads for other films we want to see like Sons of Provo about the making of the "boy band" Evercleen, The Best Two Years about the growing pains of missionaries in the mission field in the Netherlands, Baptists At Our Barbeque about an all community get together, and we have just put one in right now called The RM about what it was like for one young person to come home from the mission field.

All of the movies are funny and so far appear in good taste. Keith sent them an email saying he wanted to see a movie called The Road Show about the traveling road show plays wards used to do OR one called Pioneer Days where a group goes out to walk the trail into Salt Lake City using just pioneer equipment and is supposed to be back to their ward house by the Pioneer Day Celebration - maybe in time to help with the pancake breakfast. I had an idea for a film about a T.V. reality show called Do Unto Others where families compete to see who can be the best neighbor to the others in the neighborhood for cash and prizes. Of course it could get grossly out of hand with people spying on one another and being catty about someone "sneaking" a casserole over at midnight and leaving it on the porch when there is a death in some neighbor's family, fighting over fixing holes in some elderly person's roof, etc. I'm sure you can see how that could be funny. The moral would be that as the competing adults got weirder and weirder, the small children would be the only ones who continue to truly do random acts of kindness and practice what has been taught to them in Primary and ultimately teach the adults a lesson. Cool idea, huh?

Anyway, I will let you know how the film is tomorrow.
