Movie Review: **Return with Honor: A Missionary Homecoming


Although this movie would be considered a "Mormon" movie, it did everything possible to be irreverent, and then say it is our duty to love and not judge.  The theme is that of a returning missionary, who coming home from the airport is struck by a car int he taxi, which gives him a near death experience in which he is given 60 days to baptize his mother.  Mother however is currently working in a bar.  She is living with a controlling guy, who when she starts listening to the missionaries, physically abuses her.  Her son helps her move out, and in with him.  However it is when he accepts her and is willing to love her the way she is that she decides to be baptized.  She also had to come clean about a few skeletons in her closet, especially with regards to her son's father.  There is a twist at the end.
There is some abuse, and some danger, but no major issues for which to be concerned about children.  It is rated PG.
