Summary: 4 Stars
I just watch the movie for the second time. I am LDS. I also served a mission in the Tongan Islands as a young man. This movie touches my heart and I can relate to it on so many levels. I also was a young LDS missionary from Idaho Falls, sent to the Tongan Islands. I too had a girl that was waiting for me. I thought the movie was inspirational as well as entertaining. The only things I felt a little negative about the movie were how the Tongans were portrayed at times. In the movie it was Elder Grohber that taught the Tongans morality and was the spiritual leader of even the Tongan saints. My experience was much different. I was taught by the faithful Tongan saints whos morals were beyond reproach and who's spirituality helped me grow tremendously. Despite that and a couple of Tongan language errors in the film I thought it was wonderful. Oh and my girl didn't wait as promised. Ofa atuDVD Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I am LDS so the movie has a lot of meaning to me. I is a wonderful story of a missionary who works so hard to bring the gospel of Christ to islanders. But also works to help them with their everyday lives. It is based on the missionary's journal. It is very feel good movie.DVD Review: Interesting true story.
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is very good, done well, and the acting is fine, but the book is much, much, much better, one of my all-time favorites. And it's all true, by the way. I would like the DVD better if I hadn't read the book first, but now I don't care for the movie very much. There are many very important, thrilling events which took place during the 3 years of this missionary's assignment in the islands that are not in the movie. No time or room for everything, I guess. Disappointing. My advice would be to read the book first and then decide if you want to see the movie.
Description of The Other Side Of Heaven
Walt Disney Home Entertainment presents THE OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN, a thrilling and epic adventure starring Anne Hathaway (THE PRINCESS DIARIES) and Christopher Gorham (TV's FELICITY). When 19-year-old John Groberg (Gorham) is sent on a three-year mission to Tonga, he has no idea what he's getting into. Just getting to Tonga is fraught with danger and unbelievable obstacles. Once there, he finds himself in the midst of a culture as remote to him as the island is to his Idaho Falls home. Not understanding the language, and lonely for his fiancee Jean (Hathaway), John faces suspicion, distrust, typhoons, tidal waves, mosquitoes, and other perils of man and nature as he reaches out to the people of Tonga. Filled with adventure, breathtaking scenery, and humor, THE OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN is a coming-of-age film your whole family will enjoy.A half-century after the real John Groberg left Idaho to serve a three-year mission in Tonga, actor Christopher Gorham (A Life Less Ordinary) gracefully slips into the Mormon Elder's shoes in The Other Side of Heaven. A gifted cross between Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, Gorham effortlessly carries this touching story of a young man's struggle to adapt and thrive in a completely foreign land. He may look like a bar of soap, standing in his suit and tie against the lush palms and shimmering waters of his new surroundings; but as daily island living hits Groberg with death, disease, and natural disaster, this missionary's determination and courage shine through. Heartfelt letters Gorham writes to his true love (sweetly portrayed by Anne Hathaway) and her candid replies underscore profound--or profoundly normal--events and impressions the two experience while apart. It's an uplifting, tear-invoking family drama that benefits even more from fine acting, artful direction, and an Academy Award-winning producer (Gerald R. Molen, Schindler's List). (Ages 10 and older) --Liane Thomas
