Two of the children, Jimmy and Julie, encounter personal struggles that help them rediscover and fulfill their foreordained missions in life. The musical tells the story of a group of children that are born into a Latter-day Saint family after making various promises in the premortal life. maybe a whole salt lick? But whoever you are, if you do watch it, invite me over so I can sing along.Saturday's Warrior is a religious-themed musical written by Douglass Stewart and Lex de Azevedo about a family who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The bottom line: if you're LDS, it might be worth a viewing, just to see what everyone's talking about-but take it with a grain of salt. That, however, is what we call "false doctrine.") The movie does have a few things going for it, however, including a sincere (if cornily delivered) message about the importance of family and of the choices we make, and some surprisingly catchy and/or compelling musical numbers with strong vocal performances. (I know I'm not the only LDS girl who spent a lot of early childhood thinking, because of this movie, that someday I would meet the man I was supposed to marry and promptly receive divine affirmation that we had known each other in the pre-existence.
For those who didn't grow up on this movie, Saturday's Warrior has little to offer: mediocre acting, low production values, and a somewhat skewed view of LDS doctrine. In fact, the only people I know who do like this movie (and this includes me) are those who grew up watching it on Sunday afternoons and for whom it triggers a trip down memory lane and possibly some enthusiastic sing-alongs. People who are members of the LDS will quite possibly not like this movie either.
People who aren't members of the LDS church will most likely not like this movie.
