A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

As much as I love guys, one thing people don't talk about is that giving write-offs for the baby-makers pays off in the long run, those babies support our retirement. Why should I pay more taxes because a couple of dudes want to be together forever, but can't pony up with my retirement cushion (aka babies). I appreciate love in all of its forms, but polygamy should be legalized first. I think it's wrong that a woman with wives and 10 children doesn't get tax write offs for her commitment; although, once that happens tax breaks are gonna wear so thin that everyone including LGBT will be crying about the rampant marriage licenses. I'd like tax breaks for promising to have and hold my one true love, Lou, my cat until death do us part... but I don't think that would be fair to my fellow tax payer, and besides, until men can marry men, they will never marry cats.

And then I see movies like this.If there is ever a good argument about why the silly notion of letting Churches have tax exempt status should be put by the wayside, this is it.The Church of Latter Day Saints spent 70% of the money supporting Proposition 8, yet hid behind front groups and other useful idiots to promote their agenda of hate.The delicious irony is that the courts have not only struck down 8, but if they appeal to the Supreme Court, they may well make it legal for the whole country. That would almost restore my faith in a God.

I didn't even watch the show and just from the preview I can see things are taken out of context and clips are from anti literature. If people actually believe this kind of one side garbage they should be ashamed. Besides I think there are a few more denominations that spoke out for Prop 8 and for what they believe in. Why single out the Mormons, talk about racism, take a look in the mirror. Seems like the film focuses on money that the Church spent on proposition 8. Who cares, unless your paying the church out of your own pocket what's it matter to you. Beside the receipts they show could easily be falsified or going to some charity. It's funny how people will believe anything they see on a screen. What a joke, it's to bad people even have to be like this just accept that people are different and accept then for who they are, right or wrong.

Living on the East Coast, the passage of California's Prop 8 was too distant to be more than just a news story. And not being Gay, not personal. The passage also suffered in the wake of Obama's historic election on November 4, 2008.The news did shatter the myth of California liberalism as the Proposition denying Gay marriage rights passed 52% to 48%. And that was beyond sad."8: The Mormon Proposition" makes it clear why. Money. $22 million in Mormon money funded a campaign of half-truths and outright lies to have the Prop placed on the ballot to forward the Mormon ideal of marriage. Watching the web of deceit and hate being exposed is fascinating.To a point.The doc is not entirely balanced and fair. After the Prop passes (about 2/3rds through) the film takes a nasty, completely unnecessary turn to Mormon-bashing. It left a bad taste in the mouth as it's hateful in a very subtle way. A far more virulent form of hate compared to a street corner protester shouting epithets about Gays.Whether one is a Mormon, supports Mormonism or religious freedom, it's sure the way to fight hate is not with hate. The Mormons are quite clear about their views. Adding anything beyond exposing those views in a film about Prop 8 goes to the filmmaker's agenda.Perhaps if the Doc focused on the Mormon's overall agenda. . .
