Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

ben_thurber SPOILERS: There have been many other films that have tried to highlight the work of an LDS Missionary. These films have shown these young folks in more of a comic or a dramatic twist, but this one is different.The fact is that mission work isn't all just comic or enjoyable romps. There are times it's very hard.Like in this movie. Sure, from the standpoint of someone outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, it might seem rather dull or not make much sense.Knowing that the film revolves around two particular missionaries as their district (group of missionaries in a particular area) goes on a treasure hunt, and how they end up serving people they run into, and learning about each other makes this more of a personal story and a story of these two as they look for the best kind of treasure any missionary could look for, someone ready and willing to listen to the testimonies of their work.If you watch, don't watch to see them get gold or money, for, in the mission work of the LDS church, that doesn't matter. The treasure hunt is a treasure hunt for missionaries by missionaries.

sguphx When I watch a movie, I do take into considerationthe budget given it. To me, it is the story that matters most,and this is a very nice Mormon story. The acting was not as bad asreviewers lead us on to be. Have you ever watched a Keanu Reeves picture?This is as good , acting wise. John Lyde always does a fine job withwhat little financing he has to work with. I have seen huge budgetmovies which are pure trash. This, by contrast, is a very sweet moviefor a very specific audience. I liked it!! It would be nice to see what John Lyde could do with a large budget, As long as it is not one of his action movies.

John B Sheffield It is good that we are allowed to express personal opinions, never have I seem one so biased against a new movie than the first published here in IMDb.One Man's Treasure is a real enjoyable movie and the young actors/actresses do a superb job (okay I can fault the false English accent used by one of the cast, but that is a typical American perception and so wrong) I have purchased every one of the Producer JOHN LYDE'S movies, he started with real short movies first and they have all been so well produced and they have introduced many good young actors, most of them not being full time professional.If you purchase the DVD which I recommend, there is a making of feature and John Lyde is totally honest of how limited the budget is on a production like this, but you would never know unless you are going to be over critical. By the way I am not a member of the LDS Church.Well done John.

Joe McDonnell Just totally, stupendously terrible. Never watch this film. It's incredible to think that good money was spent in the making of it. There's a full orchestral score, which sounds like it was played live - that can't have been cheap! Disastrous is too generous an adjective. The acting is worse than "School Play," the script is choke-on-your-tongue guff and the direction is just bloody appalling. Why did I watch this at all? Because I was practically catatonic after two days on the sauce, and it was hilarious! Probably not the intention of the film-makers, but that's what got it the single mark out of ten.Advise a long, cold shower after giggling like a mindless child at this dross.
