Product Description
John groberg a farm kid from idaho falls crosses an ocean to become a missionary in the remote and exotic tongan islands during the 1950s Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 01/11/2008 Starring: Anne Hathaway Nathaniel Lees Run time: 73 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Mitch Davis
Amazon.com
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

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 atu

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.
 Interesting true story. November 12, 2006

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.
