Suits on the Loose (2005)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Powerful

Absolutely Brilliant!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brandon Beemer and Ty Hodges are on the loose. They escape from a juvenile delinquent boot camp that is run by one authoritarian general played by Charles Napier. But the track they hijack from the camp breaks down. So as luck would have it they get to hijack another vehicle driven by Mormon Elders Shaun Weiss and Jason Winer with all their clothes and Mormon paraphernalia.Wouldn't you know it, they run smack into a Mormon cop who escorts them to Bishop Robert Prosky and the assignment awaiting the two they left on the Mojave desert. After that Beemer and Hodges have no other choice but to continue the masquerade as Suits On The Loose.Producer Kurt Hale no doubt took some inspiration from films like The Left Hand Of God and Guns For San Sebastian where Humphrey Bogart and Anthony Quinn had to masquerade as Catholic priests for their own reasons. Suits On The Loose is done with quite a bit of a lighter touch than those classics.In fact it's a pleasing enough comedy that could definitely appeal to more than an LDS audience. Beemer and Hodges get quite a life's lesson in their disguises, basically about growing up and accepting responsibility even if you don't convert to be a Mormon.Such Hollywood veterans as Robert Prosky as the Mormon Bishop, Fred Dryer as Beemer's father and Napier give the younger members of the cast some inspiration for their performances. Special mention should also go to Reginald Vel Johnson of Family Matters who just might be the fattest cowboy on record, Andy Devine included.I'd give this one a look even if you're a gentile.

What a sound track!!! The photography, acting, professional actors, story line, an actual message, funny, believable, these are some of the things we thought were super in this movie. We admire Mr. Henson for having the courage to stick with his passion and getting a good family movie out there. We laughed all the way thru, and actually got a little emotional too with the love story. We hope Mr. Henson continues to fight opposition to bring us even better movies. Thanks for the fun nights. You can't just see this movie once, you need to go back for the moments you missed while you were laughing. The whole family will enjoy it. Take your friends and neighbors too.

Kudos to this new writer/director! I hope to see many more films come from him. I loved "Suits on the Loose" and thought it was a fun, relaxing, entertaining picture that the whole family can enjoy. The best part is that my non-member friends loved it as well! For all the people that don't see this because they are tired of the quality of the other "Halestorm" pictures, you are missing out! Not only does this film entertain, it has a story. It's a comedy, but it has some serious moments. My favorite scene in the movie was the whole "Journal Scene" - what a crack up!! I thought the actors not only did a great job of getting into their characters, but it was very cleverly written. Thanks again! When can we see another movie by this director?!

I don't know. There's not much to say about this film. It's probably one of the better films Halestorm has released (aside from the excellent "Best Two Years") but, let's be honest, that's not really saying much.It's a nice premise that goes astray with one dimensional characters and, again, overplayed jokes taking prominence over story. The soundtrack isn't half-bad but that's not why you go and see a movie.Two questions: 1) What's the deal with the lady in the airplane - she's pointless? 2) How many paint ball battles are we going to have to subjected to in Mormon films? Like "Mobsters", a good concept led astray by poor execution on the script.
