* HarsherInHindsight: Kinegar's loss of faith is met with hostility from Dalton. Dutcher [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKQie0q2IBY himself]] would lose his Mormon faith around 2007 in a manner similar to Kinegar, though fortunately less bitter.

* TearJerker: Kinegar's confession to Allen is very heartbreaking. It also hits home for those that have suffered a crisis of faith once in their life.
--> '''Kinegar''': Damn them if it isn't true. Damn them to hell.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: A scene where Elder Kinegar gives anti-Mormon literature to a waitress was removed because the creators thought it would ruin the character by making him unrelatable. Indeed, while many Mormon missionaries go through a CrisisOfFaith at some point during their missions, most don't go the extra step of actively handing out anti-Mormon materials.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The film deals with some more controversial aspects of the LDS Church, such as Joseph Smith giving multiple versions of the First Vision, the pre-1978 ban on blacks holding the priesthood, and imperfect priesthood leaders (like Brandon Allen's dad).

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Dutcher kept getting a ItWillNeverCatchOn response before and during production. In fact, there were very few, if any, financing from LDS members and one of the first backers was a Christian Scientist. He proved them wrong.

** While not used in the film, the ([[KeepCirculatingTheTapes out of print]]) soundtrack features the haunting "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15mjVZ9_SGY Restless Soul]]" by Cherie Call.
* CriticalDissonance: Got mixed reviews upon release, but audiences reacted more favorably.

** In the DVDCommentary, Dutcher is highly optimistic about future LDS filmmakers in the new genre, though he hopes "they don't pee in the pool". In his eyes, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy that's exactly what happened]].

** Allen's backstory that his father, the very person that brought Mormonism into his life, turned out to be a child molester is also pretty sad. Made worse when you learn that [[WriteWhatYouKnow this is the real-life backstory for Dutcher]].
