The Singles 2nd Ward

The Singles 2nd Ward is a comedy film, directed by Kurt Hale. Like The Singles Ward, and other films which followed it, The Singles 2nd Wards target audience is members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and citizens of Utah. As such, references to and parodies of the Mormon and Utah subcultures pervade the film and are unlikely to be understood by nonMormons. However, the film provides an interesting and comical view into the sometimes strange world of the Mormon culture. The Singles Ward is one of the new line of LDS comedy films by Kurt Hale.

Dalen, now a college professor of Mormon mythology, has almost given up on finding an eternal companion in his current singles ward, as scores of his friends around him get married or already have several children. His hopes are renewed when Christine moves into the ward, and they fall in love love at first sight in Dalens case. Christines parents are very wealthy nonmembers who have each been married a few times. Trouble arises when they tell Christines parents about their marriage plans because Christines parents cant understand why theyre not permitted to attend their daughters wedding in the LDS Temple. Dalen actually withdraws his proposal to Christine in order to avoid causing a rift in her family. Later, however, Dalen visits Christines father and explains to him the importance of temple marriage, and he gives Dalen his blessing. Christine and Dalens wedding goes as planned.During the film, Jonathan Will Swenson is making a film based on their experience in the Singles Ward. When Jonathans friends visit the set, they each see the actor playing them Dalen is played by some guy whos been in every LDS movie ever made, who looks exactly like Dalen also played by Kirby Heyborne. While discussing making a movie about Dalens experience in getting married, Jonathan says that franchises must be made in trilogies, but with everyone married the next one would have to be The Family Ward. Dalen even mentioned a dream that he had that he was a return missionary, full of the problems he and Jonathan had encountered. ........
