okay here's my problem with your comment steviemillion...this entire film was based off of the story of an escaped polygamist wife. She was actually the wife of the former fugitive Warren Jeffs, who was on the FBI's most wanted list for many things besides polygamy including marrying an under aged girl and conspiring to perform sexual acts with minors. Also, the fact that somebody could escape and find a group of altogether nice people is not impossible, and may I remind you that she did not say for certain that she was going to school to become a teacher...it was merely suggested to her. The point of the entire thing was not to show that she was necessarily going to have an easier life per-say, because like you said, raising five kids is not just a walk in the park. The point was that doing that was better than living in an overly oppressed society with a bunch of jerks prepared to 'hurt' her children in the blink of an eye for their own selfish means. Also, it didn't show that everybody was all happy and ready to help, because as I remember, a large group of boys walked up to the oldest son saying something along the lines of "incest is best" then the lot of them began to fight. Next time you want to bash any movie, Canadian or not, make sure you watch it properly and actually know what's going on in the background next time. Thank you very much
