The Work and the Glory II: American Zion (2005)
Read The Book, Skip The Movie
If you read the book, don't waste your time or money. I hated this movie. I didn't like how it was re-written from Mr. Lund's fine novel. If you didn't read the book (10 times better than the movie) you may possibly like it because you won't know how poorly this screenplay was done and directed. It is unfortunate that the same writer and director is filming the next in the series. I will skip that one entirely. I am sick that I bought 3 copies of the American Zion DVD based on my love for the book and the first movie(5 stars, I highly recommend it). The DVDs were going to be Mother's day gifts. Maybe I can still return the two I didn't open. This movie didn't even come close to following Mr. Lund's great story and the characters that he created. So much was re-written that all I could say was "that didn't happen in the book" at least 10 times. They basically emitted main characters and re-substituted others in many events from the book.
