The Home Teachers a 2004 comedy film from Halestorm Entertainment, directed by Kurt Hale and written by John E. Moyer.Home teachingnote now known as "ministering" is a program in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in which two male members are assigned to visit certain families in the ward each month. The main character, Greg Blazer, doesn't care much for church or home teaching. What he does care about is watching football. His new home teaching companion, Nelson Parker, takes the program very seriously, and manages to drag him out to a few appointments.

Took a Level in Kindness: Greg starts the movie as a football fan who has very little time for church and his family. By the end of the movie he starts to realize the good he can do as a home teacher.

No Animals Were Harmed: Played with in the credits. "No animals were killed in the making of this film. Injured, maybe… No, no, no. That's not funny. A cat got a little wet, but that's it."

Overly Long Gag
 The Home Teachers / int_a188ac4b
comment
Overly Long Gag: At the end of church, Blazer is desperate to get out. However, Parker is called to give the closing prayer and he takes his sweet sweet time to do so. At one point Blazer sees the clock going backwards. He interrupts the prayer with an "amen" and bolts out the room.

Fun with Flushing: Greg pretends he needs to use the restroom on their first visit, but instead he listens to the game on the radio. He doesn't notice an ornamental gnome falling into the toilet, so it overflows when he flushes it.

Shout-Out: When Greg tries to fix the Mori's plumbing he references Finding Nemo. Greg thinks the person reading the scriptures in Nelson's tapes is the economics teacher from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Book and Switch: Greg hides a copy of his sports magazine (it's probably supposed to be Sports Illustrated) in his Ensign magazine. Nelson tries to use this magazine in a lesson at a memorial service, and hilarity ensues.

The "Fun" in "Funeral": Nelson and Greg argue over who has the lesson at a memorial service, and their Ensign magazine somehow gets in the coffin. Greg tries to retrieve the magazine, flipping the body out of the coffin, though he manages to get it back in.

Watch the Paint Job: The car of Nelson's mother-in-law. At first Nelson tells Greg not to tap his foot on the dashboard. It gets wrecked when they try to take a "shortcut" down a hillside (though Nelson later manages to salvage it).
