The Singles Ward is a 2002 comedy film. Like The R.M., which followed it, The Singles Ward's target audience is members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day 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 non-Mormons. The Singles Ward is one of the new line of LDS comedy films by Kurt Hale and John E. Moyer.

[edit] Plot
After faithfully serving a fulltime mission, Jonathan Jordan finds himself divorced and is once again a member of the single LDS adult world—a world whose ultimate goal is Eternal Marriage. Disenchanted with the Mormon way of life after his recent divorce, Jordan stops going to church. He even creates a stand up routine lampooning the Mormon way of life. His resistance to the church continues until he falls for Cammie Giles, a member of the local singles ward. Suddenly, Jordan finds going to church more appealing. But is he attending church again just to impress her?
Tagline: The Road to Eternal Marriage Has Never Been Longer'
[edit] Trivia
When Jon is at a repair shop, to get his car fixed, the background has the phone number for the shop being 867-5309, a popular song from the Eighties.
