The Book of Mormon
Movie • 2011
ReportSynopsis
The Book of Mormon is an American musical comedy with music, lyrics, and book by Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. The story follows two missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as they attempt to preach the faith to the inhabitants of a remote Ugandan village. The earnest young men are challenged by the lack of interest from the locals, who are distracted by more pressing issues such as HIV/AIDS, famine, and oppression by the local warlord.

Technically no, it’s part of the play that the Ugandans perform with brown cloth. No actual pooping is done though.

Multiple times throughout the show, first brought up in “Hasa Diga Eebowai” by Mafala referring to Mtumbo. The next musical number it’s brought up in is “Making Things Up Again”. It is directed towards babies.

No, it's a musical so it's kind of hard to show any details
Although there is a scene where Elder Price enters with 'blood' on his shirt

Some of the Ugandan women have had their clitorises cut off. It’s stated in “Making Things Up Again” that Gotswana wants to cut his daughter’s off to Elder Cunningham. The General threatens death on those who haven’t had it done, and the topic is discussed in some parts of the musical. None of it is actually shown, though.

No, but someone is shot in the face
Ofc, it's a musical so there's no close details or blood but there's a "gun" and the victim falls back
It's also talked about later as the guy getting shot in the face

Technically, yes. Other than the babies, it could be debatable. Better safe than sorry, though.

Someone said yes but I'm not exactly sure what part they'd be talking about
I have Misophonia triggered by chewing and wet noises and I was alright :) although it may be different for you, so proceed with caution

No, though there are scenes where male actors are portraying mothers / wives, wearing wigs and dresses
It's not in a disrespectful way, though, and not portrayed obviously or as if it should be funny :)

YES, It's the whole theme of the show
Throughout it points out the hypocrisy of Mormonism beliefs and shows Mormon missionaries traveling to help spread their religion (As an atheist I love the theme, but if you're more sensitive to religious topics maybe don't watch this musical)
Also, there's a scene where a character is questioning his faith and belief system, although it doesn't really go much farther past that scene
There's also mention of 'ancient jews' and a scene in the spooky Mormon hell dream with Hitler (the two are unrelated)
