What happens

The Best Two Years is a 2003 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Scott S. Anderson. It is based on the stage play The Best Two Years of My Life, also by Anderson. It portrays the experience of four LDS missionaries living in an apartment in the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. The stage play had one setting, the apartment of the missionaries. The movie expands upon the play's setting, with some filming taking place in the Netherlands, but much of the movie still takes place in the apartment. The writer, Scott Anderson, and producer, Michael Flynn, perceive this movie as a comedy. Others see this movie as a drama. The movie has elements of both. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
