well... there’s nothing in the bible that would command the hero of the movie to act the way he did (not be alone with any strange woman under any circumstance for any reason), but it is a device that creates a drama. sometimes we pile things on the bible and then it is that which the secular world hates.
From what I’ve read, Old-Fashioned had already planned to open Valentine’s weekend and it was 50 Shades that followed suit.
I saw it with the Mrs. on Saturday. It was a good movie, good message, and didn’t suffer from the “campy” factor that you see in some low-budget, Christian movies. You can support this movie with your $$$ and not feel dirty afterward.
One item - there are adult themes addressed in this movie. I’d say it is a solid PG-13 for kids raised in Christian households. For kids who go to public school, I’d call it a “G” rating on the sliding scale I use for this purpose.
I saw it and thoroughly enjoyed it as a romantic love story. He sets those boundaries/guardrails up for himself to guard against temptation.
