Every girl wants to be a princess and she's looking for a knight in shining armor. Meet Clay and Amber. He's a man with a theory and she's a woman with a plan. When Amber rents the apartment above Clay's antique shop, the societal norms of dating and romance are questioned. Clay has devoted himself to purity and Amber is a bit of a flirt who finds his old fashioned ways intriguing. But that's not all. There's definitely a bit of romance, but even more, there's a breath of fresh air watching chivalry make a comeback through old fashioned courtship . . . and honor.
This is a movie that I want my children to watch. As a mom, I desire for them to see there is more to love than what plays out over the big screen today. A lifetime of commitment can and should begin before you say "I do." In a world where modern love is portrayed only as gray, I want my children to see that real love beats red. JESUS gave HIS all to show us LOVE. Relationships can be GOD-honoring and "all things can be made new." That's exactly what we find as we patiently follow the courtship-turned-forever in Old Fashioned. It's definitely a movie worth watching again and again.
About the movie:
Old Fashioned is a PureFlix Media Film and the DVD Releases TODAY June 16, 2015. Get your personal copy today (or stop back by for a neat giveaway in a few weeks).
Runtime 115 minutes // Genre: Drama (with elements of comedy and romance) // Rating
PG-13 (There are mature-themed scenes in this movie. The local hangout is a bar, there is a brief discussion when Amber asks Clay if he has had sex, and a bachelor party invites a stripper for entertainment-- but she does not perform and is sent away . The focus here is realizing that GOD's plan for marriage is always best.)
A romantic-drama, Old Fashioned centers on Clay Walsh,
a former frat boy who gives up his reckless carousing and now runs an antique
shop in a small Midwestern college town. There, he has become notorious for his
lofty and outdated theories on love and romance as well as for his devout
belief in God. When Amber Hewson, a free-spirited young woman with a restless
soul, drifts into the area and rents the apartment above his shop, she finds
herself surprisingly drawn to his strong faith and noble ideas, which are new
and intriguing to her. And Clay, though he tries to fight and deny it, simply
cannot resist being attracted to her spontaneous and passionate embrace of
life. Ultimately, Clay must step out from behind his relational theories and
Amber must overcome her own fears and deep wounds as the two of them, together,
attempt the impossible: an "old-fashioned" and God-honoring courtship
in contemporary America.
