Old Fashioned (2014)

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

I received Old Fashioned in my stocking at Christmas. I am sure it was given to me because I like a good love story, however, it was so much more than that! That is a very simply stated depiction of how godly dating and singlehood should be with a great love story mixed in.

It's so rare nowadays to find a simple but deep reflection about models for dates, for male/female relationships, without presenting physical attraction as the main issue - we need time (at least, i need, as a women) to know the other one and to fall in love. We need to talk, to get to know each other... to became friends and, if possible, more than friends. It's not easy to present (or believe) in such a model, nowadays - and that's way i really liked Clay's strength to stick to it. But equally important is also the humanity and it's own "weakness" of the characters. They didn't do everything right (and weren't every time sure about the moves to take or how to act) just because they were christians (Clay, at least). And when it comes for the heart matters, it's even more difficult. So, their difference of perspectives is really enriching. They were sincerely opened to the the other's difference - and that's absolutely important in relationships. Waiting for the next movie, alike!! :)

So I had the impression that the film had a decent start, but nope. Here's a film that will toy with your emotions and manage to creep you out at the same time!The way Clay was throughout the film was similar to a self-loathing "I hate myself for doing this" emo kid. For the soundtrack they might as well have had Hawthorne Heights playing in the background. Especially the song "Ohio Is For Lovers". What do you know, it took place in Ohio!At one point in the film you find out that Clay hadn't gone to church in a while, because of the supposed hypocrisy though Clay is the epitome of hypocrite. The cringe in this film is real. Majority of the characters in the film are so full of themselves, it would make someone want to induce vomiting.Even though, Clay was the most full of himself, yet he stood out due to him hating himself. The only somewhat bearable character in this film was Amber... maybe... I will admit, the story line did seem kind of realistic, except for the ending. 1: Who would get engaged in a grocery store, with sand all over the floor like a psychopath? Oh yeah... Clay and Amber. 2: I'm surprised she continued to pursue him, even after looking in his bible that had pictures of him and his ex. Kind of weird dude. 3: Only a psychopath would make him/her self read a "steps" book to find out if they're suitable with one another.Anyone know that song Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse? That's how I feel about this film.

This movie had captured my attention several times and was in my queue to watch. When I finally sat down to watch it I was completely mesmerized. The characters were both realistically flawed with issues so many of us have in life after being hurt and still genuinely wanting to be loved. Coupled with walking in faith and pursuing God and understanding that sometimes things we deem "old-fashioned" are really time honored acts of respect and courtesy that are long lost on the culture we live in. Our world has lost so much of its innocence in its pursuit of busyness and trying to do things in a fast manner. We've lost the ability to savor the moment and honor the other person by getting to know them and taking the time to study their person and get to know who they really are on the inside. This movie is a timeless tail that will never grow old. Because it is intentional about how a man should treat a woman with gentleness, care and respect. It is sadly lost on the cultural landscape we live in today and is greatly needed as an example. My hat goes off to the writer and the actors and everyone that is back to this movie. I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!!!
