The agony of the young man trying to explain his new found faith without sounding preachy, the wit and humor of Aunt Zella, the exposure of the fractured man persona in today's culture, and the struggle to avoid embracing the legalism so prevalent in many conservative churches and relationships today -- all of these issues rolled into one storyline show how truly clever and rich is this commendable screenplay. Bravo!

This is a story about love, and forgiveness. There are some laugh-out-loud moments, some truly “what in the world is going happen next!?!” plot turns, and some touching scenes that will honestly have you reaching for the Kleenix. Highly recommended.

However, if you're unwilling to slow down, and take a moment to consider and roll around in your brain some of the truly vital societal issues being presented in this movie, don’t bother watching this. You haven’t been hurt enough to understand what this movie is talking about.… Expand

It's a rather Old Fashioned notion to expect that from a film in this day and age but Rik Swartzwelder managed it quite confidently. The ideals and beliefs in this film may not be for everyone, in fact, many would choose to scoff it off. But I found OF to be raw and real enough to make us pause and ponder on its possibilities. The pace of the movie is a quiet stroll, with just the right measure of melodies and sceneries to accompany us. The landscape is breathtaking and cinematography, beautifully captured! There were brief instances where a scene or two seemed a tad contrived but not enough to impose on the overall flow of the film. The main characters are both credible and charming together. They easily convince you to invest in them and leave you curious about what their future holds. To me, that in itself says the movie accomplished its purpose. it made me take a slice of the story and characters with me and left me feeling hopeful that it is possible to hold out for these Old Fashioned ideas. A delightful film!… Expand

The protagonist is a former serial date rapist who repeatedly shows himself to be mentally unstable. I literally cannot imagine a less romantic premise.… Expand

Original, beautiful, not preachy or condemning in the least. This is a rare thing: a well-made Christian movie. Quality filming with a fantastic message of grace, true love, and honesty, delivered with stellar acting and brilliant humor.
