Cait Burton I had the pleasure of viewing this movie several weeks ago and loved it. The story of young love being torn apart is not unfamiliar, but there are a variety of ways to relate a tale. A young girl, who has a troubled family life, begins a fascination with Joan Of Arc. At a very young age, she and the boy she loves agree to remain pure until they can marry on her 18th birthday. Although he mysteriously has to leave, Sarah continues her vow to wait for him. Of course, this makes her an even greater temptation for the high school boys. However, both her aloofness and her visions also make her an object of ridicule among many of her peers. The arrival of a new boy in school does cause Sarah some conflict though as she finds herself being drawn to him despite her vow to wait for her first love. I was impressed with both the storyline and with the acting. Benjamin Dane's portrayal of a Catholic priest, who is Sarah's confidante and adviser, is very well played. The message of purity is also a very welcome, especially when compared with many of the films promoted for teenagers today.
bjornie08 the worst movie i've seen in years... its just amazing how some people give too much credit to the people who made this, should i say, crap. the whole "Christian" intention was very evident, yes... but the execution was far worse than a original TV movie. Lighting=failed, cinematography=failed, direction=failed, acting=failed. IT PRETTY MUCH FAILED IN EVERY CATEGORY I COULD THINK OF. I am a Catholic, but this movie is so bad I'm sure even people in heaven would not watch this... But kudos to the whole "waiting till marriage" thing, I'm sure that would earn them points above... but as for making GOOD movies, THEY ARE HELLBOUND!
Brennen O'Donnell This was possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. When I heard about it, I thought the message behind it sounded intriguing, so I was somewhat excited to see it. 10 minutes into the movie I learned that was a mistake. With horrible acting and an inconsistent plot, this movie made me want to shoot someone in the hand, which can be fatal (as is proved in this movie). The acting was terrible and the whole side plot of the high school bad ass who is trying to rape the main character was completely unnecessary. O ya, and another thing, why did the love of her life drive away in a limo and have a freaking helicopter at their wedding?! It was completely random and unexplained! I just have to say one thing more, watch out for those cows, they've been known to kill a man.
enragedmonkey I suppose this could be seen as a spoiler... however the poor script makes it hard to call it one because you can see everything the movie is going to throw at you from about the beginningI don't want to sound like I am just raving here. Remember high school health class? Remember those movies you watched in them. I liked those days when you would watch some corny movie in class about abortion or date rape instead of hearing some teacher drone on about it in obscure terms that turn the situation into some sterile subject to talk about in class. Well I paid to go to a theater and watch the baptist equivalent of a health movie, and it was not as fun to pay to watch such a thing.In all honesty, this movie is the worst movie I have ever seen. Let me start with the fact that the synopsis i saw before seeing it failed to mention that it was a Christian conversion film. Films with blatant objectives are always annoying but this one took it to a level I didn't know existed. Lets say you are down with the whole having scenes of movies being people reading bible passages to each other or having religion be displayed in a way that should be disgusting to anyone who actually holds the beliefs represented (which by the way are not even standard Christian beliefs but some strange skewed belief that is disgusting.)First off lets talk about acting. I am not someone who normally notices or cares about relatively bad acting. I also have liked when movies cast people that are actually about the age of the person they are playing in high school settings. However I don't think the actors they chose had even looked at the scripts before performing in the movie. The pauses were awkward and long. The Cinematography probably didn't help this feeling as it tended to look much like a TV show. The Cinematography of some WB TV show would stand alone as a reason to complain about the appearance of a movie, however this movie has another feature that gives it a great feel of film naivety. The exposure and lighting are horrendous. Every scene looks pretty terrible because there are random bright spots that shouldn't be bright or other amateur looking things. The technical aspects of the movie are worth cringing over but the story is not anything better. The plot is full of holes and is incredibly predictable. The story in brief is some girl who admires Joan of Arc begins to be made fun of for being a virgin in Jr. high. After being roughed up for being a 12 year old virgin she runs into the arms of a boy whom she falls in love with and makes a promise to marry so they can have sex in wedlock at the age of 18. Then in the present where she is 17 a new classmate arrives who is blonde just like the kid of her past and seems immediately interested in getting to know her. After 2 hours of the end twist being blatantly obvious he finally tells her on her 18th birthday and says he couldn't tell her before because he wanted her to be in love with the him of today not the 11 year old him. (which somehow explains why he became friends with her by saying you can't ask me anything about myself only i can ask you so i can write an article about your life!?)The bad guy character in the movie is also a blob of misguided symbolism, poor acting, and confusion. He is initially displayed as being a creepy creepy womanizing gun freak and his character stays this one dimensional the entire time. Unless you consider the fact that he suddenly acquires a demonic voice that seems to be trying to make the point that the bad you see around you is Satan's fault as he is here to ruin your life. The end leaves you confused, as to whether he was the devil, thinking that you must have imagined the lead girl being shot as she was fine in the next scene, and her friend that had been shot in the hand seemed to have wandered out into the woods after the incident even though i saw him collapse in the field earlier. Then he reveals that he is in fact the lover we all already knew he was and we get to know that if you lead a good monogamous life you do in fact get to have sex on bear skin rugs with fires in the background.
