ataledo 5 estrela 10 de Junho de 2017 23:01(Previous - I apologise for my bad written English but i'm Portuguese and i just studied it at high-school :() - I really enjoyed the film. 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!! :)

shallowsend-1 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.

blackcatloner So I reviewed the movie Old Fashioned and it's a religious movie that has been billed as the "Anti-Fifty Shades of Grey" and while it's slightly better than Fifty Shades as well as every movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel that ever hit theaters, it's still not very good.We are introduced to Clay Walsh, a man whose past consisted of making Girls Gone Wild-style videos who has since renounced that life and became a born-again Christian who spouts theories about today's dating scene and how dating is basically something that leads to sex before the "getting to know you" phase. However, the people around him have basically written him off as a crazy recluse.That is until free-spirited Amber comes to town. A woman who is fleeing from a series of abusive relationships, Amber winds up in Clay's hometown and rents the apartment above Clay's antique shop. She quickly becomes intrigued by Clay's theories on relationships, most notably the fact that he won't be alone in a room with a woman he's not married to (which I've never heard of before and that actually makes Clay out to look more like a serial killer instead of an honorable man who is trying to respect the opposite sex.)The two soon embark on a relationship where they attempt the impossible: Reintroducing courtship rituals that are a hundred years out of date into a society that revolves around sex, which includes a slightly creepy scene where Clay makes Amber cut up pears to feed to his friend's baby. Overall, some of the overtures of the movie are a bit unsettling and there are scenes where it's padded out with B-roll footage of the beautiful Ohio landscape which the director relies on far too much.But with the exception of the male lead, the acting in the movie is pretty solid, mainly the female lead (even when she's being creepy when she's breaking all her stuff to get Clay to go out with her.)As far as the movie goes, I would recommend this for a bad movie night.

Amy Adler Amber (Elizabeth Roberts) is a pretty lady with a checkered past. She married young and the union didn't last long; she has had a few other bad choices in relationships. Whenever the going gets tough, Amber gets going and starts driving away. Running out of gas, she lands in a small Midwestern town and decides to stay. Very quickly, Amber finds a job in a floral shop and rents an apartment above an antique store. The establishment's owner, Clay (Rik Swartzwelder who also wrote the fine script) is a very unusual man. He doesn't "date" and he refuses to be in the same room alone with a woman who is not his wife. Thus, when an appliance breaks in Amber's apartment, she must step outside while Clay fixes it. Clay relates that he is a Christian man and has a firm direction, now, in life. Yet, without a doubt, he thinks Amber is pretty and she believes him handsome. Slowly, something akin to a twosome starts building. Shunning dates, Clay and Amber nevertheless trek to places together, like the hardware store, the library, and the grocery. Yet, Amber is startled to learn that Clay was once a "player" on college and that HE STILL is friends with a radio shock jock who Amber abhors. Most importantly, Amber may go on to another town, for Clay seems unable to declare his feelings. Will it be a happy or sad finish? This very lovely Pureflix film has two great things going in the lead thespians. Roberts is beautiful and funny as the troubled Amber while Swartzwelder is very handsome and compelling as Clay. Not only that, he WROTE the nice script, also. All of the supporting cast, not well known, do a fine job as well, while the scenery, costumes and photography are top notch. There are a couple of scenes that may confuse viewers, as they seem to display not quite Christian values but ultimately do. Released as a foil to the very objectionable Fifty Shades of Grey, this nice romantic drama will please those seeking the same.
