Valentine's Movie Weekend...Choice 2


Why are Christians against Fifty Shades of Grey?
It’s interesting that OLD FASHIONED is coming out at the same time. One movie is about sex and abuse leading to love, which many people would quickly label fantasy. Of course, harmful might be a much better label. The other movie is about two people moving out of abusive pasts, who know that sex alone guarantees nothing relationally. Is there really hope for old-fashioned, godly romance in today’s culture? 

Is OLD FASHIONED just a reaction to Fifty Shades? 
OLD FASHIONED was written and produced long before Fifty Shades. But it’s fair to say the movie is a powerful response to today’s hookup culture that informs Fifty Shades of Grey. 

Read a comparison at OLD FASHIONED..

Synopsis
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 There, he has become notorious for his lofty and outdated theories on love and romance as well as for his devout belief in God.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.

Let's be encouraged to support a movie that promotes chivarly and an old fashioned commitment!  Be encourage to read more about this movie at : http://www.oldfashionedmovie.com
