The Engagement Plan

Short shorts, sleeveless outfits, swimsuit with robe?, low cut tops, short dress, there is a scene where a woman is sitting in a short dress and you can see up the sides to her bum for this scene I rated it severe and one star, they should've reshot that scene, in a scene a woman is shown lusting after a man, not good, especially a Christian themed movie, they didn't need to add that, so inappropriate especially for a Christian movie, a short shirt can see stomach and back. There is a squealed blasphemy, they should have reshot that scene as well. Great movie, love all the characters, great story, then they ruined the movie with these shots. They could have done so much better.

I would have given it 10 stars if I didn't have to see up a skirt, hear blasphemy or what sounds like blasphemy, and lusting.

For a Christian movie they ruined it leaving those in!

The cast is attractive and the romcom storyline standard. The city vs country lifestyles are a bit insulting (to city folk), but that's an old school standard for this otherwise wholesome genre.

The use of scripture "quotations" is odd when put on the lips of someone unchurched, but that's a problem with the genre in general since only certain people speak this way. Again, that's okay--but put on the lips of the wrong character.

You may think that these opinions would require a lower rating. But, Anen, amen, I say unto you: I like critical thinking whilst watching a fun romcom, with its classic propaganda. Oh, and did I mention, the cast is attractive!?!

I loved this movie. It incorporated a deep Faith, with the silliness of the city boy in the country, the ex-boyfriend protagonist, nervous boyfriend asking her dad for his daughter's hand in marriage. What I loved was how the characters worked through life situations with prayer. Not preachy, just gentle conversations. Even the protagonist and boyfriend end up apologizing and shaking hands. It was a fun movie but also encouraging and faith-building. It left us with some things to think about. Judd Nelson and Eva LaRue were fun as the very cityfied parents of the boyfriend. Faith Ford and Ted McGinley were great in their roles as parents who model living by faith day by day, in their lives on the farm.

I just loved this movie.

The movie starts out with a lot of silliness, about like you'd expect. Wade is a Planner. I think he said every hour of every day and at times it seems like. He plans a proposal down to details that rank up there as above and beyond.

You might get some laughs over his early times on the farm. Of course they had to overplay the city boy on the farm. He runs into an electric fence and looks like a cartoon version for a few seconds. He gets out of a pickup and lands in about a two foot square pile of manure. Later he falls in it and then gets covered in it. He has a couple of shining moments. He delivers a calf by himself.

This is a faith based movie, but there appears to be a hypocritical villain trying to break up Wade and Kayla. At times Cam doesn't seem very Christian. One thing in particular was very bad.

But there are a lot of serious moments and many of the circumstance were true to life, even for Christians. Obstacles that discourage and appear to derail all hope. Wrong choices and actions followed by repentance. Man plans and God just does his thing.

For me personally, some of the "funny" things and some of the deviousness really didn't appeal to me. I think that's just me, and many will enjoy it making this a good movie as a whole. Even if you are like me and dislike some of that, the serious moments make this movie worth sticking with.

Loved the story and good acting. It was great to see Ted and Faith together again. They both aged very well. Wade and Kayla were an interesting couple with good chemistry. Cam was good as the stereo typical ex-boyfriend protagonist.

I like the house was not a grand estate, but seemed a bit small for a large farm. I suppose the basement was fully furnished and had extra bathroom and bedrooms for all the guests in the house.

The collection plate challenge was cringe and ridiculous.

These pure flix movies need to figure out they can still focus on faith without having all the forced Bible quoting.
