The Engagement Plan

I love films that have faith in them because that's my everyday world. My family is very open about our faith. It is hard to find comedies that are actually clever and funny though instead of crude and purile. This film was delightfully entertaining. It ranks up there with the best comedies in its genre. It is not only funny but it's sweet too. My entire family laughed out loud during several scenes. We really enjoyed the characters and the acting was good. Two males (ages 39 & 61) and 2 females (ages 33 & 60) all agreed after watching the movie that we want a few sequels. One on "Maggie's" love story and then one for "Cam's". We'd love to see more of these characters!

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 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.

Too many silly caricatures of what a city folk or a country folk is. Yes, the opening 20 minutes has a lot of very silly things in it and I expected it to get better, but it didn't. It seems to me you should be able to make a faith-based movie without so many stereotypes. Not a fan. These are the kind of faith-based movies that give faith-based new movies, a bad reputation.

So many silly things. The city guy showing up to a farm looking to do work but not bringing any work clothes. His father going to church but answering his phone in the middle of a prayer. Just dumb stuff people aren't that silly..

Seems like it was written and directed by somebody in junior high. There is some good acting in some good writing, but it is sickening soap opera-Ish.

I guess that's 90 minutes of my life. I'll never get back.
