Princess Cut

Felt like it was filmed by a hand held camcorder. Some of the acting was way over the top and just terrible.

Awful, twisted view of women, family and personal relations in general. Avoid like the plague. Not even fundamentalist christians should watch this movie.

I liked the fact that the movie has Christian elements in it. To find a person to share your life with is indeed a blessing. Nowadays, most people forget Christian values especially when it comes to find your soulmate. It is sad to see how many girls surrender to the 'wishes' of their boyfriends or how they sell or change themselves just to be loved. Only one thing bothered me very much...the role of the mother. She was passive and had not much to say when her daughter needed advice. Instead she and her daughter went to the father to 'share his wisdom'. I mean...really??? Is she that dumb or is it just the fact that Christianity is coupled with a traditional female role? A woman that cleans up the house, cooks for the family and submits to her husband, whatever he says??? Of course, it's good to have a father or a husband that protects you...but it let's not forget that he doesn't always know what is right for you, he is also just human. Also the Christian Religion is evolving and the presented values are puritan.

PROS

+ Very great spiritual guidance. This is one of its kind, of the very rare Christian movies which lay out transparently the 'don'ts' and especially the one way to 'do' when it comes to courtship, proposal and marriage. It is an excellent display of the dangers to avoid and of the one way to pursue, to put CHRISTOS first and let fall things into place.

Minutes 54 to 60 are an absolute masterpiece in spiritual guidance, from which we all can learn a lot.

+ No problematic content or endorsement.

+ Great camera.

NEUTRAL o Too much emphasis on the physical features of a man, but the movie outbalances this through the emphasis on CHRISTOS and courtship over dating.

O Obviously very fake scenes with dating candidates showing up at their house. But it was meant to be fun and to show the facets of what we ought to encounter out there, no matter if male or female.

CONS

• While the overall story is great, the details of the script and especially its implementation are poor. Some dialogues are spoken straight from the sometimes stilted sheet and are not natural at all, as if the actor would have read from a book. At times it was not easy to sit through the movie, but after noting more of the spiritual guidance come into the movie, it became worthwhile watching.

• Dramatized music. Trivial scenes had been pushed by dramatic and too loud music. The quality of a movie does not come from the degree of the viewer's manipulation through music (this is a very common problem in American cinema and we sadly find few decent movies which are not overbearing).

• Some nonsensical actions.

Christian or not there is no excuse for bad acting. The dad should go back to acting class or just quit.
