Old Fashioned (2014)

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I received Old Fashioned in my stocking at Christmas. I am sure it was given to me because I like a good love story, however, it was so much more than that! That is a very simply stated depiction of how godly dating and singlehood should be with a great love story mixed in.

I liked the pace of the movie, the cinematography, the antique feel. Filled with a lot, what the danish call "hygge" Something I think is very precious and not often captured in many movies. The movie, on the surface might seem like a religious one if one want to see it that way but I for one, am not religious, and it did not seem like one to me as much as it did seem like a movie exploring the idea of 'dating' on a deeper level. To an extent, It did explore the idea of a person having a relationship with him/herself and its importance. Yes, the guy in the movie, did seem screwed up and had these silly rules to his lifestyle with regard to dating. But the girl was also screwed up except it didn't seem that way so much because that is perceived normal these days with everyone running away from their relationships to the next one. And this aspect is exactly what caught me about the movie- That we are all screwed up in many ways so we might as well take the time to get to know each other, which in the process, only helps us get to know ourselves better with the other person being a mirror. Romantic relationships have the power to take us to those realms in ourselves that no other relationship does. It is not easy. It is very confronting as the other person is a mirror to look into ourselves. Now during this process of looking into ourselves, many of us, run away, hide, create walls and boundaries and silly rules to protect ourselves, which is what the characters in the movie do as a result of the shadows that exist within them. I like the pace of the movie and the idea of taking it slow coz i guess facing our shadows and allowing someone into our lives does take time, being authentic and vulnerable with ourselves in the presence of another, does take time. Allowing ourselves to get intimate with another is allowing someone into our space and that takes some getting to know, and connecting, not just on the surface but on a deeper level. And that takes time which is a beautiful process. I also loved the dating ideas portrayed in the movie. Cheers to taking time and taking it slow :)Cheers to the "Old Fashioned" ways. It does have a charm too.

no this film is about people adhering to Christian myths, which is pathetic to say the least. They áre trying to push the Christian myths and they have no problems lying for jebus. One can wonder what persons fund this and why? Furthermore why is this garbage even made? Do they really Think that people are that stupid?

Grab a comfy blanket, a bowl of popcorn and your sweetheart and watch Old Fashioned starring Rik Swartzwelder and Elizabeth Ann Roberts. The main characters as well as the supporting cast are so down to earth and relatable . You feel like rooting for this couple from the very start ! As most of us, they come with baggage from their past that of course weighs heavily upon their hearts. This really isn't the average boy meets girl story and to find out what I mean you must add this movie to your watch list. Guys, buy Old Fashioned DVD for your girl and believe me if you take time and watch it with her it will reinforce your feelings for one another. It shows that we can move on from our past, incorporate faith into our lives, be the people we know in our hearts we are and love without hesitation of not being accepted for our flaws.
