Agenda alert on this one.
ReplyDeleteI was just coming to see if there were reviews up for this movie yet. I see someone suggesting an agenda alert. Can anyone be more specific on what to expect and whether it is worth my time to watch? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I thought I made a note somewhere on here, but I'm not very tech savvy, or perhaps Net didn't post it, so....? :) I can't remember all my thoughts, but I remember thinking that the movie and characters had good potential but they kind of ruined it with a few things for me. First was that the main character's brother was married to another man and they had a child and they were front and center for all the family get-togethers. Also the two lead characters had a scene where they were lip-locked, body-to-body in a beautiful Hawaiian pool but they both knew he was still married and had a daughter with him on the trip (he and his wife had been separated for a few months). I view movies from a Christian perspective and these two issues were the ones that bothered me the most. Also, I was not impressed with the Freeform channel's commercials for their other programs (not all that family friendly). Hope this helps, I know we all have different viewing standards.
DeleteThanks very much. I too look at whether a movie is family friendly from a Christian perspective so I appreciate your reply. I won't waste my time with it. Thanks again. Merry Christmas!
