Justice of the Peace
What a fantastic portrayal of an alternate view of romance. The one
that God intended for us. The best aspect of the film is that the
protagonists are not perfect, or pale-faced virgins. They are far from
that, and it makes the movie -- and its message--feel more real. The
performances are surprisingly fantastic for an indie; Tyler and Clay's
grandmother in particular are terrific actors. The scenery is also
breathtaking, in particular for those fortunate to have grown up in the
rolling hills of Ohio.
The movie is being marketed against 50 Shades, and it is an appropriate
contrast. Mutual respect and a love of God are essential components of
a healthy, long-term relationship. Life is reality, not fantasy. I only
wish I had seen the movie when I was younger. Hopefully young adults
everywhere can use the film as a how--to guide for navigating the crazy
modern dating world. Thumbs up--way up!!!
