After two hundred years, Jane Austen has become one of the popular screenwriters in Hollywood. Her latest adaptation, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, showcases the Dashwood women as they are driven out of their home and seek true love. Though flamboyantly acted, it shows marvelous restraint, respects the church and faith and elevates good sense over the vagaries of unrestrained passion.

LITTLE WOMEN

Quality:
****
Content:
+3 Some minor questionable elements. (Media-wisdom is suggested to discuss.)
LITTLE WOMEN is Louisa May Alcott's classic story of four sisters in Civil War era New England. While the strong religious themes in Alcott's book are toned down, the movie does contain positive Christian characters & actions, strong parental figures, chaste courtships, and especially winning performances by Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst and Claire Danes.

A WALK TO REMEMBER

In A WALK TO REMEMBER, troubled teenaged boy, Landon, played by Shane West, finds his life is changed as he falls in love with Jamie Sullivan, a Christian pastor’s daughter, played by pop star Mandy Moore. As described by Landon, both Jamie’s exemplary strength of character and her faith in him saved him because she was the only one who believed in him.

FIREPROOF

+4 Biblical, usually Christian, worldview, with no questionable elements whatsoever.
FIREPROOF is an incredibly gripping, compelling, heartrending, transformational story about saving a marriage between a small-town fire chief and his working wife that is on the rocks.

CHRISTIAN MINGLE

Content:
+4 Biblical, usually Christian, worldview, with no questionable elements whatsoever.
CHRISTIAN MINGLE is a comedy about a successful advertising executive who becomes smitten by a Christian man who works at his father’s construction company. Much of CHRISTIAN MINGLE is laugh-out-loud funny. It has a great heart and a very good evangelistic message.

PRINCESS CUT

Quality:
**
Content:
+4 Biblical, usually Christian, worldview, with no questionable elements whatsoever.
PRINCESS CUT is a romantic drama about a young woman named Grace who wants to find and marry the perfect man. Although it has good, Christian intentions with a strong Christian and biblical worldview, PRINCESS CUT fails miserably with its uneven, sometimes poor storyline, acting and writing.

I STILL BELIEVE

+1 Moderately questionable elements. (Discernment required for young children.)
I STILL BELIEVE is the poignant, heartrending true story of the famous Christian singer Jeremy Camp’s marriage to Melissa, who’s dying of cancer. Clearly and poignantly showing that true love never fails, the movie is beautifully filmed, very well acted, heartrending, and engaging.

A WEEK AWAY

A WEEK AWAY is a musical on Netflix about a troubled teenager who’s caused problems in every foster home he’s has been, but, when a family offers to put him in a summer camp that’s Christian, he’s hesitant. A WEEK AWAY is a fun, exciting, highly enjoyable Christian musical that the entire family will love.
