Princess Cut (Review)

Today I'm sharing our review of the movie Princess Cut from Watchman Movies.   The movie is 97 minutes in length and also contains deleted scenes, bloopers, behind the scenes footage and film trailers for other movies.    The movie is suggested for ages 12 and up, but I didn't see anything that I would consider inappropriate for younger viewers.

In a nutshell, we LOVED this movie.   The actors and actresses did a wonderful job, the storyline flows really well and there are some sound, Biblical guidelines discussed in the context of dating/courting/marriage without coming across in a preachy way.   I realize that last sentence sounds like a contradiction, but presentation is often everything and this movie presents the topics in a wonderfully open way that holds fast to the truth but doesn't bash you over the head.

The story focuses around Grace, a young Christian lady looking for her mate and learning the hard way that things aren't always as they appear.    There is no physical displays of affection (not even a kiss) shown between her an her former (or current) beau.    However, the topic is broached between Grace and her mother as Grace shares that she has kissed the young man she's seeing and that he's pushing her physical relationship boundaries, and that she's not comfortable with the way the relationship is going.  Later in the movie, Grace sees first hand how getting emotionally entangled with the wrong person can cause issues for everyone.

Other issues that are touched upon is how our "friends" will often encourage us to go against what we know is right, dangers of putting yourself in a secluded location and how quickly a romantic interest can go south when boundaries are crossed.

This movie is a wonderful depiction of how a Godly courtship and parental consent and involvement in the process can help guide and protect a young heart.   I watched the movie with both my girls (ages 12 and 14) and they then went on to watch it several more times.   It gave us some great conversation about dating vs. courting, proper physical boundaries and the need for parental input when those areas arise.

I highly recommend the movie both for girls and boys as it really sets the standard for each.
