Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters

Loving ,true life story with common teenager behavior and common father emotions over older dauhter's plans : wedding dress should have been traditional Mexican style after all the effort to establish their committment and flight to Mexico-Nueva Vida and thei servitude plans in Kenya to : same for groom and father-in-law. Mother-in-law had cultural dress, as did younger sister/ daughter friends with dad finally-should have taken pics of bride walking down isle, of ceremony,of alter kiss, group families pic and shown them to dad. We needed to be able to read that yellow highlighted sentence which evidently changed his perspective-otherwisw loved the story.

This movie was all over the board. It's mediocre at best. They made the dad out to be the bad guy when I felt like it was more of the fiancé. The mom let the dad be bad cop all the time. I don't like how the dad had a change of heart in basically the snap of the fingers. This movie was such a downer and I hated the way it ended. Happily Ever After - maybe. They barely know each other and then to go and do mission work for 3 years?? I feel like this movie would be better as a book so it could explore each character more. The characters are complicated and I felt like they just quickly tied up the ending without really solving anything.

Excellent! Well done. Cinematography, acting, set, storyline. All well done. Lively and lovely. Definitely a must see. Family film. Great job! Well done. Must see. Excellent!

If you like comedy which exaggerates, especially about all the humorous pitfalls of meeting the family and wedding planning, then you will love this. I don't. I have a particular dislike for that time of comedy. I don't think Bart Johnson as Steve, the bride's dad, helped my outlook on this movie. I think he was over the top even for this kind of movie.

I expected something that would emphasize how a strong and loving father helps a daughter to grow up strong. That theme was definitely there. I just didn't expect it to be in a movie where families from two different cultures meet and plan a wedding.

The story follows a lot of the usual lines for that type of movie. The comedy is about dad embarrassing himself, not to mention being unreasonable and demanding. I guess it did that well enough. Then toward the end, as you'd expect, it turns serious and half the characters change their personalities 180 degrees.

I was browsing through PureFlix and came across this film. I am pleasantly surprised how good this is. It's a great balance of drama and comedy that conveys the importance of a father-daugher relationship. With a stellar cast and good directing, this movie had me crying and laughing and remembering what a wonderful dad I had. It shows how really important it is for dads to be involed on their kid's lives. This movie definitely needs to be seen by the whole family. Afterwards, it might be helpful to have a family discussion. Parents, make sure to tell your kids how much you love them. So glad I took the time to watch it.
