Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters

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.

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.

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!

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.

STRONG FATHERS, STRONG DAUGHTERS is such a fun, inspiring, and meaningful film. Based on the New York Times bestselling book, by Dr. Meg Meeker, the film focuses on a wealthy businessman, Steve Parston, and his three daughters. Steve has dreamed of building a strong business with his eldest daughter since she was a child, so when the perfect opportunity arises, he expects things to fall right into place. The problem is, his daughter, now a grown woman has other dreams, other plans.

This is such a fun film, and the Parston family is easy to relate to, with a workaholic dad, supportive mom, and three unique daughters who each have different needs and dreams. There are many poignant scenes between this father and his daughters as he tries desperately to hold some assemblance of control over their lives.

I love the blend of angst, fear, adventure, trust, control, passion, and love this film encompasses. And although it provides plenty of laughs, it also reaches deep into viewers hearts, touching spiritual and meaningful places. It showcases the importance our earthly father and our Heavenly Father carries in our lives.

I loved this film. The story is so touching that something as simple as a solitary balloon at the end brought tears to my eyes. It carries gentle yet powerful messages of hope, love, and letting go.

Letting go and letting God...
