Prière de m'épouser

One of those movies where you can't help but wonder what the people who made it were thinking. Reads like a satire of christianity, but it's too on the nose. Paul is an absolute weenie. Chabert is delightful, and her character is the only one that seems at all human.

I am a Baptist Christian, but I know for a fact that just because it's a Christian movie doesn't mean it's a good movie. The writing is bad, the acting is painfully awful, the humor is forced and unfunny,the characters are shallow and forgettable and it's like watching a bad parody of a Christian film and lastly it's boring. I couldn't watch it all, that's how bad it was. Oh did I mention that the main character is dull and loony(in a bad way). Skip this movie and watch a good Christian film like Ten Commandments or Nativity Story.

Sadly, only the main character, Gwyneth, was played by an actor with any real chops. How is it that a supposedly faith-based production company can't even get Christians right? Nearly every Christian in the film was portrayed as a one-dimensional cardboard cutout of the secular stereotype. These characters had no humor. They were judgemental and flat out boring. They all came across very cultish. As one who came to Christ as an adult, I can honestly say it may never have happened if the Christians I'd encountered were like those portrayed here.

I sat down to watch this movie thinking it would be a little cheesy, but overall produce a feel good emotion by the end of it. However, throughout the entire movie I cringed at how awkward they made Christianity seem to the public eye. I felt that Christians were portrayed as awkward and exclusive in this movie. The amount of times the family said "Praise God" was embarrassing. Also, the final straw of my aversion toward this movie came during the mission trip scene when the scripture in James is misquoted. James 1:7- 8 is the incorrect passage, it should be James 1:2-3. I will never suggest this movie to anyone unless they want to spend two hours mocking the screen.

Another in a long line of cornball Hallmark Christmas movies. Even their Hallmarks Hall of fame movies are no longer the great movies of the past.
