Courageous Love

The Shelby Construction Company is in chaos with the sudden death of its founder and the company is now owned by brother and sister Jared Withrow and Holly Houk. But Houk's got a career mapped out and it's up to Wtihrow to see it through management changes.

It's a tough challenge because within the company itself there are some folks sabotaging things. As a scapegoat they've picked out Christian girl Jessica Koloian. They don't reckon with her faith.

This one falls under the God works in mysterious ways situation And of course Withrow and Koloian are fated to be mated as well.

Truly I think 90% of that company would have been polishing up their resumes before all heck breaks loose.

Plot: A 30 something, whiny artist (Jared Withrow) and sister inherit the family business after their parent's sudden death. Jared and other executives of Shelby Engineering make terrible business decisions. Combine that with an employee and mobster who are sabatoging the company. Jared meets an office manager (Jessica Koloian), and they fall in love. Jessica is an idealized Christian single young woman. She rehabilitates everyone she comes into contact with. By the end of the movie, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you leave feeling encouraged. And a surprise twist of beating the odds and coming out on top.

My wife gave the movie 4/10, but I'm a sucker for cheesy, romantic movies. My favorite part was the video with the Shelby parent's. Terrible production quality, but that's what they were going for. It was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing. The reason it lost a point (9/10 vs 10/10) was because of 2 things: 1) the movie tried to do too much. Too many side stories that really didn't weave together very well, and 2) the casting of all side characters was pretty weak. Give this one a chance! You won't be disappointed.

Problem with focusing on religion is that fundamentals like writing and acting are a low priority. As others have said, this may be some of the worst acting you'll ever see on screen. Combined with bad writing and direction this film is a disaster. I dare you to watch more than 10 minutes.

The story concept is good. Ripped from a Hallmark movie, it's an exec who pretends to be someone else, then meets the girl of his dreams. The viewer knows there will be a reckoning at some point, just like in the Hallmark movies.

Unfortunately, this film suffers greatly from poor production that chopped the film into a million pieces and made it hard to follow or understand at times.

Absolutely loved this movie. Great family movie written well and not afraid to recognize God is the center of it all. A must see movie.
