Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

mmtasi-32443 This movie illustrates God's way of bringing faith-filled believers in Christ together in relationship. It is true, God's ways of bringing a couple together work and those ways are higher than our ways. I know true believing people who were obedient to The Lord and were brought together by God in unique and exquisite ways only our Creator can do.

faiukwuomah I've seen this movie once and it is excellent. It shows that even in this day and age, purity before marriage is essential.Some may think its "outdated", but it is not. It is essential in our Christian life, not just on the outside, but also on the inside as well. The Bible did say that we should flee from youthful lusts.And at the same time, it is an encouragement to me as a Christian, and I do look to get married someday to a real God-fearing man.So if you're looking for a Christian film that touches on the subject of purity before marriage, I will highly recommend this power-packed movie to all teenagers, especially Christian teens. Its worth the watch.

sarahkolenda It's been about a decade since I've seen this movie but I would never recommend it for anyone. I to found the acting and costumes awful, the dad creepy beyond belief and the entire basis of the movie which seemed to suggest that kissing automatically means loss of purity. Maybe not now but watch out! I felt that the message they were trying to get out was being handled very simplistically and even thoughtlessly. The entire thing seemed like a study in manipulation not careful decision making. Also I have to say that when I was given this movie it was done with much the same air that it was made in. My decision concerning this topic was made long before I even new what virginity was. I made it for myself after being empowered to do so by the same person that much later gave me the movie. If only they had realized that a few well placed words kept simple and empowering, said by someone who obviously was looking back with regret and trying to inspire me to reach for more had a far lasting affect that some creepy cheesy movie. When a woman knows who she is and that she has power to choose that makes all the difference in the world. A real father protects his daughter by inspiring her to dream and to value herself and others not by scaring or manipulating her.

Philosophy Walker I'm a minister's wife, and I think this was an AWFUL film for Christian teens.For one thing, the film itself is just plain *bad*. The dialogue, costumes, and overall quality make the film seem a lot older than it really is. When I first saw it, I figured the film was made around 1974 or so, but apparently it dates from 1998. It doesn't seem like it, what with the retro outfits and the way everyone seems to say things like "Well, gee whiz, mister! I sure would like to stay pure!" But beyond the poor production values, the film says disturbing things about the ways in which young girls ought to relate to their peers, their love interests, and their families. A young woman is a PERSON— a person who has agency, and an individual identity, and isn't just an extension of their male relatives' personalities. Throughout the film, Pamela is continually prevented from doing anything on her own, and must either follow her father's commands or risk learning a lesson "from God" about what happens when you disobey daddy.While I think it's good to present kids with the message that peer pressure is something to be resisted, and that being like everyone else isn't always a good thing, I think we ought to be teaching them to rely on their own personal sense of right and wrong— and not necessarily to unquestioningly follow everything their (male) relatives tell them even into adulthood. Furthermore, I'm disturbed by the manner in which Pamela's "relationship" with Frederick became an actual marriage— Frederick never seems to ask Pamela what she'd like to do or what she enjoys, but prefers to ask her father, who then answers for her. Fred asks Pam's dad if she can come for a ride with him in his car— but he doesn't actually ask HER. He asks Pam's dad if he can marry her without even finding out if she wants to marry him. And when Fred proposes to Pam, Pam can't even say yes without watching for her father's nod of approval. Creepy, if you ask me.Overall, this film was unwatchable, except from a too-bad-to-be-real standpoint (i.e., a Mystery Science Theater type of deal), and taught some really disappointing lessons to young women who, surely, are in need of better advice than "do whatever men tell you to do." I'd certainly never want to show this to my daughter!
