Honor at the Box Office?

Have you seen the movie trailer for "Courageous?"


It will be in theaters September 30th. It is about a group of fathers who come together to make a pact to be the best fathers they can be. You can watch the trailer at this link.

My husband (who is also a very attentive father to our son) deemed the trailer as "corny." Corny or not, this is the kind of message I think our society needs right now. It's certainly a good place to start anyways.

I can admit that the Evangelical tone could be a turnoff for many. But, when the vast majority of films applaud immorality and self-centered living, this movie seems a breath of fresh air. Too many films portray men as successful or attractive based on their skill in the bedroom with women they have made no real, legal, binding commitment to. This movie on the other hand, seems to be promoting not only loyalty to spouses, but more specifically to the children who come from those bonds. Instead of glamorizing cohabitation, broken families, and lusty individuals, let's put our attention where it should be - on protecting and supporting the family! We don't get out to the movie theater very often, but I think this may be one we need to support at the box office - if for no other reason than to say, "We need more films like this one."

What do you think of this film? Would you support a film like this? "Too corny" for your taste?
