Princess Cut Movie Review

I am always on the lookout for a good family movie that has a good story and something my teens won’t find too cheesy. When I heard about Princess Cut from Watchman Pictures, it sounded like something my twelve year old daughter would enjoy watching.

The movie is set in a small Carolina town and tells the story of a young women who has been through a few relationships, but always gets jilted by her boyfriends. She thought she had found true love, but then realizes that is not the case each time. She tells her friend that she is done with guys for a while. Her parents talk with her and tell her true love is worth the wait, but being young, she has a hard time believing them. She ends up meeting a guy, but he is not at all what she had hoped it would be. Realizing her parents were right about true love, she gives her dating life to God and tells Him she will wait for the right man. Little does she know that God is already working on a young man for her. In the end, she learns that true love is really worth the wait and that we should rely on God to guide us as we date.

Initially, I was just going to watch this with my daughter, but after I watched it, I decided that it was not a movie just for girls, but teen boys could benefit from also watching the movie. This movie teaches how to treat a young woman and how to treat her parents as well. Girls can learn what kind of guy to not date and to trust God and her parents for knowing what is right. Teen boys can learn that they should respect a girl's parents and also respect the girl they are dating.

After the movie, I was able to talk with my sons about how they should treat a woman, not only when they are dating, but at all times. They should treat all woman with respect. They should also be respectful of their elders which include parents of who they will date and marry.

I talked with my 12 year old daughter about how she should not date just any man, but date one that shows her respect and treats us (her parents) with respect.

We all enjoyed the movie and I didn’t have to worry about the content (even though I did preview it beforehand).
