DVD Review: Old Fashioned
I received three pieces to the Old Fashioned package. The DVD, the novelization, and a devotional. Today I review the DVD.
Old Fashioned is how Clay Walsh now lives his life. There was a time women didn’t mean much to him and he went through them without respect or a lot of thought. He is so ashamed of his past he vowed to never be that man. His principles are old fashioned.
Amber Hewson runs. When it’s time to find a new place she gets up and she goes. When she ends up renting above Clay’s shop she doesn’t understand. He doesn’t date. Girls aren’t allowed to be alone with him.
And as crazy as it sounds, it’s refreshing.
Clay and Amber get to know each other with Clay’s way of doing things. Not everyone agrees, especially her co workers and his frat brothers. Can his old fashioned ideals take Clay and Amber for the long haul?
This is a sweet movie and it is refreshing. The world will never understand such a concept and that’s why Clay’s friend is such a jerk. But to see a woman treated with respect is great to see.
It’s an entertaining movie but I guess I want to pluck the writer’s brain, who also played the part of Clay. Was he motivated by wanting to change the world or could he not let go of the guilt? Because the aunt that yells at him, she warns him his chivalry act borders on pride. And I thought the same.
But that’s okay because I have a reaction, and that’s a mark of a good movie. It gets you talking and wondering long after the credits close.
I also enjoyed the setting. Rik Swartzwelder chose Tuscarawas County in Ohio, where he grew up, as the setting for Old Fashioned. What a peaceful place.
