The leading man often seems more like a brooding menace in this handsomely produced but painfully slow faith-based romantic drama.

It's incredibly rare to see an American movie with a Christian perspective that's more invested in philosophizing and empathizing than in eschatological pandering, and for that alone "Old Fashioned" deserves commendation.

Rated: 2.5/4

Los Angeles Times

Disturbing is the film's apparent conviction that the surefire way to a woman's heart involves lots of candles and a mani-pedi, the sort of notion that isn't so much cute and old-fashioned as it is acutely offensive.

Director-writer-producer Swartzwelder stars as Clay, an intensely unlikeable, old-fashioned old fascist with serious serial killer vibes.

Rated: 1/5

Awkwardly written with paper-thin caricatures serving as characters and amateurish production values.

Rated: 1.5/4.0

Old Fashioned's male writer, director and star seems to think his vision is what women want, but his attempt at squeaky-clean alternative isn't just boring, it's flat-out undesirable.

I liked the one line in this movie "our job is not the looking, it's the becoming. Once you are the right person, once you are ready" However, movie theme is quite traditional because of male character's exposure to the world. His contribution was almost none to the relationship except that she was in love with him. He is also a bad actor.

Not the greatest acting, but there were tears streaming down my face as I watched this film. There is redemption, forgiveness and love when the Lord is in their midst.

A wonderful story at many different layers. The story itself is cute, but the underling story line and editing is wonderful!
