As you know we recently sponsored a showing of the movie "Courageous". In the past I honestly could not watch a Christian movie and take it seriously. They often seemed corny and their humor was, well, laughable. That may seem a bit harsh, but for a person who loves movies and wants to see the Christian movie business grow, I was often disheartened with what I encountered.
The movie "Fireproof" was a pleasant surprise, but "Courageous" took things to a whole new level. This really sets the standard for Christian movies. It was an incredible film that not only had humor that I genuinely enjoyed, but drama that would make any grown man cry, and a few action scenes that literally had me on the edge of my seat.
In the middle of the movie there is an amazing gospel presentation. It doesn't come across cheesy or overbearing, but is simple, to the point, and effective. I was so impressed!
The call of the movie is for men to stand up and start taking charge of their families in a Biblical way. It simply asks us the question, "Why be a good father, when you can be a great father?". Men, married or single, are called by God to be leaders in their families, communities, and churches. As the lead character says, "So where are you men of courage?"
I would encourage everyone to go see this movie. It would be great for a guys night, or something to take a non-christian friend to see. Let's not only stand up to be Godly men, but let's utilize this movie to reach the lost for Christ!In my book this movie gets an A+, 10 out of 10, 2 thumbs up, or however you want to say it.
