There's a film out that premiered over Valentine's Weekend.
Old Fashioned is simply one of the most endearing independent films I've ever seen. It's refreshing in it's portrayal of a guy who actually stands up for respecting women. Enough so that he actively resists the female lead's romantic advances, steering their fledging relationship along the lines of getting to know each other as two individuals first. In fact, the male lead doesn't believe in dating, at all.
If this sounds corny or simplistic or overly-preachy, I assure you. It's not. Old Fashioned states the case for getting to know someone for who they are in an intensely interesting, thought-provoking and challenging way - all the time being romantic without being blatant about it.
Maybe I just don't see enough films, but it's been a very, very long time since one came along like this one.
Kudos to everyone involved!
Please don't take my word for it. Check out the movie site for yourself.
