Review of Old Fashioned (2014) by Julie A — 16 Aug 2015

I loved this movie because of all the little connections within. It's called "Old Fashioned", and the symbolism of that statement was inherent throughout the movie. The main two characters were surrounded by older cars, older home furnishings, they listened to radio shows on older-style radios, etc.

This symbolism was even more inherent when the friend of Clay's who was living with his girlfriend had brand new, more modern furnishings. Anyway, I thought that was neat. In general, the movie was a very cute romance, with lots of funny moments built in.

I really enjoyed all the romantic tension that was built up throughout the movie, without any kissing or those love scenes we've so come to expect over the years. It was refreshing to not see what I've been trained to expect.

I really enjoyed this movie and decided that I needed to own it, not only so I could watch it again whenever I want, but so that I have another movie that I would be 100% okay with my kids watching.
