Help me find a squeaky clean chick flick

[wdwiala]

I am in charge of finding a movie for our ladies night at church. The movie needs to be as vice free as possible . I prefer a movie that has only been released in the last couple of years. I know a couple of Hallmark movies but not all of them have appropriate church content. Can you help me find a movie or two?

yikes!! sorry, can't help. hope you find something.

hmmm tough one. I would think you'd need to go more 'classic'. We just had a ladies night at a cabin and watched 'The Young Queen Victoria'. It was excellent and everyone really enjoyed it.

Also this is older, but not as well known, 'That Thing You Do' An awesome movie, very upbeat. I don't know anyone that hasn't liked that one. Tom Hanks wrote, directed and acted in it.

How about "Love Comes Softly"? The only thing is that a number of people may have already seen it.

I love that movie too!

Calendar Girls? Not what it sounds like. Movie about a true event that occurred in England a few years back. Very funny with Helen Mirren.

These are both rated PG:

My Big Fat Greek Wedding
While You were sleeping

Oh...what about Father of the Bride (with Steve Martin)?
I know that's older, but it's a really cute movie...

'Return to Me' with Minnie Driver. Kids-In-Mind, which rates movies based on sex, violence & language, gives it a 2,3,3 which is pretty mild. Here's what they say:

SEX/NUDITY 2 - Some sexual innuendo and many kisses. We see a woman sitting in a bathtub with her knees pulled up to her chest (her bare arms, shoulders and shins are visible), a shirtless man, a man wearing boxers and a T-shirt (he briefly does a comical "bump-and-grind" movement) and several women in cleavage-revealing tops (in one scene, we see a lot of cleavage when a woman partially opens her robe while looking in a mirror at a scar on her chest).

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - We briefly see a woman lying on a stretcher being rushed into a hospital (we see blood on her face and on the stretcher); we later learn she dies. We see a very sickly woman (bluish face and lips) lying in a hospital bed. A woman slaps a man. During a few scenes we see a man with lots of blood on his shirt (he's not injured but was helping someone who was). We briefly see what is presumably a heart wrapped in some slightly bloody cloth.

PROFANITY 3 - A few anatomical references, some scatological references, many mild obscenities (in a couple of scenes a child repeats the word after an adult says it) and some insults.

How about "Going the Distance" (check the ratings/content first) or "Letters to Juliet"?

 

[lillygator]

you can see these movies in church??

I was also going to suggest Calendar Girls.

But then - some other posters have mentioned some of my favorites too -
Return to Me
While You Were Sleeping
Father of the Bride
...are all great movies!

Freedom Writers is also a great movie - true story, and somewhat inspirational.

Another family favorite - Under the Same Moon. A nice story that is about the love a mother and son have for each other.

OP - you'll have to let us know what you picked!

 

[Smile&Nod]

How about The Blind Side? Real life and great people!

Eat Pray Love is also good - just watched that the other day.

I cried like a baby at that movie.

Me too. It also has one of my favorite quotes of all time:

Bob Rueland: Elizabeth and I were married by the time we were twenty and we'd been going out since we were fifteen so this may sound a bit juvenile but... can I hold your hand?

Given that so many movies seem driven to throw the characters in bed at the first opportunity, I loved the sweetness of this quote.

The Magic of Ordinary Days

The Magic of Ordinary Days

This is one of my favorite movies and the one I am hoping to see. I hoped to give the a few options before the final choice though.

Somewhere in Time

Reese Witherspoon did a super cute chick flick, Just Like Heaven. I am comfortable watching that around DD.
