Ken and I celebrated my birthday early this past weekend and my choice was going to see the movie FINDING YOU, based on a novel by writer friend Jenny B. Jones.
I absolutely loved this movie and I’m so excited for Jenny! I can’t recommend it more highly! The faith message might not be as strong as it is in Jenny’s novel, but it is wonderfully, subtly there. This is a sweet, clean romance. Even though the film is secular, there’s very little that’s offensive—a couple of very mild (what might be considered by some) curse words—but such wonderfully positive messages throughout. I think teenagers especially will love this story. But it’s a great date movie too.

I saw Finding You with my 13-year-old daughter last week, and we loved it! Can’t wait to watch it again. It’s so good to have such sweet, clean romance in a beautifully made film!
I couldn’t agree more, Carolyn! So glad you and your daughter enjoyed it.
My 12 year old and I went to see it together and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! It was wonderful to see the work of a Christian romance author adapted for the big screen. 🙂
It truly was! Made me hopeful that the world is hungry for more clean, wholesome stories like this, and that people will be introduced to the reason for our Hope watching them.
That looks SO good. I sure hope I’ll get a chance to see it. (Our nearest theatre is 100 miles away…)
I can’t even imagine having to drive that far to the theatre!! However, now movies are out on DVD or online in a matter of months or even weeks, so I bet it won’t be long before you’ll get to see it. It made me want to visit Ireland!
Best movie I’ve seen lately? Field of Dreams! We recently visited the movie site during a weekend in nearby Galena, IL, because there was no way my husband was going to get that close to THAT field and not see it. He couldn’t get as close as he wanted to the MLB field they’re building (darn security guy) for the August 12 game between the Yankees and White Sox, but we still loved our visit. But then we found out that historic Galena substituted for Chisholm, MN, when Ray finds Doc Graham! So of course we watched the movie at the B&B and spent the next day following a little movie site walking tour of all the spots they turned into 1972 Minnesota. Who cares about President U.S. Grant and those other 8 Union generals? 🙂 In any case, Galena is well worth a visit for anyone particularly interested in 1860 architecture and design or Civil War history. It is remarkably preserved.
That is SO cool! We’re right next door to Illinois here on the Mississippi River in Missouri! I’ll have to check out Galena!
