COURAGEOUS, PG-13 ( 2 hr & 10 min )


Quickie Review:   You say you want a RESOLUTION.  Well, you know, we all want to change the World ....

Four Sheriff's Deputies tackle the bad guys while on duty and wrestle with family dynamics while off duty. But when tragedy strikes hard at one of them, they begin to reassess their fatherhood and find that they are sorely lacking in this particular department.  They then solemnly pledge to be better fathers from this point on, knowing that they will be "tested" by circumstances and events as Time goes by.

This Faith-based movie  addresses  Juvenile Delinquency, and worse, from the point-of-view that a fatherless home is the  major contributing factor to such crimes.  It presents a good argument that fathers everywhere should really pay attention to.  By father, I mean, it's not enough to get some woman pregnant and have her bear your child but share no responsibility in its upbringing.  Because it takes a real man, a good Father Figure, to act responsibly in such a matter.  And for that reason, I give this movie my high recommendation.   Go see it. And buy and read the book, The Resolution For Men, that this movie is based on while you're at it.

Here's what I didn't like about this movie:  The acting and/or the directing is so-so, understandably enough!  That Sheriff's Deputy should have known better than to leave unattended  a vehicle with its engine running, especially with a baby on board.  Why did he leave his cellphone on the table in Vibrate Mode while doing some carpentry work ( a minor detail but, still .... )? They could have easily shot one or two of the bad guys from under the car.  What, I make way more money than a Georgia Sheriff's Deputy but a deputy  can afford to live in a nice house but  I'm stuck in a crappy condo?!?!?!  Wassup wif dat?!  Ain't fair ....

This theatre's parking garage now has two ( ? ) parking spots reserved for electric cars only.  And they are situated closer to the garage's entrance and  exit than the handicap parking spaces.  I went to take a closer look at one of them after the movie.  And a police in a patrol car stopped to look at what I was doing.

Come on, officer.  It's not as if I'm gonna take that electric charger and ram it up my butt for a quick boost!  Geesh,  give me a break.
