I have not personally seen this movie. I did, however, listen to the review by the team at God Awful Movies this morning. Oh. My. God. No one, other than a cultural anthropologist, should ever watch this movie. More importantly, whether or not you believe in "god", the morals espoused by this film should be disavowed.

Plot summary
Amy Kohn's fascinating documentary offers a peek into the practice of Christian courtship, wherein a woman hands over the responsibility of finding a husband to her parents and the will of God. Such is the path for Kelly, who after growing up happily in a secular family is prompted to alter the course of her own life after her parents' divorce. Enter Ron and Dawn Wright, a Christian couple who offer to serve as Kelly's adopted spiritual-family through the courtship process. Now in her 30s, Kelly lives with the Wrights, relying on them to scout and vet all of her prospective partners, as she vows to save her next kiss for the altar. Approaching the subject matter with sensitivity and an open-mind, Kohn depicts a lifestyle lived by growing numbers of Americans, though familiar to relatively few. Yet the underlying joys and struggles in Kelly's story of love, commitment, family, and faith resonate in surprisingly universal ways.

A great example of what is wrong with xtian culture
This is Sad
I grew up evangelical, I married during the height of Joshua Harris' books, and I participated in (endured) more than a decade of SAHM, homeschooling, "full quiver" mania. By the grace of God, I am still married, and both spouse and I have (gratefully) distanced from the subculture that enabled this documentary's sad spectacle. So, I COMPLETELY understand all of this. I lived it. I know it by heart.
This movie is sad. The family that is using the woman that is the main subject of this documentary are not only creepy, but abusive. It is a crying shame that no one, including her own family, were invested enough to help Kelly escape. She is now 40, still single, and still under Ron and fam's thumb. Insane.
