This film has a great message but it doesn't execute it well by any means. Grace is obsessed with getting married and it's frankly limiting her character. When she meets Jared at a coffeeshop she asks "What's romantic about selling coffee?" She has a one track mind and it's all about marriage. It's infuriating. Same thing with her Dad and using Jeremiah 29:6 out of context. Dad is basically Straight Pete Buttigieg, and he is there to guide his daughter through the process. He comes off more like someone whose ulterior motive is to get her out of the house so he can use her room as a BDSM dungeon or something.
The fact that this movie is so focused on getting Grace married is crazy. I don't see why her focus is on that alone, she is a college student and she could have a great career ahead of her and have a family as well. When men are single they're not looked at as broken because they're not married, in fact singleness among men is celebrated in American culture.
This movie does marry her off in the last 5 minutes of the film to Dr Clint, and she lives right next door to her parents. It is implied that she will be a stay at home Mom just like her own, and I hated that.
Avoid this like the plague or make watching a drinking game
