About Hope – Dove Approved For 18+
Dove Review
A man who has been searching for his true love his whole life finally meets “Mrs. Right,” a friend of the family with a wonderful young daughter. But when a wealthy and beautiful woman offers him a glimpse into an extravagant lifestyle (if only he’ll give up his morals in return) his family and his faith will guide him to learn that it’s not only true love that makes us whole. From Christian filmmaker, David D. Dietrich.
Overall, About Hope is an engaging and relatable film not only about finding love, but following God in every aspect of our lives. Content wise, there are some objectionable scenes that render the film too mature for young audiences. For example, in one scene, Thomas wakes up naked in a strange bed, and in other scenes, scantily clad and wearing-nothing-but-a-fur-coat models prance around.
These scenes are necessary for driving the plot forward and illustrating temptation and the effect on Thomas’s struggle to preserve his integrity, as well as serving to create conflict in his relationships with other characters, so they are essential to the film. These scenes are tastefully done and do not show any actual nudity. There are also quite a few scenes of alcohol consumption present. For these reasons About Hope just missed our age 12+ seal, but as always please use your own discretion in choosing what is appropriate for your family.
We are pleased, however, to award About Hope the Dove Seal of Approval for Ages 18+, due to its outstanding faith content and character integrity arc, making it the perfect movie for date night or girls’ night.
