The leading man often seems more like a brooding menace in this handsomely produced but painfully slow faith-based romantic drama.

Disturbing is the film's apparent conviction that the surefire way to a woman's heart involves lots of candles and a mani-pedi, the sort of notion that isn't so much cute and old-fashioned as it is acutely offensive.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
It must be pretty neat to make a movie that mostly consists of people telling you how chivalrous and morally right you are and how much everybody loves you, but that's no excuse for making it this boring.
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club
