NOT EASILY BROKEN

Hey, I’ve got another movie to recommend to you. And - it’s "pastor-approved!". It’s a movie produced by T.D. Jakes - the evangelist. "Not Easily Broken" is about young couple going through the trials of marriage. If that sounds a lot like "Fireproof", ya, that occurred to me to. But I think the acting in "Broken" is a bit more professional and the script is a bit edgier.

For some reason I think that a movie that is overly Christian would be "all Christian" - the actors, the writers, everyone. Producers don’t promote the movie that way - just assumption I tend to make.

Morris Chestnut is the lead actor, got his first role playing "Jason" in "A Nightmare On Elm Street" and probably best known for his role in "Boyz n the Hood", neither of which would appeal to me but he handled the role very convincingly.

It’s a PG13 movie with "parents strongly cautioned" for its sexual references and several uses of the word "ass" in a variety of ways. If it weren’t for the fact that T.D. Jakes was behind it all, I might have passed on it. I’m glad I didn’t.

T.D. Jakes is the founding pastor of The Potter’s House, a mega-church in Dallas.
