Utter rubbish
bubbles2520 November 2016
This was the biggest piece of rubbish i've ever seen. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible editing. It wasn't a movie, just one big preaching session on how everyone is going to hell. It just went on and on and on saying the same thing over and over. Only watch this if you want to receive a lecture on how everything is evil and everyone will be punished for sinning. The movie itself is pure evil, making such claims as having pre marital sex will lead to possible death and becoming sterile. And then there's the claim that pornography causes rape. This is a movie for religious extremists only, for anyone else this move is just rubbish.

One of the worst films ever made.
Cliffhanger9419 May 2022
First off, I am a Christian who believes in waiting for marriage. I also know some of the people who were in this film personally and want to say I am proud to be able to call them my friends.

With that being said the film is terrible. The writing is bad and very much out of touch with how high schoolers are. The directing, cinematography (if you can call it that), editing, dialog, acting, etc. Is pretty much all bad. There is literally a scene where a girl messes up her line and redoes it and the mistake was left in it. Its just bad.

The problem with this film is there never was any intention of actually making a good movie, the focus was on the message. And while I am all for a good message in a movie and even agree (for the most part) with the message in this film I have to say its important to tell a good story. If all I want is a good message I'll go to church, its free. This movie cost me around $10-$15. Wasn't worth it.

The flute and the football
bkoganbing8 March 2021
Love Waits is a terribly amateurish production about teen sex and waiting for the marriage before indulging. The acting is on a junior high school level and the direction of this film non-existent.

Flute player Brittany Mann and flute and football player Hunter Johnson are being pressured to have sex. But these are church kids and they manage to withstand.

For a film on teen sex the issue of birth control was never mentioned. It's like this film never escaped the 50s.

This one will never escape church basements nor should it,

Horrific Misogynist Propaganda
tywilsonkcmo29 September 2022
Hopefully you don't need to be told that virginity is a patriarchal construct aimed at controlling women's bodies. This movie elevates virginity to a religious commitment and the most important thing ever of all time. The plot is... threadbare at best, the acting is hamfisted, and the cinematography makes Hulk Hogan movies look like Stanley Kubrick masterpieces. One cannot come away from this movie with a positive view of Christianity, and thus I feel certain it has accomplished the opposite of what it set out to do. The only reason to watch this is to understand what the core message of purity culture is in America.

What is this trash?
dyhpvqmn5 July 2023
If you like this movie, you literally should not be allowed to vote. Or drive.

This movie is full of misogyny, anti-choice nonsense, and the worst acting imaginable. Abstinence only sex education is the absolute least effective sex education there is, yet movies like this continue to be made as if their entire religion isn't based on a fictional virgin birth.

One of Donald James Parker's movies features someone getting prayed back to life and yet somehow the least realistic thing about any of Donald James Parker's movies is that anyone would ever willingly speak to him or want to sleep with him.

Everyone involved in making this piece of garbage should be lobotomised.

Wonderful trash
nypiyfq6 August 2021
So bad it's funny. The message is damaging and inaccurate, the production quality is bad even by high schoolers filming their Batman fan video standards.

If you like wasting time watching bad movies this is a great one to laugh at with a group of friends. Unless they're virgins which we all know are social outcasts and shouldn't be your friends, according to this movie.
