Raising Helen (2004)
Courage to uphold strong values

I agree with the many reviews that point out the strong stance in defence of moral behavior. Also, I agree with the reviews that applaud the fine acting and directing. My focus is to cheer for the daring choice the filmmakers took in casting a strong, good-looking actor as a man of the cloth, and of choosing to make his character Lutheran instead of, say, a sex-repressed Catholic or condescending Episcopal or silly Angican or a psychotic Protestant. As the wife of a Lutheran pastor, now retired, I say YIPPEE! for a realistic portrayal of the solid, sane, character of a vast majority of all clergy in the U.S.
