Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Jun 27, 2026
A surprisingly charming and thoughtful comedy that’s funny without being mean, critical without being cynical, and faith-oriented without feeling preachy. Go to Full Review

3.0/4.0
Premarital features terrific storytelling and a strong ensemble adding up to an indie flick unique in tone that deserves to be seen. Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Apr 14, 2026
A mildly engaging, lighthearted romantic comedy that's also forgettable and feels like an undercooked and clunky TV sitcom without delivering enough laughs. Go to Full Review
Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Apr 12, 2026
director and cowriter Robert Ingraham and cowriter Margaret Bienert’s film may be a bit rushed and over-the-top, but it is the kindest and most aspirational depiction of a secular and Christian family Go to Full Review

Peacefairy Apr 7, 2026 all in all I thought it was a fairly decent movie. mostly considering that most of the movies they've been coming out with are crap. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 11 hrs ago Premarital started out as a decent movie, and I thought it might turn into something worth watching. Unfortunately, that promise did not last. As the story continued, it became boring and struggled to keep me interested. It gradually lost my attention until continuing felt like a chore. The screenplay is where the film struggles. There is too much back-and-forth without meaningful progress, and the story seems to move forward only to get stuck again. Instead of building on its ideas, it keeps circling around the same issues. I never felt the writing developed the story enough to make me care about what happened next. Ultimately, Premarital does not deliver enough to make the experience worthwhile. It starts with promise, but the weak pacing and lack of engaging development keep it from becoming memorable. I cannot recommend it, because it struggles to hold the audience's attention. By the end, it feels like a film that never figures out what it wants to be. See more Jake F @jake222 2 days ago It's neither a comedy nor a serious drama, it falls somewhere in between. Attempts to tackle a very difficult subject, but it's actually all about a very annoying religious father rallying his family against an annoying atheist husband-to-be. See more Winifred G @Wgrace Jun 6, 2026 This is the ONLY movie I’ve seen recently that tackles the concepts of religion and differences of belief in such a charming yet modern way. This film is all heart ❤️ truly a family movie for all ages. See more Jim O @Jimbo345 May 31, 2026 A thoughtful and honest film that delves into the complicated dynamics within a christian family that is struggling with change. There are plenty of laughs and a few tears as we watch the Whitaker's navigate their new "normal". See more Andrew G @Andyguy May 28, 2026 There isn't any movie like this. I don't know how Robert Ingraham made a film about a Midwestern Evangelical Christian family that is as fun as it is earnest and sweet, but he did. It explores real issues while not preaching or finger-wagging (in either direction). Heads up, it's NOT a "Christian" movie (there are swear words), but it's 100% about a family and faith. If you know anyone who grew up like this, whether they're religious now or not, this film is for them - there's never been a film quite like this. See more Read all reviews
