Old Fashioned is a 2014 American Christian-themed romance film written and directed by Rik Swartzwelder, who also stars opposite Elizabeth Ann Roberts.

[3] Despite being heavily panned by both critics and audiences, and appearing in many worst lists of 2015, it managed to be a box office success, grossing $1.9 million on a $600,000 budget.

Clay's past is even more checkered; in his college days, he knew a large number of women, and shot exploitation films in the manner of Girls Gone Wild.

The script was written by Swartzwelder, who had been working on it for a few years already when, in 2007, he partnered with lawyer Gordon Toering (after earlier meeting at a film conference).

[1][4][5] The film depicts a rather unconventional dating method chosen by the protagonist as a means to get away from the cultural norms he has found to be destructive.

"[6] Author Karee Santos notes: "In the tender and sometimes rocky romance between the main characters, we see two broken individuals helping to heal each other.

A story that, without apology, explores the possibility of a higher standard in relationships; yet, is also fully aware of just how fragile we all are and doesn't seek to heap guilt upon those of us that have made mistakes.

[9] Time magazine's Lily Rothman noted that the film "was a response to what its creators see as a culture that celebrates ideas like those in '50 Shades' but does not seem to create stable romantic relationships.

[11] Joe Leydon of Variety wrote that "Swartzwelder wants to engage his target audience with a tale of moral redemption through chaste romance.

[13] In a 2.5 stars out of 4 review for RogerEbert.com, Glenn Kenny said of the film: "It's incredibly rare to see an American movie with a Christian perspective that's more invested in philosophizing and empathizing than in eschatological pandering, and for that alone Old Fashioned deserves commendation.

Milan Records released the official motion picture soundtrack on February 10, 2015; it includes both songs by a variety of artists as well as several selections from the original score by Kazimir Boyle.

In addition, a second soundtrack (digital only) of previously unreleased original score tracks was released by the composer via iTunes (More Music from the Motion Picture Old Fashioned).
