Watch Pamela's Prayer For Free

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Blistering performances.

Much like other titles that fall within the purview of the Christian Film movement, this movie presents a false dichotomy by and between those who aspire toward to the venerated "correct" stance (in this case, courtship), while the alternative stance (in this case, dating) is vilified as the obvious "incorrect" option puts that to me even still. A MST3K-style take-down for this movie would be the only way any entertainment value could be derived from the third-rate production values, nonsensical plotting, ham-fisted dialogue, and (perhaps greatest of all) some laughably bad acting that prompts a "Well bless your heart" response.

I played the part of Jerry and I agree 100% that this movie was probably the worst movie ever created and sends a terrible message to teens. Oh, by the way the movie was filmed in 1989, so for all of you that said the hair and wardrobe were outdated, well you now know why. That still doesn't excuse the way everyone was costumed, especially Pamela! I was hurt by one of the reviews/ comments made by wadechurton that said,"In addition, notice that the only boys who are interested in Pamela seem remarkably less-than-macho" Really wadechurton? I thought good Christians didn't judge people or put people down. Talk about destroying one's self confidence! Anyway, I apologize the movie was so horrible. If you got anything from the movie, hopefully a ton of laughs on the horrendous acting and just the worst attempt in history in creating a movie!

It's been about a decade since I've seen this movie but I would never recommend it for anyone. I to found the acting and costumes awful, the dad creepy beyond belief and the entire basis of the movie which seemed to suggest that kissing automatically means loss of purity. Maybe not now but watch out! I felt that the message they were trying to get out was being handled very simplistically and even thoughtlessly. The entire thing seemed like a study in manipulation not careful decision making. Also I have to say that when I was given this movie it was done with much the same air that it was made in. My decision concerning this topic was made long before I even new what virginity was. I made it for myself after being empowered to do so by the same person that much later gave me the movie. If only they had realized that a few well placed words kept simple and empowering, said by someone who obviously was looking back with regret and trying to inspire me to reach for more had a far lasting affect that some creepy cheesy movie. When a woman knows who she is and that she has power to choose that makes all the difference in the world. A real father protects his daughter by inspiring her to dream and to value herself and others not by scaring or manipulating her.

i can't believe a movie like this even exists. I mean i am a 19 year old Christian and i do believe that kids/teens should be taught the value of having high morals, but this movie doesn't make any sense! why does it portray kissing/dating as a bad thing when that's part of a teenager's life? Plus, it's ridiculous that it made it seem like it was all worth it when the girl( the main character) got married. I mean just because you don't date others before you get married does NOT guarantee you a happy fairytale marriage! plus, i would rather date and get to know a lot of people before i choose to settle down with one person. That way i would feel like i made the right choice. So parents, don't expect this to teach your kids about purity. It will make them want to rebel! plus if you notice, throughout her whole teenage life, it was shown how sad and bored she felt to waste her young life!
