| 12+Cautions: action violence, emotional intensity, and brief allusions to adultery and fornication
Courageous is a strong and engaging movie about five men and their resolution to be the fathers that God has called them to be. The story moves through tragedy, comedy, personal obstacles, police action and a clear presentation of the gospel, to give an entertaining and inspiring picture of the transition from “good enough” to biblical fatherhood.
