I really loved the show. It had real-life situations, that any parent I’m sure has been, or will be a part of. It shows a different way to look at life and actually cherish the tantrums, or door slamming that may happen. The one part that brought me to tears was the other Dad saying that “daughters are something we can’t hold on to forever.” Wow, that was deep, when you’re watching what is happening in the movie. I really like this one, and would definitely recommend it to everyone. There are teachable moments, even if you aren’t a father, a parent, or involved with children. It makes you look at your own life a little differently, and can help in even just basic social skills. I loved it!

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. – Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. – Psalm 103:13 (NIV)
Review from PRNNewsWire:
The new movie stars real-life married couples Robyn Lively and Bart Johnson; and Maria Canals-Barrera and David Barrera. The cast also includes Brandon Prado, Carrie Wampler, Kayla DiVenere and Arden Myrin.
“I’m so excited for people to see Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters,” said star Robyn Lively. “Bart and I had such a wonderful experience working together for the first time as a married couple. Our real-life roles as parents have been the most important and rewarding of all! We cherish the special bond that we have with our own kids. I hope that this film is a sweet reminder of what matters most in life, family,” she continued.
Robyn’s husband Bart echoed those sentiments: “When I read this script, I thought; ‘This is my life.’ With all the good times, struggles, coaching my kids’ soccer teams and tripping through the wires trying to be the best father I can be. I’ll have my kids under my roof for just a small window of time. I remind myself that every day I do my best to not take that for granted. Robyn and I joke about how much we miss them and they aren’t even empty nesters.”
Bart and Robin play Connie and Steve, parents to Abby, Zoey and Bridget in the movie. Abby surprises both her parents when she returns from a mission trip and announces she’s engaged. Can Steve let go of the big dreams he had for her and support her in this new adventure?
“Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters communicates the profound transformation that occurs deep within a father when he realizes, perhaps for the first time, how critical he is to his daughter’s happiness and success,” said author Dr. Meg Meeker. “It counters everything a father is taught about his influence on his daughter: his inability to understand her, his limitations in impacting her happiness and his ineffectiveness in raising her to be strong. This movie will turn any father’s insecurity into power. This movie isn’t just a heartwarming story. It is a cry from every daughter’s heart to her father, to give her the power only he can give to help her become an extraordinary woman,” Dr. Meeker continued.

As someone who is currently near empty-nesting, I think this is something I’d benefit from watching! Learning to let go and let them fly out of the nest is a challenging transition!
That was definitely a hard thing for us, too. Our son will be 22 this year, and is now in his own home with his fiancée and our granddaughter. 🙂 It’s still taking learning lessons to get through it.
Pure Flix always offers such wholesome, family friendly entertainment! Will have to check this one out.
It was a great show!! There’s a new one coming out that I’m going to review called “An Unlikely Angel” that looks amazing, too!!
This sounds like a feel-good movie. A movie that is great to watch with the whole family.
It definitely is. Makes you really happy to see other people dealing with some of the same things we do.
wow! This is a beautiful film that I would like to watch with my daughters!
Yeah, I bet even they would love it!
This looks like a cute and heartwarming film, I know for sure that if I watch this it’s going to make me miss my father dearly!!
Yes, I agree. There was a time during the wedding scene that made me cry. My Daddy wasn’t here to do that for me, so it was hard. This is a great movie, though.
I would love to see this movie. I’m considering signing up for pure flix to see positive movies.
Pure Flix is amazing!! Enter the giveaway and you could maybe get 3 months to try it. 🙂
I feel like I would like this movie. I love the title for sure and believe wholeheartedly that daughters and fathers can create the strongest bonds!
For sure! Losing my Dad so young, those memories still are precious.
This sounds like a really great and amazing movie to watch! I’m surely gonna add this on our watch list.
It is a good one – I hope you like it.
This looks like a terrific movie. I love that on pure Flix you can watch with the whole family and never have to worry!
I agree. There are some that are still conversation starters, and may need some teaching, but they are all worth it.
That father and daughter movie looks so amazing! Maybe more fathers and daughters will see it together!
I was thinking it would mainly just be for them, but it’s good for the whole family to learn from and enjoy.
I have to share this with a friend of mine. His daughter is very strong, and he is too. I think they’ll enjoy it!
It’s a great movie for everyone!
This sounds like a movie my sister-in-law would love. She and her husband have 11 kids.
Wow, God bless her. I don’t even think I’d have time for a movie, if I had more than 1 child! ha/ha
I’ve never heard of PureFlix. Is it a streaming service like Netflix?
It is comparable to that, Kim. Just with PureFlix, you never have to worry about what something is rated.
This sounds like a great movie. I may need to watch this one. Definitely one that sounds interesting to me.
It is a great one!
I love the movies and shows on Pure Flix. They are always family friendly. I will have to check this one out,
It’s a great movie. I only have a son, and figured that I wouldn’t like it, but the story is awesome and still meant a lot!
Pure Flix is the best! They keep coming out with great shows like this!
I agree! Plus, it’s a blessing to not have to screen stuff before watching it with family! 🙂
