This was one of those “take your vitamins” movie in that I brought it home from the library and so I felt the need to actually watch it. It was one of the best movies I have seen all year with very good messages about hard work and fear of your dreams and the power of community. I especially enjoyed the twist at the end which I saw coming, but which played out in unexpected ways.

Yes, this was a great movie. I really loved the casting, the actors fit the story so well. I am a little hazy on the details – maybe I should get it from Netflix again! -S
Okay, you’ve sold me. Next time I get it from Netflix, I will actually watch it!
