We are pretty busy around here, so no movie for us this Friday, but if you are looking for a movie the whole family {older kids, at least, it’s rated PG} can watch, I recommend you check out Second Hand Lions.
It’s about a little boy that has a less than desirable life with his flighty irresponsible mother. The mother decides on a whim to drop him off to spend the summer with two uncles he has never met. It is such a great story about a boy {and ultimately the uncles} getting what he needs, when he needs it most. It’s one of those surprisingly feel good movies, with quirky humor. It really is great.
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Sandy says
We have four sons and we love movies that show a rite of passage, a good moral to the story, and/or stimulate conversation (ie, The Sandlot, and Wide Awake). This is one of our family’s favorite movies!!
