Christian surprised me the other night by bringing home this movie I've been wanting to see since it came out in the Movie theatres. But since it's kind of illegal to leave your small child at home alone while you and your husband go enjoy an over-priced movie going experience, I had to wait until it came out on DVD. Then once it came out, stores were "out" of it for the first two weeks! Further peaking my curiosity about it, to say the least. Well, after all the anticipation, I can fully say, it was worth seeing! There were so many elements to it that I found worthy of exploring my emotions for. The story line between this father and son is...well...beautiful. The story line between the husband and wife is more than frustrating, it's down-right maddening.
I'm sitting there watching this movie about the "working homeless" and am flooded with tears, anxiety, sadness, and hope. I'm motivated to become more involved with IHN (Interfaith Hospitality Network) this time around to help guys like this guys be able to "stay together." My heart was ripping out for all the families, just in our country, in our state, in our city, who are waiting in line for a bed to sleep...not sleeping because they're worried about tomorrow...trying so hard to just stay afloat. The immense sacrifice this story brings up of what a father (or mother) will do to provide for their children, it's just inspiring.
Watch it and tell me what YOU think.

Wayne and I loved the movie too. My favorite part was with the dinasours in the bathroom. I think having Will Smith's actual son play the part of his son just added so much to it becuase of the dynamics between the two of them.
