My thoughts:
My younger brother who is 26 & likes some crazy things actually recommended this movie. Now, I was a bit unsure because his idea of a good movie is usually a zombie movie. But, I figured we'd give this movie a try. And, we LOVED it!! It was such a sweet movie with such a powerful message. Two old men who were well past thier prime actually gave hope & truth to a young boy who only knew lie after lie. What a great message :) The movie actually made me cry a few times.
