Martian Child

I loved this movie. I cried the whole time so I went to see it by myself so DH wouldn't make fun of me! I brought kleenex with me because I'm lame like that. I guess as far as scripts/plots go it wasn't the best but if you are living the fost/adopt life then you will love the movie. It got horrible reviews (I'm guessing because it was a movie of substance).

Yeah, I saw the movie Friday night and the review last night. It was like... Did we watch the same movie? I could really relate to a lot of it. Especially the big finale. I had almost the same converstion with ds just last week. Unfortunately in real life you don't have the conversation once and then life is wonderful. You have the conversation at least every six months (he has been with us for 3 years, adopted for two) and he still doesn't quite believe it.

Thumbs up this was a wonderful movie

I just saw this movie yesterday and my husband and I both loved it. We are a waiting family for foster-adoption and we thought it was great. I never listen to the critics ratings anyway!! It was 2 thumbs up in my opinion!
