Great movie.

Tonight I went out with a couple of friends from the Marriage and Family Therapy Program (Nate, Jeff, and Triston). We went to see the movie Forever Strong. It was a great movie. I know that it has been out in the theaters for months but I just haven’t been able to go see it. Marlene wasn’t too thrilled with the idea when it first came out so I’ve put it on the backburner until tonight.

I really enjoyed the movie. I like the sports; Rugby is a tough sport. I can appreciate it more now than before. It had romance, drama, parent-child problems, sadness, and action.

I’m impressed by the longevity of the coach at the Highland High School and his dedication to the players themselves. They have a long line of history, tradition, and commitment to themselves to perform to the best of their ability on the field; as well as off the field.

I believe this movie also speaks to the tremendous power of relationship when trying to help adolescent boys and girls try to change. I think that too often we try to make changes in our kids because of things that we want for them and not for what they are actually saying. If you haven’t seen this movie, I’d say go to the dollar theater and see it or rent it at the local Blockbuster.

Review: Two Thumbs Up!
