When The Game Stands Tall

Evan doesn't normally ask me to take him to see movies.  Unlike most boys his age, he's not really into the very popular action/super hero movies. (If he were to watch them, I'm sure that he would enjoy them.) When he asked me if we could go see When the Game Stands Tall, I wasn't even sure what it was about.  I did a little research and thought it looked like a good movie.  It's a movie based on a true story about a high school football team. We decided to have a double mother and son date with Aunt Kary and Stephen tonight.

The boys were super excited.  Our small local theater was having a 2 for the price of one special on the movie and Aunt Kary found us coupons for free popcorn.  You know, a good deal makes the night that much more fun. =)

With our buttery popcorn and Diet Pepsi in hand, it was time for the movie to start.

When the Game Stands Tall is an excellent movie. We all really enjoyed it.  It has such a good message for boys who love to play sports.  It's about the brotherhood of a team.  I also loved that the movie referenced scripture on more than one occasion.   There was no foul language or anything inappropriate for the boys to see. If you are looking for a good movie to watch, check this one out. The boys are all excited now about seeing more movies together.  I think we'll have to do it a little more often.  But first, Payton and Jason have a movie date tomorrow night.  Check back soon to read all about that. =)
