Reasons they need to see it: This movie is a wonderful example of the ways fostering or a adopting a child can change their life, no matter what age they are. Michael had a traumatic past, and as he learns to love and trust his new family, they learn to deal with the negative opinions of others and focus on how to remain a loving, caring family no matter what.
What to look out for: There is some violence — including references to weapons — during the times that Michael and Leigh Anne are in Michael’s old neighborhood, there are sexual references, and there’s a car crash that could upset kids, as it comes as a surprise.
