Did you watch with us? Did you like it? As suspected, Sean wasn't that into it (i still loved it) here is his response:
I want to buy things now. Just kidding. As a graduate of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, this movie almost made me sick to my stomach :) On an entertainment value, the movie gets a D- .. but on the life lesson front, I gotta go higher.. maybe even an A.
There are obvious overtones about contentment. The main character is trying to fill some void in her life with material possessions... and yet with each purchase she seems to feel less and less satisfied. It's almost as if she's searching for acceptance and she thinks she'll get it if she wears the right clothes or has just the right look. What the character fails to realize is that true friends will accept you for you you are.. no matter what you wear, what kind of car you drive, or how you look. They like you for you and not for who you want them to think you are.
The movie also made me think of one of my favorite songs that we play on Air 1.. "God Shaped Hole" by Plumb. We all have this God shaped hole in our lives and as the song says.. it's a void that only He can fill. Trying to fill it with other things just leads to pain and frustration.

Movie Rating : C (I say this with a heavy heart - I would have given it at least a B)
Kleenex Rating: Sean didn't cry...I did...but again - I say Mighty Ducks
