  • In America

    We saw this over the weekend and it was really good--definitely worth seeing.

    When the movie opens this Irish family (mom, dad, two school-age daughters) has lost their young son/brother and is arriving in the U.S. to make a new start. It follows them through their first year in America, while they're simultaneously trying to set up life in a new country (always an adventure) and deal with having lost a family member.

    It sounds like just another tear-jerker, but it's really not--it's much more well-done than your average tear-jerker.

    I liked that it was really about the whole family--neither the kids nor the parents are background props--and has a lot to say about what holds families together and why you have to believe in each other and the like.

    And the kids are irresistable.
