Labor Day (A Movie Review!)

 Tom and I watched this last night, 
and I could swear that someone told me it had a terrible ending.
It does NOT.
It is definitely sad towards the end, 
but the ending is far from terrible!
 I hope I didn't give anything away by mentioning that.
Josh Brolin plays an escaped convict that enlists the help of Kate Winslet's character
and her son.
What happens in that short Labor Day weekend, 
ends up shaping their lives forever.
If you see the movie, 
the pie scene is memorable and I found this interesting,
the actors went to a small town in Massachusetts to learn how to make pie!
Ha!  Isn't that a neat tidbit?

I give it a thumbs up!!
You will cry towards the end.
And then, you will be happy.
Promise.

Although, nothing happens in this movie, I don't even think there are any swear words, 
there is adult content in it and so I'd give it a mature teen rating.
(a girl the son befriends, says things like, "they are off having sex"
 and "they want to get rid of you so they can have sex." stuff like that)

    1. Oh, gosh, I hope you like this one too then!! Let me know! Tom didn't care for it, he didn't think it had the redemptive power I thought it did...does that make sense?
