Warning: Spoilers
In this film, Pierce Brosnan who I'll always remember as James Bond, stars as a dad who's determined to get his kids back before Christmas. This is a wonderful story everyone can enjoy, a few spoilers ahead, Desmond Doyle doesn't have enough money to support his family, and it gets worse, his wife has abandoned them, and there's no one left to care for his children, and the Church and Irish court has ordered that they be brought to orphanages, but Doyle still wants them back, and his daughter Evelyn gets abused by one of the nuns, and then a trial starts for him to get them back after an Irish-American decides to be his lawyer, and it is a close one, but he won't give up till he gets them back. This film really touched me, and caught the attention of many more, and changed a nation. I liked especially the part when the girl describes the truth of what the sister did to her, contrary to what she said about helping her, it was cool to rip the mascara off of her! And I like the part when Desmond describes what the Catholic family is based on, the Holy Trinity. Recommended for everyone, for the entire family. Well done Mr. Bond!
