Review of The Reading Room

I have been a fan of Mr Brown ever since I was a little girl and watched him on the "Rookies" in the 70's. So when I found out that he was the director plus the fact that James Earl Jones was in it also, I had to watch. Basically the movie is about a widower(Jones)who's dying wife's last wish is that he opens a reading room in a rough part of town. He is met with opposition from not only the local residents, but from community leaders(Brown)also. The movie is a bit predictable,Jones eventually wins over the people in the neighborhood including Brown after the reading room is a victim of arson and everyone comes together to rebuild it. But over all it was a good movie. It was nice to see a movie without sex or bad language. There was some mild violence, but it was definitely a family movie.
