The Playbook (2015)
A compelling human drama
I thought it took just a little long to get into it, but once you do, you are sucked in and sucker punched so hard in the stomach, its hard to come up for air. Some parts of the film were hard to hear only because of all the sniffing and sobbing going on around me. The film deals with very real human emotions and how we cope in different situations. A bit too focused on the spiritual side for me, but I guess that is the market they are targeting. I'd compare this to Facing The Giants, in many ways better, in some ways not so. But I did leave the screening emotionally drained. Having a few kids myself, I could relate to everything this family went through. I would suggest sitting down and watching this with your teenage kids and show them how simple mistakes can cause so much hurt.
