Hoosiers


Last night we promised the kids popcorn and a movie, so we cruised through the aisles of Family Video and the kids kept grabbing films like "the Sandlot" and "Bridge to Terabithia," but Jeff wanted to resurrect his childhood and insisted we either see "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "Hoosiers." So...Hoosiers it was. To the kids, watching a black and white flick is like Chinese water torture!
Hoosiers is an old (I mean, my husband saw it when he was a kid) basketball film but I actually enjoyed it. It's really a story of second chances, defying odds, and the value of teamwork. And I really enjoyed the cinematography of the Midwest. It actually made it look...well...beautiful. And it's rated PG, so it makes for a good family-friendly film.
