This movie just shows that good teachers, parents and women can make big changes in their childrens lives. A nice feel good movie. Hubs was not interested in watching as he labeled it a “chick flick” but I enjoyed it. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a fave of mine. Buy it, rent it and have a girls night in.
I am definitely going to see this movie. Viola Davis was really good in The Help (I loved that movie) and Maggie and Holly are two good actresses that are in a lot of Chick Flicks. So excited about this movie!
