Much better than expected

My husband and I took our 8 year old son (without his little sister!) to dinner and a movie to celebrate his good grades and all around good guy behavior. We let him choose the movie, and I was prepared to just kind of get through it by admiring Hugh Jackman, and maybe catch a little nap. Boy, was I surprised! I got all caught up in it, laughed, cheered, and yes, even cried a little.... My husband and son loved it too. There were some disturbing parts, but as other reviewers said, it opened up some good dialogue about the importance of making good choices and how you can end up in a bad situation when you deal with bad people, but how you can always turn it around if you are honest with people who care about you and let them help you. I think that even at 8 (and a half lol) he may have been a little too young for some of the scenes, but the action thrilled him and overall the lessons in it made an impact. The fact that we could talk about it after helped too. It was a good family film, for families with kids 10 and up.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
