Surprisingly Good

I always read reviews before seeing a movie and many seemed negative of this film because it was too sweet, corny, or "family oriented." My expectations were not high but I had heard it had a good father/son message so I brought my 10 year old son along with me to see it. We both really loved it! It had a great message of fathers fighting for their sons and of sons following their dreams (and also reconnecting with their dads).
After seeing this film I am less trusting of the "professional" reviewers out there who would knock the family values of this film. Talk about missing the point!
The previous day I had seen Transformers (Dark Side of the Moon) and NOT with my son. What a night and day difference. Transformers was mind-numbing in it's action and sexually pushing the envelope (or just burning it at times) based on its younger target audience.
Reel Steal was honest, exciting, and positive. To be fair, I was disappointed with the surprising amount of profanity involved--both from the child character and the dad. I understand that it might have been true to both their characters, but I found it really unnecessary.
Profanity aside, this was a great father/son and even father/daughter film to attend.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
