Quotes
Milton Adams: If you fill your glass with hate and fear, pour in your worries about the past and future. you're probably going to be miserable. If you fill your beaker with love and caring, miracles can happen, wars can end, people can be different. That's the secret. We all can change. You just have to take meanness and turn it into gold. With that, the war is over.

This is not your "normal" Hollywood movie or even drama. Although the obvious theme is bullying - which is very important - the real star of this film is Wisdom.

If it is possible to return to time honored traditions of family, love, loyalty and trust this movie allows us to experience these values once again.

Based on the work of Eckhart Tolle but using philosophy judiciously as the icing on the cake, this film allows for the wisdom of an elder to seep into a modern family and realign their priorities.

Terrific family movie and one that the family can discuss for hours around the dinner table - as opposed to viewing their "apps".
