Since we don't have satellite or watch local channels either, I had never heard of this movie. But hubby surprised us all with a Friday movie out instead of renting one.   It's great. I didn't think they made movies that families could watch anymore. THIS is it.

The little old man was a hoot. I won't do spoilers, but I have to mention that he had a hearing aid that kept whistling.  Honestly, my husband and I were rolling we were laughing so hard. It reminded us of my Dad. His hearing aid does that all the time. We have family come to visit Dad and we'll sit in the yard, make a little fire at night, and enjoy the night sounds of whipporwills, katydids, and Dad's hearing aid. He has no idea it's whistling, and nobody will say anything to him about it. 

Imagine--about ten or twelve people all visiting Dad with cancer, and being very polite to not mention his whistling hearing aid. But we all want to scream because it is so highpitched. Every now and then someone's eye will twitch nervously, or another will start to fidget in their lawn chairs uncomfortably, or someone else will pretend to stretch when they are actually trying to cover their ears with upraised arms. I don't mind to tell Dad that it's whistling, but sometimes I don't say anything just to see what everyone else does. I know, I'm bad.

Anyhoo--you've got to see this movie. We'd take Dad, but I don't think he could hear it and probably no one else could either. But you'll love it.
