Movies I recommend for the weekend....

I watched 2 movies in the past couple days I would highly recommend! This one Daddy's Little Girls is a very good inspiring movie, it is rated PG-13 and is not really suitable for under that age but I loved it none the less... So if heading out to graba movie this weekend I highly recommend this one! Movie description
Written and directed by Tyler Perry, DADDY’S LITTLE GIRLS follows single father and mechanic Monty (Idris Elba) as he struggles to support his three daughters and fight for full custody from their unfit mother. In need of extra funds, Monty takes on a fateful second job as a limo driver for hot-shot lawyer Julia (Gabrielle Union), granting him the legal leverage he needs as she volunteers to help him in court. His ex-wife (Tasha Smith) has shacked up with her dangerous boyfriend (Gary Anthony Sturgis), the neighborhood drug lord, and not only does he supply plenty of crime to the streets but he also instills fear into Monty’s daughters’ lives While Monty does everything he can to protect his kids, and to save enough money to eventually run his own garage, Julia is desperate to try to find a good man who can measure up to her well-bred, upper-class standards. Despite their financial differences, and drastically contrasting backgrounds, Monty and Julia can’t hide their attraction for one another. But will their past heartbreaks keep them strictly as client and counsel? With fantastic performances and real-life issues, DADDY’S LITTLE GIRLS is a heartfelt, emotional story of the single-parent experience, and of discovering and preserving unconditional love. Idris Elba (THE WIRE) conveys an abundance of warmth and strength as the heroic father and community leader who is just trying to catch a break as well as some much-needed redemption for doing right by his kids. Gabrielle Union (BAD BOYS II, THE HONEYMOONERS) provides ample doses of comic relief as the uptight career-obsessed lawyer plagued with a string of bad dates. The three real-life McClain sisters that star as Monty’s daughters: China, Lauren and, Sierra (they have the same names in the movie) are bona fide scene stealers, thanks to their charming precociousness, which manifests itself in their emotional pleas to be rescued.
Also I am recommending this one as a great family movie, I really liked this one as well! Bridge To Terabithia, check it out today;)

Movie description
Animation master Gabor Csupo directs his first live-action film in this adaptation of the novel The Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson, whose son David co-wrote the screenplay and serves as a producer. Jess (Josh Hutcherson) is misunderstood. Despite Jess' talents as an artist, the school bullies pick on him, his father (Robert Patrick) belittles his dreams, and his four sisters invade his space in the family's cramped house. Jess' bleak world changes when Leslie (Annasophia Robb) moves into the house next door. Bright, creative and outspoken, Leslie also finds herself an outsider in their school. Soon the two are thick as thieves, spending their after school hours exploring the woods beyond their backyards and on the others side of a creek, which Leslie deems the kingdom of Terabithia. Here, they create their own magical world, complete with a Dark Master and his minions, dragonfly soldiers, giant trolls and a treehouse fortress. In Terabithia, the two friends let their imaginations run wild and control their destiny, far away from school bullies and the pressures of adolescence. Hutcherson and Robb are well cast as Jess and Leslie in this coming-of-age tale. Hutcherson handles both the melancholy intensity and unbridled joy of his character beautifully, and Robb's smile and charisma are infectious. Zooey Deschanel also stars as Miss Edmunds, the music teacher who befriends Jess. Parents should read the book or learn more about the story before taking young children to see this film, as the story includes not only some scary creatures, but also the death of a young person. Terabithia and its creatures are created by WETA Digital LTD, the same company that did the effects for the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and KING KONG.
