An Education

When I was younger my mom and I watched "Riding in cars with boys" together.We're both die hard Drew Barrymore fans.It was a wonderful and inspiring movie.My mom recommended this to parents with teenage daughters.Basically it was a "heavenly" film for parents since it dealt with sex, pregnancy and regret.Imagine momma saying "See what happens If you don't listen to your parents?You'll end up like her!"(She says this with the "I told you so" expression).




Yesterday,I decided to watch "An education".Never read the synopsis so everything was unfamiliar except for the byyooottiiifffuuull Carrie Mulligan.Remember when you were younger and felt that one day Prince charming will come and give you the fairy tale life?Well,this was what Jenny(Carrie Mulligan) thought when she met David (Peter Sarsgaard). She gave up her ambition thinking that everything she has been working for can be attained if she marries the wealthy David who gave her the world (Paris and Chanel:;)). Not until she finds out that indeed there was no shortcut to the life she wanted and there was nothing left of her.

These are the films that should be shown in schools.I believe it can bring back the morality of teens and encourage them to reach for their dreams on their own.No more wishing for someone who could do it for you when you know you can.A good family movie for everyone to watch.So go and grab a copy of these films.It's worth your time and money.

And I'm off to look for a job!

Have a blessed Sunday everyone!:)
