The Movie "42" - Story of Jackie Robinson

Saturday night Gracie had a sleepover so I took Jacob to see the movie "42" about the legendary baseball player "Jackie Robinson".  It was a GREAT movie...I definately give the movie 2 thumbs up. The movie was rated PG-13 and YES, there was the use of the "N" word throughout the movie...I explained all this to my 11 year old son prior to going to to see the movie and he understood that back during that time period the use of that word was very "common".  I must say there were times during the movie I found myself cringing in my seat and actually getting "angry" but I had to remind myself how things were back then and how "ingorant" people were. My dear friend Pat came along and she said she really enjoyed the movie as well.  I asked Jake what he thought and he said it was "awesome" - I do agree!
