Rounding First (DVD)

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
At this time of movies with huge budgets & special effects comes along a movie made for the whole family. My kids saw it & when their friends come over, they sit & watch it over & over again. As a parent, you don't have to worry. With the movie being set in the early 80's, the movie does a good job of capturing 1980 & it brings me back to the days when I was a rebel as a kid.

When will Hollywood learn? When they take a lesson from Jim Fleigner!
At a time when our world is upside down and our children have absolutely no sense of true friendship, loyalty, committment, and redemptiveness, Hollywood just keeps spitting out the same trash. But writer/director Jim Fleigner's film Rounding First takes all those worthy charateristics listed above and offers us an opportunity to remember what they really mean and how desperately we need to teach our children about them. Rounding First is a film Frank Capra would be proud of. It allows adults to remember, their children to peek into the past, and compels all of us to call all our dearest friends and tell them we love them. Each one of us is represented in the three main characters. And all of us will recall how the hard lessons of life shaped our character the most. It's refreshing to be able to sit down with the whole entire family and watch a movie again. This will remain a valuable part of my movie collection. Thank you Mr. Fleigner, thank you very, very much.

Not Your Usual Kid's Film
"Rounding First" is not your usual kid's film. Without giving away the plot it deals with complex family issues. 3 preteens set out on a quest to find out why the parents are lying to them about something. The journey is a strange and eventful trip. Two of the young actors, Soren Fulton and Matt Borish give great preformances. I give this film a high rating as suggest it for both kids and parents.

Sincerely
