I think this is a first for me...I went to see a movie on its opening day! I usually wait for movies to come out on DVD or Movies on Demand before I see them.

Today I took my children and met other homeschool families to see the movie, Dolphin Tale.  We went to the matinee showing at 12:30 and even with the matinee prices I still paid $34.50 for 1 adult and 4 child tickets!  But, it was worth it to see such a great family friendly film.

There were several other homeschoolers at the theater and one of the employees at the theater asked me if school was out today.  I told him that today is Homeschool Movie Club day where homeschoolers are encouraged to attend great films like "Dolphin Tale" to get the message across to Hollywood that we need more family friendly films like this on the big screen.  I told the theater worker that there were several schools represented at the theater as each family is its own school!  What is great is the character, "Hazel" in the film, mentions that she is homeschooled while speaking with the actor named "Sawyer". 

I highly recommend any family to see this movie.  It's touching, inspiring, uplifting, and delivers a great message of hope and courage.
