Have to agree with ya here.  The wife and I frequent the theatre often, and try to go only to critic recommended films.  This one was pretty good, and held your attention the whole time.. Guess I am too young, but I always thought Child was famous most of her life.. Guess not..   Agree about Meryl,  top notch in this movie, and just about every movie she is in lately..

 Now Mamma Mia I hated.  The wife loved..  My rec for the kiddies and yourself to watch together is "Hairspray"..   ALot better than sponge bob or Cars for the millionth time..
