Pay It Forward (DVD, 2001)

I really like the point of the movie, instead of paying back a kindness someone has shown you, you....pay it forward. Wouldn't the world be a nicer place if everyone practised this. :o) Helen Humt did an excellent job of playing a single Mom who's an alcoholic, trying to raise a 10 year old boy by herself. It was a down to earth movie, with not such a "happy ending" by any means, but the point is, life isn't always fair, yet even bad things can have good in them, if you just look for them. The only thing I didn't like was it had some strong language, not suitable for children.
