Labor Day Weekend Movie Night!

Recently I was invited by Influenster to invite some friends over to watch a free copy of Labor Day. After settling in with snacks and wine we began viewing the movie. Here are my and my friend's thoughts on the movie Labor Day;

The synopsis: Depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited. Staring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin. 

I loved the pace of this movie. From the beginning I kept thinking this will not work and it will end like "Bridges of Madison County". The idea of an escaped convict taking the mother and son "hostage" is frightening, but as the guy continues to reveal his nature, the viewer is not surprised that the family embraces him. He is everything a "man" should be except free. A word about the cinematography - there was a softness about it that would appeal to this woman. I thought that the acting was very well done and the directing superb in fleshing out the characters. I will not give the ending away, but I do recommend this movie. My friends also enjoyed this as much as I did. This movie is definitely one I will buy on DVD. 

All in all I give this 10 out of 10 stars! Thanks @Influenster and @ParamountMovies! #LaborDayMovie
