My husband and I were blessed yesterday to have my parents come watch our little ones (who were sick) so that we could go to a movie together. I think we've been to exactly 3 or 4 movies together since our oldest child was born 3+ years ago. That means that we see approximately 1 movie per year at the theater. When we dated, we would sometimes see 3 movies a week! But now that we have kiddos and work schedules, we've discovered the genius behind cable tv's On Demand button. Anyway, I digress.
Yesterday we saw 7 Days in Utopia. I kind of expected it to be another slow golf movie. Don't get me wrong, I like golf movies. Generally speaking, however, golf movies are either very slow or kind of dirty--Tin Cup comes to mind. This movie was no Tin Cup. 7 Days in Utopia was a legitimately good, clean movie with a really solid message. From start to finish, this was a wonderful movie, and I think every family should own it. Plus this movie has the rare ability to mix a Christian message with great acting. If you love Robert Duvall as a cowboy (Lonesome Dove was kind of great), you'll love him even more as a wise, Christian cowboy.
So if you need a good date night movie to see, go try out 7 Days in Utopia. I promise you won't be disappointed. And you might even fall in love with the Texas Hill Country too.
Sorry, I 'm not going to give away what this movie is about. Just go see it.
