The Darjeeling Limited

This was a really good movie that could really sneak up on you and make you laugh. I really enjoyed it and loved the pace and the setting of the movie. I recommend it.

Plot Outline:
Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.

We watched "Martian Child" on the flight from Germany

We watched this movie on the flight back from Germany and I have to tell you that it won me over. I got a little misty-eyed, laughed alot and overall just loved it. It was cute, sweet and I felt his pain as I am learning to deal with two teenage boys.

I realize it isn't easy and that I don't know what to do very often or how to be a role model and yet I realize that I just need to be me and let them be themselves then we do alright. I still have a lot to learn but I wouldn't trade my life with my fiance and her children for anything. I learn so much about myself from them while also trying to give them just as much back.
