Boy, do I remember those years, TM! I'd rent a more adult oriented movie thinking I could watch it after difficult child went to bed but I would fall asleep 15 mins into it. That is why I never saw Shawshank Redemption but rented it 4-5 times. LOL!
Taking Chance is about the war and bringing a lost service member home. It is supposed to be very good, but again, I'm sure it's serious and probably depressing.
