For my daughter’s 9th birthday she wanted to go to a movie and get lunch with a friend. She chose Wonder, based on a book they had read in class. I cried through the whole thing. It was a great movie though and one I think all families should see! It comes out on Blu-Ray tomorrow, February 13th. Get it and have a family movie night on Valentine’s Day!
“Wonder follows the inspiring story of the Pullman family, whose youngest child, Auggie, is a boy born with facial differences. When Auggie enters mainstream elementary school for the first time, his extraordinary journey unites his family, his school, and his community, and proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.”
Auggie’s mom is played by Julia Roberts and his Dad is played by Owen Wilson. Your heart will ache for each member of the family as they struggle with life’s challenges. While the movie is centered around Auggie, a boy born with facial differences you’ll see different perspectives and struggles as the story’s narrator shifts from one person to another including Auggie’s older sister who has problems of her own but tries to keep them to herself to protect Auggie.
From bulling to compassion and empathy, this movie will really help open up the lines of communication with your children as you discuss it afterwards. It shows the importance of friendships and that true beauty is found within.
The Wonder home entertainment release includes all-new special features, including a never-before-seen 5-part documentary, multiple featurettes, a music video, and an audio commentary with Stephen Chbosky and R.J. Palacio.
