QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

"Do you have a stroller for 533 children?"

Delivery Man comes out today and might be worth a look in. It's an American remake of a French-Canadian movie, but by the same director/writer. The preview looks exactly like the original.

It's about a guy who was a sperm donor years ago, and finds out he has 500 kids, a bunch of whom want to find him. He secretly starts to look them up, and gets drawn into helping them out with their lives. It's a lovely little comedy--one that takes you from a silly premise, to a touching story about our desire to feel connected and cared about. Makes me all weepy-esque.

I've been ambivalent about seeing this movie. I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD or Netflix because I save my money for things like Pacific Rim and The Hobbit. :) But I'll look forward to reviews of the movie.

Yeah it doesn't need to be on the big screen. But it's a funny and sweet movie. :-)
