I’d you aren’t a fan of superheroes, sometimes it’s hard to find a good movie nowadays, but I have a new hero - Peanut Butter Falcon! This is the story of Zak, a young adult with Down Syndrome, who runs away from his long-term care facility to chase his dream to attend pro wrestling school. He picks up misfit Tyler (an amazing Shia LaBeouf!) as they are each chased across the countryside, and sometimes they are just running from their pasts.
What a great film to see, I highly recommend it as a perfectly paced, feel good movie. Believing in yourself can be everything; believing in others is a gift.
