The Family That Preys
I have to tell you, I was really torn about which movie to see today. Thanks to my readers, the vote leaned towards The Family That Preys. The degree of leaned was almost unanimous. 
There was one vote for this one from Rebeckah. 
And one unsolicited vote for this one....thank you Hollywood, I hope to see Nick & Norah s Infinite Playlist soon.I stopped at McDonald's for my ten piece nuggets, and packed them into my purse with my can of diet pepsi. I'm on a pauper's budget until payday due to my extravagant vacation....foregoing my usual Jason's Deli brisket of beef or pastrami sandwich. Thanks to JJ I have some movie gift certificates...
I love that dog.
I settled into my seat and was shocked that I was the only person in the theatre...which means I can laugh as loud as I want.
On to the movie.
I took a few pictures of my own...not the best quality but it was fun. Kathy Bates plays wealthy Charlotte, the matriarch of a large corporation.
Alfre Woodard plays Alice, the matriarch and hard working mother of two married daughters. These two women are best friends for over thirty years, and are torn apart by the greed and scandal that permeates their families.

Charlotte throws caution to the wind and buys a classic convertable and invites Alice to join her on a cross country junket. Reluctant at first, Alice decides to go on this Thelma and Louise type junket with a little bit of Cinderella and Charlotte's Web stuff. 
In New Orleans, Charlotte throws caution to the wind and induges in a Hurricane. Alice, a non-drinking Christian, admonishes Charlotte saying she would never drink "anything named after a natural disaster". 
Charlotte has the time of her life, and Alice cautously follows....wearing her cowgirl hat, but holding back against dancing at a Country Western Bar, or a strip joint. 
Along the way they see the Grand CanyonCharlotte get's baptized in a roadside pond at the insistance of Alice.
And they share tears, and fears. I don't want to say much more, but I laughed hard and cried.
But just so you know, my grandson thinks I cried when we saw The Hulk.
I give this movie......4.5 stars!!
