We try to have a Family Movie Night each weekend, and this past Saturday we had the pleasure of watching the new DVD called HERO. It’s the story of Joe Finn, who neglected his wife and son for years while he hit the road as a baseball scout, but returns home for good when his wife dies of cancer. His son is now a young man and deeply resents his father’s attempts to insinuate himself back into his life. Realizing the huge mistake he made by not being home when his son was young, Joe decides to coach a boys’ baseball team, but there’s an interesting requirement for participation -- the boys’ fathers must commit to being involved with the team. That’s not so easy when one is in jail, another has big career aspirations, and so on. But Joe keeps working on their consciences to get them more involved. In the meantime, his biggest challenge (besides turning a ragtag bunch of boys into decent baseball players) is repairing the relationship with his son. Is it too late for Joe to be the father he should have been? And can he convince the other fathers in the community of their importance to their sons?
Watch the trailer here:
HERO is a highly entertaining movie with a powerful message. Children grow up way too quickly, and early parental involvement is crucial. Being a dad is one of the most important things that men will ever do! I hope you’ll pick up a copy of HERO for your family and watch it together. It’s certain to spark some interesting discussions!
