Wonder


Based on the New York Times bestseller, Wonder tells the story of August Pullman. Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to discover their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

Wow!  This was one hell of an excellent heart string pulling movie.  Great performances by everyone!  And I loved that it ended up being so much more than just Auggie's take on everything.  It was great to see the genuine point of view of his older sister and other kids in both of their age groups dealing with life and growing up and being connected to Auggie.  I hadn't read the book but am now very annoyed that I didn't.

I thought this movie was excellent and would recommend that everyone check it out.  It's an excellent feel good movie that will also make you cry your eyes out several times.
