Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Suzette and Vinnie were changed by their reunion. How will Vinnie's relationship with her family change? Families can also talk about how much of her past Vinnie should have discussed with her daughters and what they think she was doing well or badly as a mother of teenagers. Parents may want to use this movie to talk about their own choices as teens and how that affected the messages they tried to send their children. Vinnie's daughter says "You're allowed to fail; I'm not." Vinnie says, "I'm just trying to keep you safe." Harry also wants to be safe. How much risk and how much failure should parents expect or allow from their kids? What does your family think of Suzette's view that people who love each other fight and argue, and she wants to have someone to argue with.
