There are some movies that just hit differently as adults than they did as kids. Take 1995’s ‘A Goofy Movie’ for example. As a kid, you side with Max: give him some space, take him to LA for the Power Line concert, etc. But as an adult, I find myself siding with Goofy: spend time with your dad, go on a road trip, enjoy the experience instead of being a complete turd (I’ll admit: I have told my kids this before).
Mandy and I watched ‘Hook’ with the kids over the weekend. Great movie…despite its 29% (?!?) on Rotten Tomatoes. Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, Dustin Hoffman, and Maggie Smith? Amazing.
And you can totally add it to the movies-that-hit-different list. Specifically, Captain Hook’s monologue about why parents read to their children at bedtime. This monologue, which went completely over my head as a kid, hit me right in the heart. Because I am totally guilty of this mindset.
And I can just about guarantee every parent has pulled a “Captain Hook” before:
