Nyad

I’m a total sucker for an underdog sports movie, Rudy is one of my favorites so it’s not surprising that I liked this movie. This inspirational story shows that anyone, no matter their age or gender, can achieve their dream. I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. As an older woman, I can’t help but cheer for Diana Nyad, even though her character is off putting. I mean to swim from Cuba to Florida you must be a little crazy. I also loved that this movie showed that behind the star, it takes a dedicated team to make dreams happen. It’s a little slow but it’s worth a watch. Ryan actually stayed awake for it (a surprise to us both!). 2 watch checks, you can rent this one (on Netflix right now!).
