La rinascita della tigre

Decent movie about sorrow, anger among other feelings we harbor in our minds. Set them free. That's what the movie is all about. Kudos to the kids and Queen Latifah for their believable performance. Enjoyed it.

I enjoyed watching the movie The Tiger Rising. As a fan of actor Dennis Quaid and actress Queen Latifah, I was excited to see this movie. I thought it was great movie to see with my children. They were instantly able to understand Rob's heartache and what he was experiencing. He is dealing with the grief of losing his mother and meets a little girl, Sistine, who is, also, dealing with her own emotions involving her parents' divorce. It is sad movie that I had to find my tissues throughout, but the story offers hope and coping with traumatic experiences. I do have to warn that the ending could be upsetting for younger audiences.

I am giving The Tiger Rising four stars. I recommend it for families of all ages. It would be a great way for them to bring up much needed conversations.

I received an early screener link of The Tiger Rising, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

Posted sign on semi-remote Kentucky property said, "Trespassers Will Be Shot". Is that legal or ethical? Script was odd, perhaps because of mixed symbolism of children being bullied combined with a child's coping with loss of mother with both somehow connected to a caged tiger that is oddly located in a remote no where location. Ending bizarre.

Usually when Quaid or Latifah is onboard, it's a feel-good movie and worth watching. Somehow they missed the target and instead gave us a sleep-inducing snoozefest that meandered and never progressed into something meaningful.

I kept getting distracted watching this and total time spent was probably 3 hours to complete Such a miss...

If you want to see a good movie about a young man and a tiger, I would suggest seeing the very well made film, The Life of Pi (which is not about 3.14). This turkey, on the other hand, tries to fan our imaginations with the discovery of a caged tiger in the woods who has not starved to death miraculously. Where did the tiger get its water to survive as well? Forget about logic in this film, and try to suspend your disbelief. There is a great amount of disbelief to suspend. The American version of the found tiger is nowhere as good as the Indian version made several years ago. Pass on this one and see the good one.
