***
If you want to be amazed for all the achievments that a human can reech with a little help from its friends, then you must watch this film; you can have many different emotions like hapiness, compasion and even courage for making your dreams come true.

Novalee Nation (Natalie Portman) is a 17 year-old girl who is pregnant and is going to Los Angeles with his boyfriend, Willie Jack (Dylan Bruno). On their way, they stop on a Wal-Mart and Willie Jack Leaves her at her own with only 5 dollars with 55 cents. Novalee, confused decides to stay and live inside Wall Mart at night and on the day go out. After two months of living there, on one night, she gives birth and becomes famous for being the “Wall Mart Mum”. The owner of the store offers the girl a job, and she meets an alcoholic woman called Thelma Husband (Stockard Channing) who offers Novalee to live on her house; so the young girl stays on town. Then she meets Lexie (Ashley Judd) and Forney (James Frain) and together solve all the problems that Novalee and her baby, Americus, had through years, proving that friendship is stronger than anything.

I like this movie a lot, Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd were born for those characters. The director made an excellent job by mixing the stroies and the message is clear. Although I think that some things need to be more clear, there are some parts that need an explanation, like the feelings that Novalee has through the story, you never now if she was in love with his boyfriend or when she was happy or sad. But after watching it the second time you'll completly like it.

I Like...

My favourite sports are Swimming and football soccer. I support the mexican football team: "Los Pumas" wich are in my opinion the best! I like to research about their history and about their football players who became leyends of football.

I also like to listen to music. My favourite band is The Beatles, (I'm sure you know them) because they were awsome, their songs are the best because they are (according to John Lennon) the best way to fight without violence or weapons, and the music is good. They were the most brilliant people working together. My favourite Beatle is Paul Mccartney (I talk in present because for me, all of them, even if they're dead, will be forever The Beatles).
