Despite the fact that this movie deals with death, it is one of our favorite kid movies. The music is beautiful, mostly instrumental. Natalie Portman, Dustin Hoffman, and Jason Bateman are all amazing. Plus, the humor is right on and appropriate for adults and children.

One of the best lines from the movie is, “Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.”

Something for all of us to remember.
