Bringing Up Bobby DVD review

Bringing Up Bobby
When it comes to whipping up a somewhat-edible dinner or passing along faith-focused advice, James Wyler has plenty of experience.
For a dozen years, James has been both big brother and surrogate parent to his siblings. Trusting God to lead his path, James has done his best to honor his deceased parents as he's raised his two brothers and a sister.
Now, as youngest brother Bobby is about to turn 16, everyone returns to the family home to celebrate at a waterslide park—and to finally hear the reading of their parents' will.
Sister Andrea is hoping for the largest share of the pie to maintain her lavish lifestyle. Brother Dennis—make that The Dennis—needs some quick cash to keep the anarchists at bay. (Don't ask ...)
Then there's Bobby. He just wants to figure out what Liz, the new girl in school, likes so that he can impress her. As The Dennis says, Bobby's dealing with "a little bit of the teenage angst."
Add in a hidden stash of cash, an attractive lawyer, a friend dealing with issues at home, and The War Table—where topics of vital importance (or not!) are discussed—and you have a different family kind of comedy. Very different.
Bringing Up Bobby is a quirky story of family, identity, and faith that isn't afraid to show that life can get muddled. And when it does, there usually aren't easy answers to all of the questions.
So grab a plate of tuna casserole and find out if Bobby will discover what Liz is looking for in a guy. And more importantly, will he ever be able to figure out who he is?
Will Andrea get enough stuff? Will James ever have a date?
And will The Dennis be able to stay one step ahead of the anarchists?
In between laughs, Bringing Up Bobby will have you pondering life's important issues ... and wishing your family was as unique as the Wylers.

My Review
“Bringing Up Bobby” is one of the funniest movies with a Christian theme that I’ve seen. My three youngest children, ages 19, 17 and 16 LOVED it and watched it over and over. You know how hard it is to get and keep a teenagers attention for very long, but this movie did that.
The reason I like this movie besides the hilarious parts {which are all through the movie} is the Christianity that is a major theme. Some movies just stick about God or being a Christian in one part, but “Bringing Up Bobby” has Christianity from start to finish. This movie shows us you can have a riot in life, but still have Jesus at the center.
“Bringing Up Bobby” also is about reading wills, money, greed, child neglect, alcoholism and thinking you deserve everything. It also teaches even when things don’t go your way you can still praise the Lord and keep on with a positive attitude.
Bobby just turning 16 doesn’t know what he believes so his older brother/caregiver challenges him to read the book of John and find out what he believes. For Bobby’s 16 birthday his older brother and sister say they came back to celebrate with him, but we find out they came back for the reading of the will, which happens 12 years after the death of their parents. You won’t believe all of the fun and trouble this family of four and their friends get into. It is so fun and wonderful to watch a movie that is full of love for the Lord and just side splitting laughs.
The special features on this DVD are so cool. The film makers are two young brothers from OH, a great state. Outtakes, Home Movies from the set and Behind the scenes.
I highly recommend this movie for one and all.
