The Boys in the Boat-movie*

 Last fall I read aloud this book to my teenage sons. I was so excited that Amazon Prime had it available!

The movie is a little over two hours long. Even in that amount of time, they could not include details about Joe's past, the couple of years he rowed, and all of the races before the Olympic medal. The producers incorporated enough facts to create a superb and inspiring movie. 

Rated P-13 for swearing & smoking 

My warnings- some swearing, some suggestive scenes-Joe sneaks into his girlfriend Joyce's dorm room, where she changes behind a screen-viewers see her bare shoulder & bra strap,  between husband and wife-"Come see a different/better view", and then the wife leaves her bathrobe lying in the doorway-viewers cannot see anything inappropriate, some drinking
