BLACK OR WHITE

Movie:  Black or White
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  2 Hours 1 minute

Jan's Opinion:  This is another movie that we didn't get to see when it was in the theaters so I purchased it and Dave and I watched it last night and enjoyed it very much - not our favorite movie of all times, but definitely enjoyable.  Kevin Costner plays the part of Elliott, a man who has just lost his wife due to a tragic car accident, and leaves him to raise his granddaughter (about 8 years old) alone.  Elliott's daughter died during childbirth and the father of the baby (who is African American) never contacted him and his wife so a lot of hard feelings prevail.  When Elliott's wife dies, the other grandmother, Rowena (played by Octavia Spencer), decided to sue for custody, and so the battle begins as to who is the most fit parent for this beautiful smart little girl.
