Rahman (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire).

Chris Pine, who plays Sam, is a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman whose latest deal collapses the day he learns his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home to put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family.

MY THOUGHTS
I really enjoyed watching People Like Us and found that it kept my attention throughout the length of the movie. The cast did an awesome job and I felt like I was right there with them through most of the movie – one of the perks of watching it on Blu-ray! It left me feeling good about the movie and wondering what I might do if I were in the situation that Sam was with his dad, mom and new family. A big thanks to Walt Disney Video for the movie review opportunity!

I did actually find out that my mom had a child when she was just 16, her parents sent her away to have it and the adopted the baby as their own. My grandfather was supposed to tell my “uncle” (really my half-brother) when my grandmother died, but never did, and now my grandfather is gone, too. My mother is still with us (thankfully), but I don’t know if anyone will ever tell him, or even if he’d want to know now – he’s almost 40 and has a family of his own.

I did find out I had steps, that indeed my father had been married before and had other children and was so selfish not to tell us that or of the kids because both children had died – I was in my late 30’s and felt so angry that I did not get to know them
I would try to connect with that sibling.

Honestly, I would be overjoyed! Aside from the extra-marital affair part(which wouldn’t really be any of my business) I would always welcome new siblings! (of course there were 7 of us, so the more the merrier!)

That would be quite the shock, I’m be thankful for the new people I found.

I would be hurt and excited at the same time. I would be upset that it was kept a secret, but I’d be happy to gain a new family member or more. I would try to reach out to them and see if they would want to be a part of my life.

I would be sad and then I would embrace it.
That happened to me after my Dad died. This man showed up at his funeral saying he was my 1/2 brother as my Dad had him and had gotten married before he married my Mom. My Dad was a teenager. My Mom knew about it but had never told anyone. He showed us pictures of my Dad with his parents and the baby. We never had a DNA test so I’m not 100% convinced that he is my 1/2 brother and I haven’t seen him since. I was hurt that my Dad never told me that he had a son and was previously married. I would have liked to have grown up with him as I don’t have any brothers.
If that ever happened to me. i would be really angry
