This week our Life Teen Staff Pick is from Erika Rosa. Erika is our newest employee! She is our Accounting Assistant and just moved here from Oregon. Erika is a recent graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville. Here’s her recommendation for you!
“Return to Me is a movie that my whole family would sit down and watch together while I was growing up. My favorite part of the movie is the older men. They add a little comic relief to the story. Occasionally, my mom would treat us to her homemade caramel corn as we all gathered to watch a movie. I’m not sure I’m supposed to be sharing her family recipe but I figured just this once it’d be okay!”
Return to Me is rated PG for language and thematic elements. It also has some mild sexual references.
