If you're in the mood for a perseverance-overcomes-all-odds tale, then Won't Back Down is for you.
Based on true events, a Pittsburgh-area failing elementary school gets the best of Maggie Gyllenhaal, the single mother of a dyslexic daughter, who's working two jobs.
Meanwhile, Viola Davis carries on as a discouraged but talented teacher in the school, dealing with her own child's academic troubles and marital separation.
With the help of Davis and a handsome young teacher, Gyllenhaal uses her magnetic personality to gather enough petition signatures to potentially overhaul the school.
Will the school board go along with it?
Walk away from this one with a smile on your face, inspired that you can overcome your daily challenges much more easily than they did.
