At Middleton 2013


At Middleton


     Edith is taking her daughter Audrey for a tour of Middleton College.  George is also taking his son Conrad.  George is planning to back into a parking space but Edith pulls into it before he can back in.  They meet again at the tour group and they decide to head off on their own tour.  Edith tells her daughter on the phone that the Dean is giving them their own special tour.  Audrey starts to get upset at her mother for leaving the group but they are having a lot of fun on their own without the group.
     Edith likes to break rules, is very outspoken and she confronts people if they speak back to her.  She is also having a difficult time with Audrey leaving home for college.  George likes everything to be correct and he likes to tell Conrad what to do.  Conrad is thinking he might like it at Middleton.  This starts out well but seems to get old as it goes along.  Maybe it’s the overdone laughing by Edith?  3* (This movie is OK)
