New Life 2016


     Benjamin Morton moved with his family from the UK to America and he met his neighbor Ava right away.  They were both seven years old.  They seemed to hit it off as friends and their friendship seemed to last.  Ben and Ava almost break up during her senior year but they get back together.  Ben gets a good job with his father’s architectural firm and Ava is a grade school teacher. They almost lose there way again when Ben forgets what’s most important and he is gone for work too much. 
     This movie is a real downer!!  Ben and Ava want to have a baby but Ben never seems to be home.  Ava is wondering if he wants the same things from their marriage?  They start to pull together as a team again but then a lot of life events get in the way.  3* (This movie is OK)
