Tiger Rising

As 10-year-old Rob (Christian Convery) tried to process the loss of his mom (Katharine McPhee), his dad (Sam Trammell) packed them off for a Florida motel, where he'd taken handyman work from miserable owner Beauchamp (Dennis Quaid). Making a tentative friend of temperamental new classmate Sistine (Madalen Mills), and showing her the caged tiger Beauchamp kept in the woods, they'd plot for the big cat's freedom. Queen Latifah co-stars in this moving take on the Kate DiCamillo tale. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
