The movie Gracie is out in theaters this weekend. Go see it! The movie is based on true events and is about a girl in a soccer obsessed family who faces the tragic loss of her brother and wants to play soccer with the boys, before soccer was a girls sport, too. She faces an uphill battle in 1978 in helping to pave the way for more competitive sports opportunities for girls.

Carly Schroeder plays Gracie and Elizabeth Shue, whose family inspired the movie, plays her mother.
