Lets face it, had this movie been made without Stallone, it would have been a completely different film and not nearly as good.  Rocky had to be included in the next chapter of this saga or it would have been a cheap knock off of an iconic franchise.

Room is a brilliant and poignant piece of film making, the movie is thought provoking and relevant.  Practically borrowing from recent years headlines, the story reminds us to keep our kids close and treasure every moment we have with them.
