Here's a great movie for kids (and you)

 

From a Chris Rossini review of the movie Chef :

This film portrays the entrepreneurial spirit with near perfection. It's loaded with valuable lessons that kids will never (ever) learn in the indoctrination camps:
  • It shows the importance of identifying your calling. 
  • After you've identified it, you let nothing (even unemployment) stand in the way of letting your calling unfold
  • The film shows that when you follow your calling, other like-minded individuals will gravitate to you.
  • The film shows that money is not the driving force when it comes to your calling. Money, and the desire for its acquisition, is not condemned in the movie either, which is refreshing.
  • Chef has lessons on the division of labor, and trading your production for the production of others.
  • Chef shows the extreme value of the capitalist, and how prior savings by the capitalist assist in the creation of new ventures.
  • The movie shuns the indoctrination camps, and promotes working at a young age by getting your hands dirty.
  • The movie clearly displays that your calling must cater to the consumer. It's not something that exists in a vacuum, but must always have the end customer in mind.
**Note: There are a few instances where some foul language is used in the movie. I don't want to recommend to kids without disclosing that.
