I received a copy of the Blu-Ray Adrift to facilitate this review, however, as always opinions are 100% my own.
Adrift now available on Blu-Ray
One of the best things about being an Empty Nester is we don’t have to worry about watching movies that are PG-13 or R Rated. While that isn’t all we watch, sometimes a good old chic flick is in order and being a sport Brady usually watches with me. Adrift was perfect for our night in this past weekend, and we enjoyed the story line as well as the adventures in Adrift. I loved that it was based on a true story, and might have even shed a tear or two. I don’t want to give away the whole story, but their summary is perfect!

With no hope for rescue, Tami must find the strength and determination to save herself and the only man she has ever loved.
