Just like most families, we look forward to Friday nights at home. The weekend is beginning and that means quality time together as a family without the interference of work and other obligations!NBC's Family Movie Night, sponsored by P&G and Walmart, provides quality family movies for the entire family. We wrote about Game Time in September and now it's time for the next Family Movie Night. This coming Friday, December 2nd, Family Movie Night debuts Game of Your Life. The boys loved watching the last movie, so I can't wait to watch this one with them, too!
On December 2nd at 8pm ET/ 7pm CT, turn your TV over to NBC, pop some popcorn and sit around on the couch as a family for a great movie everyone will enjoy. The movie's plot focuses on Zach Taylor, a recent high school graduate who has been accepted to the prestigious Digital Institute of Game Design. He must make high marks on his freshman project, but it's not so easy! His dad is having some financial issues back home and Zach's taken on a secret project on the side. It's too much for a college student to balance and something must eventually give. The story is a great lesson on decision making, trusting others and loyalty.
Game of Your Life is a movie that will not only entertain and hold your interest, but something you can talk about after. The entire movie centers around important lessons that all kids and teens must eventually learn. I had the privilege of watching a pre-screening of the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was invested in the characters and couldn't wait to see how it all played out. Game of Your Life is absolutely a family-friendly movie and I highly suggest checking it out this Friday night (Dec. 2nd) on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT!

There are two things we love here in the south: spending time with family and football! That's why I am super excited to tell you about an awesome about Family Movie Night on NBC presented by Walmart and P&G. Yes, that's right, Family Movie Night is back on NBC, which means families across the nation are rediscovering their family rooms and actually watching TV... together. Thanks to Walmart and P&G, you will be brought great quality family movies with valuable lessons and even the commercials will be family friendly!
On Saturday, September 3rd, a new Family Movie Night will hit NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT. Game Time: Tackling the Past is an incredible movie centers around the changing life of pro football star Jake Walker. He's a veteran tight end, fan favorite, and well on his way to setting the all-time receiving yards record, which will land him in the Hall of Fame. While at training camp, Jake receives a frightening call from his brother, Dean, letting him know their father, Frank, had a major heart attack.
Putting family first, Jake returns to his hometown of Riverton, North Carolina, a place he has avoided for almost 15 years. Memories of the life he once had flood back to him along with regret for leaving his family behind for his career. As Jake struggles to reconnect with his family, he receives yet another unexpected call, but this time it's from his agent. His contact is not being renewed due to concerns over his recent knee surgery. To avoid the media and all the news surrounding the drama, Jake decides to stay in Riverton, though very reluctantly.
Slowly, Jake begins reconnecting with the community and his life begins to change in ways he'd never imagined. Impacted by the new and old friends with whom he has connected, Jake begins to realize life is much more than football and stats. At the end, he must, once again, make a decision that will not only change his life forever, but many of the people's lives around him.
My Thoughts
I was lucky enough to see a sneak-peak of Game Time: Tackling The Past and I have to say it was a great movie from start to finish! It had me wondering what was going to happen the entire time. Also, I love Catherine Hicks, who played the mom in both this movie and on the hit tv show Seventh Heaven. I feel like I grew up watching that show. Also, Beau Bridges was a part of the cast. Who doesn't love him?
I definitely say go ahead and save the date for September 3rd, be sure to get your movie snacks ready and tune into NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT. Let's spread the word about Family Movie Night! I always loved watching movies with my parents and Game Time: Tackling The Past is a great one to watch. Also, "Like" Family Movie Night on Facebook to keep up with all the movies coming up in the near future. There will be some great ones you won't want to miss.
