Family Night - All Roads Lead Home - The Movie

Today, it appears that there is a lack of parental involvement in our kids lives. This comes from many factors, including the need for parents to work 2 or 3 jobs to support their families. Our family sits down several nights a week together. Each night has its own theme, such as WWE night, where all we watch is wrestling. We each have a favorite wrestler who we root for, we each have a favorite to hate and there is always someone yelling at the television.

The favorite night of the week though, remains our movie night. I have five wonderful children, who take turns picking the movie that we will watch. After the big decision is made, the same child will pick the snacks, including something that is nutritional. Chips and popcorn are great, but they also make sure that there is something like fruit or veggies added to the "Movie Menu". Generally, our movie night also includes dinner around the television, a favorite treat for my kids. Eating in the living room is not allowed, unless it is a special night.

Choosing a movie is not always an easy thing to do! With age ranges from 16-3, we have a variety of topics and interests that play hardball with each other. From sports movies to cartoons, each child has their own "favorites". It is fun to listen to them discuss movie night, and why a certain movie might be best for the whole family. Each takes their turn to discuss the pros, the cons and what they might learn from watching a particular movie. Mom & Dad occasionally choose, but most often, we monitor the discussion, get the final say to make sure that it really is an age appropriate movie for everyone, and find a way to incorporate a discussion of the main ideas and lessons the movie might or might not provide.

All Roads Lead Home The Movie brings together a family dealing with a tragic loss in a poignant, heart warming story. Watch the trailer, and get ready for the release of this fabulous movie on DVD January 13, 2008. Start a new tradition with your family by adding in a weekly or monthly movie night, settle down with a few of your favorite snacks and be sure to save some time to discuss the things that grab you and hold you tight to your seat while you watch what is sure to be a family favorite for years to come.

I am looking forward to the release of All Roads Lead Home The Movie. True family entertainment includes a plot with situations that can be identified with by every member of the family, from the youngest to the oldest. We each may focus on a different character, lesson or thought, but in the end, we feel the pain, the laughter, the emotions of the character. All Roads Lead Home The Movie promises to give us a large range of emotions, bringing tears and laughter together in a movie that tells a story that will touch the heart of anyone who sits down long enough to watch the first few minutes of this compelling story.
