With the hustle and bustle of the holidays upon us, we tend to spend even less quality time together as a family, so I was very excited to see that Walmart and Proctor & Gamble (P&G) have scheduled another Family Movie Night to remind us to slow down and spend time with our family. Their latest wonderful family-friendly movie, Game of Your Life will air on NBC on Friday, December 2nd, 2011 at 8/7c. This dramatic movie makes a perfect time to pop the popcorn and settle in with the whole family to watch and discuss a wonderful movie and the lessons within.
Here is the synopsis of Game of Your Life:
When industrious high school gamer Zach Taylor lands a prized scholarship to the prestigious Digital Institute of Game Design (DIGD), his future breaks wide open. The opportunity to study under gaming legend Marcus Bentton and alongside the country’s most creative minds will certainly propel him into a successful career as a video game designer. That is, if he can pass the infamous freshman project that eliminates more than half of the class within the first three months.
Paired with brilliant yet socially awkward teammates Phillip and Donald, the trio persuades Sara Ramirez – a determined and striking team leader with whom Zach has a history (and possibly a future) – to join their team. Working off-campus in the teched-out Lincoln Alley loft, the four set out to involve the entire campus in a quirky new social interactive game. But as the group becomes entrenched in the project, Zach learns that his father Billy, a widower, is facing growing financial woes at home. To help out, Zach accepts an opportunity to work directly with Marcus Bentton on a secretive side project that seems too good to be true. The effort requires nearly all of Zach’s time and energy, which he should be devoting to the project. Struggling to keep it together, Zach is torn between his responsibility to his team, his admiration for Bentton and a chance to help his father.
Everything comes to a breaking point when Zach’s team threatens to remove him from the group and the deceptive truth behind Bentton’s project comes to light. With the guidance of Professor Abbie Lambert, Zach must make a decision that not only affects his future, but the lives and livelihoods of the people around him as well. It’s a revealing story that recognizes the magnitude behind the choices we make and the importance loyalty plays in making good decisions.
I was able to get a sneak peak at the movie, and there really are some great lessons to learn from this film. I really enjoyed it and with the number of children and adults who enjoy playing video games this film really meets the interests of many. I think even if you don't play video games you will enjoy watching it.
Remember to take time out during this holiday season to spend time with your family before the main holiday arrives--time together as a family is vitally important for all of us, so set aside time in your busy schedules to watch a wonderful action-adventure film, Game of Your Life, which is scheduled to air on Friday, December 2, 2011 at 8/7c on NBC.
