I don't know about you, but we love family movie nights! That's why I am so happy that P&G and Walmart have brought back uplifting wholesome, content-appropriate movies the whole family can enjoy. In the past I've had the opportunity to review several of their films, including Secrets of the Mountain and The Jensen Project. Our family has really enjoyed these movies, which is why I couldn't have been happier to learn about their newest movie...Truth Be Told! It will premiere April 16th at 8/7c on FOX.
Synopsis:
When leading marriage counselor Annie Morgan (Candace Cameron Bure) is offered an opportunity to host a relationship talk show, she jumps at the chance. But fearful that being single might ruin her big break, she conspires with an old college friend and recent widower, Mark Crane (David James Elliott), to pose as a married couple with kids. Their story starts to unravel when Annie and Mark join her eccentric soon-to-be boss (Ronny Cox) for a weekend at his ranch in New Mexico. Comical misunderstandings mark the event as Annie struggles to keep up the ruse, finding herself emotionally invested and conflicted by her own conscience. Will she confess the truth about her marital status and her feelings for Mark... and will the truth set them free?
I was given the opportunity to view this film ahead of time online, and can honestly say it's my favorite P&G and Walmart movie to date! I love the showcase of talent (both up and coming stars as well as celebrities many of us have grown up with like Candace Cameron). What really impressed me was the quality of this film. The acting was great, and not once did I think of it as 'low-budget' or boring. In fact, the storyline kept my attention the whole time.
The movie is very wholesome and one that the whole family could easily watch together. I don't want to give away too much for those who want to watch it this weekend, but will say that the lie that's told in this movie sets up a great opportunity for parents to discuss with their children why lying is wrong and the consequences it can have. I thought the film did a great job of showing the hardships these people went through as they got themselves deeper and deeper in the lie and appreciated the fact that they pointed out how badly it made them feel and that it was the wrong decision to make.
Here's a quick look at the Truth Be Told movie trailer:
If you're looking for a great family movie with a positive message, I would highly recommend grabbing the popcorn, cuddling with your kids and watching Truth Be Told this Saturday! I just watched it and am already looking forward to seeing it again. It not only has a great message, but is also a movie people of all ages can enjoy. It involves romance, humor, and some suspense not knowing what will happen next. I really enjoyed it, and think you will too!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of P&G and received a movie kit to facilitate my review and a gift code to thank me for taking the time to participate.
