See Little Women in Theaters on Sept 28th! @littlewomenfilm

* I received compensation in the form of a gift card for this review. ALL Opinions are 100% mine! *


There aren't many women that I have met that don't LOVEEEEE Little Women -whether it is the book, movie or both!

Little Women holds a very special place in my heart because I have 5 sisters and we have had many of the escapades that the sisters in Little Women have. My sisters and I have always loved to sit together and watch the original Little Women so when I saw that a modern day Little Women was coming out and I could get a chance to see it early, I was ecstatic!

I love that they have brought this movie back for new generations of sisters and close friends to enjoy and hopefully get them to read the original book if they haven't!!



My overall thoughts of the movie??

Well, I have to say it doesn't beat the original Little Women movie, sadly. I had high hopes but it just didn't cover all the story lines that we have come to love and expect from the book and original movie.

However, it was still funny - I laughed out loud at many parts - and still took me through the many emotions that Little Women always does - sadness, nostalgia, happiness, and laughter! But at the end, I just didn't feel quite content. The actresses didn't quite reach the bar set by the first one and the storyline just seemed lacking and jumped around between time periods in the girls' life too much.

Overall, I still recommend the movie to all because it is just one of those things that you MUST experience in life with a mother, sister or close friend! But afterwards, definitely go watch the original and read the book!

ABOUT THE FILM

Sisters—and dreams—are unique in their ability to inspire, encourage and change the world. For 150 years, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has motivated women of all ages to dream together and celebrate family. Coming to theaters for the first time, a modern retelling of LITTLE WOMEN brings a new generation together with their mothers, sisters and friends.


From girls playing in the attic to women living with purpose, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—are committed to always supporting each other. Yet, growing up sometimes means growing apart. An aspiring writer, Jo leaves for New York determined to publish a novel. In the wake of rejected draft upon draft, her editor challenges Jo to write about something more interesting—her family. When tragedy brings the sisters back home, sticking together takes on new meaning. As Jo comforts her sick sister, Beth asks for one thing: a story. Jo knows the perfect one … by heart.


See Little Women in theaters on Sept 28th, nationwide and purchase tickets HERE today!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Who DOESN'T LOVE Melissa McCarthy??! She may be my favorite comedian and there has never been a movie of hers that I didn't like!!! She is SOOOO Funny!

So when I saw she had another movie coming out, Life of the Party, I HAD to see it..especially when I saw the plot line. Being a mom myself that went back to college after having kids, I knew I would love this new movie of hers too!

And I was right! It had all the right parts - super funny, some serious, some sentimental and just overall the same old hilarious Melissa McCarthy doing what she does best - making people laugh while sending a good message - never give up on your dreams! If you need a mood lifter this week, for sure check out Life of the Party for some good laughs...and a trip down memory lane of your good ole' college days! 😉



Check out more about the movie below:

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into reset by going back to college…landing in the same class and school as her daughter, who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected.

Country Crush on DVD on March 14 #Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

COUNTRY CRUSH



A CONTEMPORARY NEW MUSICAL STARRING JANA KRAMER

AND MADELINE MERLO COMES TO DVD MARCH 14

EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART

Country comes to town when the new musical Country Crush is released on DVD on March 14 by Shout! Factory, available exclusively at Walmart.

Starring Jana Kramer, a finalist on last season’s Dancing With The Stars following the release of her latest chart-topping album 31, Madeline Merlo, currently touring in support of her album Free Soul, Munro Chambers, known for Degrassi: The Next Generation, and Sophie Tweed Simmons, as seen on Gene Simmons Family Jewels, this is a classic love story with contemporary themes and hot country music performances.

From director Andrew Cymek, this heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking, film tells the story of city-girl Nancy Taylor (Madeline Merlo), an aspiring singer who is struggling to launch her career and navigate a relationship with an opportunistic music producer. While on her way to a party out in the country with her best friend Ainsley (Sophie Tweed Simmons), her car breaks down and a good-hearted and handsome stranger named Charlie Bishop (Munro Chambers) shows up with a tow. Sparks fly between Nancy and Charlie, two young people searching for love, both unsure of the paths they’re on.



Charlie and his sister-in-law Katherine (Jana Kramer) have recently said goodbye to his older brother Cody, who has shipped out to the Middle East for another tour of duty. Katherine is facing all the love, worry and waiting that accompanies the deployment of a spouse while also being there for Charlie as he faces his own disappointments and loneliness. As Charlie decides to pursue a relationship with Nancy, and Nancy struggles with decisions about her career, Charlie sees with new eyes the importance in staying true to oneself, and begins to question his own choices. While their courtship is in turmoil, his brother’s sacrifices serves as a reminder of the price of love when it is lost.

With its themes of love, duty and strong family values, woven together with a dynamic soundtrack, this is a film that will appeal to multiple generations, and tug at the heartstrings of all families. Country Crush is sure to run away with many hearts.

I LOVE a good romance movie and I am also a big fan of Jana Kramer so this movie made me so happy! I also love the strong family theme because family means so much to me - this movie is a must see!

Are your children struggling? Is your marriage at a crossroads? Are you finding it difficult to make ends meet? Could you use a prayer "war room"?

About War Room:

From the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous comes WAR ROOM, a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships, and every other area of our lives.

Tony and Elizabeth Jordan seemingly have it all - great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan's world is actually crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. While Tony basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation, Elizabeth's bitterness only increases.


But their lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth's newest client, Miss Clara, challenges Elizabeth to a prayer "war room" and a battle plan of prayer for her family. As Elizabeth begins to fight for her family, Tony must decide if he will make amends.

As Miss Clara wisely says, "Victories don't come by accident!" A #1 movie in theaters, WAR ROOM is filled with more of the authentic characters loved by millions in previous Kendrick Brothers' films and a vivid reminder that prayer is a powerful weapon.

Celebrate Veteran's Day with #FAITHOFOURFATHERS #FLYBY

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Veterans Day is coming up next week and there is no better way to celebrate all amazing and heroic veterans than by watching this amazing movie, Faith of Our Fathers, by the studio that brought us the great movie, God's Not Dead.

About the movie:

John Paul and Wayne are two young men in search of their fathers. Problem is...their fathers have been dead for 25 years. Eddie and Steven are two young men in search of their sons...whom they've never met. In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades. They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born. In 1994, John Paul and Wayne go on a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers' names. Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died. Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys. The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam. Ultimately, in parallel stories - 25 years apart - the fathers and sons are bound together forever.

I really liked God's Not Dead so I really wanted to check out Faith of Our Fathers. I love a movie that has quality and a great story line without all the language, violence and junk that is in so many movies these days. I really appreciated that this was just a wholesome, well-made drama that had a great story line without having to be rated R.

Although I didn't love it as much as some of the other Christian movies that have come out lately (War Room, God's Not Dead, Fireproof), it still had a great message, made me tear up a little and is really a great movie for anyone who knows or had someone in a war or has had to travel that emotional journey having a veteran in their life.

The DUFF on Blu-ray Combo Pack & DVD NOW!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

True-To-Life Laugh-Out-Loud Comedy Arrived On Digital HD May 26 And Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack, DVD And On Demand June 9


Breaking down barriers and erasing labels, the smart, honest, hilarious comedy The DUFF arrives on Digital HD on May 26th and will follow on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital HD), DVD (plus Digital) and On Demand on June 9th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment and CBS Films. Based on the best-selling book by Kody Keplinger, The DUFF reveals that while social media can amplify even the little things, high school social hierarchy hasn’t changed since the John Hughes era. Directed by Academy Award® winner Ari Sandel (Best Live Action Short Film, West Bank Story, 2006), The DUFF features some of today’s hottest stars, including Mae Whitman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Robbie Amell (TV’s “The Flash”), Bella Thorne (Blended), Bianca Santos (Ouija), Skyler Samuels (upcoming TV’s “Scream Queens”) Romany Malco (Showtime’s “Weeds”), Nick Eversman (Wild) along with Ken Jeong (TV’s “Community”) and Allison Janney (TV’s “Mom”).

Bianca’s (Whitman) universe turns upside down when she learns that her high school refers to her as a “DUFF” (Designated Ugly Fat Friend). Hoping to erase that label, she enlists the help of a charming jock (Amell) and her favorite teacher (Jeong). Together they’ll face the school’s mean girl (Thorne) and remind everyone that we are all someone’s DUFF…and that’s totally fine.

Special features on the home entertainment release of The DUFF include three featurettes looking at the making of the film, a look behind the scenes at the premiere, character profiles and a gag reel. The DUFF will be available on Blu-ray and DVD for the suggested retail price of $39.99 and $29.95, respectively.

DIGITAL HD/BLU-RAY/DVD SPECIAL FEATURES*

* “The DUFF Hits The Red Carpet” featurette

* “Bringing the Book to Life” featurette

* “Teen Comedies and The DUFF” featurette

* “I Am the DUFF” featurette
