It's P&G Family Movie Night again! This coming Friday, December 2, 2011, on NBC at 8:00 pm EST, Game of Your Life airs. I've been lucky to have reviewed many of Walmart & P&G's Family Movie Nights... they're always a treat. This movie was no exception.

In fact, this movie was so up my family's alley. My hubby is a game developer for the iPhone and iPad, and my son loves playing video games. Game of Your Life was a perfect "family movie night", movie. Extract from title

We always have at least one night a week that is designated as family movie night. We don't answer the phone, technology free time... a time to just be together enjoying a movie -- hopefully one with a good moral or lesson. And as all the Walmart and P&G family movies we've watched previously, this one had a good lesson... or two.

One message that came across loud and clear was "My favorite place is home." So true! But the lesson I loved the most and the one my son who is nine, already knows, is that the choices we make have consequences.

Synopsis:

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...

The Cast:

My son has watched iCarly from time to time, so he was familiar with Nathan Kress. He likes watching movies/shows where he already knows an actor. We liked Zach Taylor's character very much and my hubby and I love Lea Thompson. It was really nice seeing her in this movie.
