Family Movie Night - A Walk in My Shoes

We love to watch movies together as a family. It's often hard to find a good movie to watch, especially on tv. NBC is helping families solve this problem with Family Movie Night.

Family Movie Night airs on NBC on Friday, Dec 3, 2010 - 7pm CST! That's 8 pm Eastern.

This Friday, the 3rd,  they are showing   A Walk in My Shoes.

Walk in Someone Else's Shoes This Holiday Season

Holidays are supposed to be about families, but with shopping, cooking, cleaning, and other chores, sometimes it feels like we don't get a chance to have a meaningful conversation with the people closest to us. There is a movie called A Walk in My Shoes coming up on Friday, December 3 at 8:00 EST on NBC that is a great opportunity to take a break, sit down with your kids and talk about what the holidays really mean: caring about other people, helping those who need it, thanking those who have helped us. It's a really cool story that makes you think, "What would I learn if I stepped into someone else's life?" There is something for everyone in this story, and after watching it, I can promise that it will make you laugh, cry, hug your family, and be thankful for what is most important in your life, especially during the holiday season. Do yourself a favor and watch it on Friday, December 3 at 8:00 EST on NBC.

A Walk in My Shoes movie synopsis:

Ever judge someone just by looking at them? Of course, we’ve all made snap judgments about people. But what if we really got to know them? How would our opinions change? And what if we were forced to become them… how would the shoes fit then? Stressed-out high school teacher Trish Fahey can’t understand her students’ lack of effort and why their parents don’t seem to care. This is especially true of Justin Kremer, a popular, skateboard-loving, basketball star who is underperforming in her class. Trish has him suspended from the team and quickly chalks up the situation as a case of bad parenting. This perspective dramatically changes when Trish meets Molly, a mysterious stranger intent on helping her see things differently. When Trish wrecks her car, Molly is there as Trish wakes to find herself living the life of Cindy Kremer, the woman she has personally judged and criticized. Trish discovers that there is often more to the story and learns a powerful lesson that affects everyone she interacts with. Her husband, her daughter, the ex-Marine next door… No one is left unchanged.

I was able to watch this movie this week before it airs tomorrow. I watched with the kids, and we all loved it. A Walk in My Shoes is a great family movie. There are a couple of good lessons in this movie for all of us.

We shouldn't be so hasty to judge others. What we see on the surface, is not always what is actually going in on others lives.

We need to make sure we are paying attention to our families. Yes, spending time together is of utmost importance. But that's not all. We need to make sure that we really listen to what our families are saying, their thoughts and feelings.

I highly recommend A Walk in My Shoes for the whole family. So gather your family together this Friday, the 3rd, and enjoy a great family movie night.

By watching this movie with our families, we will also send a message to NBC that we want quality movies and programming for our families to watch together. The sponsors will also get the message, and hopefully sponsor more family movie nights in the future.
