This Saturday night, gather your family around the TV and tune in to Change of Plans, the third made-for-TV movie from P&G and Walmart. I  reviewed the two previous P&G and Walmart movie collaborations,  The Jensen Project and Secrets of the Mountain, and we really enjoyed both of them.  From what I’ve seen so far of Change of Plans, I think we’re going to enjoy that one too!

Starring Brooke White, Joe Flanigan and Phylicia Rashad, Change of Plans airs on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 8/7c on FOX. Brooke White (“American Idol”) plays  Sally Danville, a musician married to fighter pilot Jason (Joe Flanigan, “Stargate: Atlantis”). Sally and Jason are very much in love, very involved in their careers, and not at all prepared for what is about to happen.

A phone call from caseworker Dorothy (Phylicia Rashad, The Cosby Show) surprises Sally with the news that her best friend from college has died in a tragic accident while serving in the Peace Corps, and that she has been named the legal guardian of her friend’s four children – three of whom were adopted from third-world countries.   While Sally feels badly for the children and agrees to take them in, she tells Dorothy that it would be best if homes were found for the children.  Dorothy tells her that most likely the children will be split up, which tugs at Sally’s heart.

Now Sally and her husband, Jason , must quickly learn to parent this instant family and help the kids deal with culture clashes and life in America. The story is both humorous and heartwarming, revealing how fulfilling life can be when you look beyond your own plans and invest in the lives of others.  With songs by Brooke, this is a feel-good movie that I think is perfect for family movie night. Grab some popcorn and candy, snuggle under a blanket, and enjoy the movie!
