I love it when companies send me goodies to enjoy and share with others. Walmart and Proctor & Gamble sent me some fun stuff for a recent made-for-TV movie called "A Walk in my Shoes" and now they've sent me another for "Change of Plans."
This new flick comes out on Saturday Jan. 8 at 8/7c on Fox. And, boy, oh boy ... the topic of the movie is one that will hit you hard. I've thought about things like this before, but to imagine it happening to you would be a combination of so many emotions, I can't begin to wrap my head around it.
Synopsis from P&G/Walmart:
"Change of Plans" is a humorous and heartwearming story that reveals how fulfilling life can be when you look beyond your own plans and invest in the lives of others. Up to this pint, Sally Danville's (Brooke White of American Idol) life has played out just as she has hoped it would. She's a free-spirited muscian married to fighter-pilot Jason (Joe Flanigan of Stargate Atlantis). They live life on the go, free of domestic responsiblities until they get a phone call from a caseworker, Dorothy (Phylicia Rashad of The Cosby Show) telling her that her college best friend has died in a tragic accident on a Peace Corps mission and named Sally as the legal guardian of her four kids (three of them adopted from third-world countries.) Now, Sally and Joe must quickly learn to parent and help the kids deal with the culture clash of life in America.
Sounds like a good flick.
Any of you interested in having your very own "Change of Plans" viewing kit along with the DVD and CD soundtrack (produced by music mogul Randy Jackson)?
