Family Movie Night – Aloha Friday Fun

by Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) on August 5, 2011 · 22 comments

Did you hear? P&G and Wal*Mart are bringing back Family Movie Night – starting tomorrow night! I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy when we have Family Movie Night together – Princess Nagger really gets into it, too, by making sure we switch all the lights off to “Make it feel just like a movie theater!” We pop popcorn and settle in for great bonding moments.

If you don’t traditionally do Family Movie Night, now is as good a time as any to start – the kickoff movie is “Where’s Simon Miller?” tomorrow night (August 6th on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT ) and it has something for everyone.

I had the privilege of viewing this movie earlier this week, and roped both the hubby and Princess Nagger into watching it with me online. We all thoroughly enjoyed it – hubby thought it was going to be a chick-flick, but even he was pleasantly surprised at the cloak-and-dagger spy movie it turned out to be, and it was even perfect for Princess Nagger who was thoroughly impressed by the kids prominent part in this movie as well.

About the movie:

When unassuming geologist Simon Miller mysteriously disappears one night, the Miller family is thrown into a desperate search to find him. Simon’s wife Meredith and their two kids, Sarah, 18, and Kevin, 15, frantically search Simon’s office for information. When they find a stash of passports, all with Simon’s picture but each with a different alias, they realize that their father has been keeping more than a few secrets. Who is Simon Miller? And what has he gotten himself – and now his family – into? Not sure they can even trust the Dad they thought they knew, the Millers embark on an international mission to get him back. It’s a heart-pounding adventure that tests the limits to which families will fight for each other. (The movie stars Robyn Lively, Loren Dean, Skyler Day, Drew Koles, and Christine Baranski.)

This is definitely a must see in my book – you can check out more infomation about Family Movie Night on their website, or on the Family Movie Night Facebook page. You can also see a preview here:

Which brings me to this week’s question(s):

Do you have a regular (or irregular) Family Movie Night? Who usually chooses which movie to watch?
