I had the greatest opportunity to preview the new Family Movie Night presentation of “Truth Be Told” presented by Walmart and P&G and starring Candace Cameron Bure and David James Elliott.
Here’s a little about the storyline to get you familiar:
When leading marriage counselor Annie Morgan (Candace Cameron Bure) is offered an opportunity to host a relationship talk show, she jumps at the chance. But fearful that being single might ruin her big break, she conspires with an old college friend and recent widower, Mark Crane (David James Elliott), to pose as a married couple with kids. Their story starts to unravel when Annie and Mark join her eccentric soon-to-be boss (Ronny Cox) for a weekend at his ranch in New Mexico. Comical misunderstandings mark the event as Annie struggles to keep up the ruse, finding herself emotionally invested and conflicted by her own conscience. Will she confess the truth about her marital status and her feelings for Mark… and will the truth set them free?
I was provided with a family movie night kit of popcorn and candy to enjoy the movie and boy did we ever! Family movies are very important to me and although they are few and far between theses days, I love that we have the opportunity to watch together. Watching movies is one of our favorite things to do, it’s so much better to watch a movie in the comfort of your own home, all together. Plus it’s very frugal, and I am all about that!
We try and have a family movie night at least once a week, and we all look forward to it. I am so glad that Walmart and P&G are bringing this tradition back as I can remember many nights as a child watching movies with my parents, memories that I cherish to this day.
“Truth Be Told” was such a great movie and I loved being able to chat with Candace will watching our private viewing, you could tell she loved making this movie and is proud that families can all watch it together. The main concept of the movie revolved around lies, and how one lie leads to more lies.
My boys both went through a lying phase as I think all kids do to test the waters. I have always instilled in my boys that lying is wrong and they will get in more trouble for lying than by telling the truth. As a parent, you have to watch those little white lies too, kids are always listening, so it’s best to just tell the truth at all times, or else your child is gonna bust you for what you tell them not to do, LOL!
This movie shows this way of thinking and how ultimately how the truth can set you free. Not to be corny, but more good comes from the truth than from lies. This movie told is beautifully, the actors were great and very relateable and I can’t wait for the next Family Movie to come on. I feel good that I can watch a movie with my children and not have to worry about inappropriate content.
If you would like to watch a great family movie, the premiere of “Truth Be Told” is on Saturday, April 16th on FOX at 8pm/7ct. You can find out more at the official Family Movie Night “Truth Be Told” website and you can fan the Family Movie Night Facebook page.
