Movie Review: Game Of Your Life

Here I am again reviewing another movie for the the P&G Family Movie Night.  Game Of Your Life, which will air on Friday, December 2 on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT, was probably my favorite yet.  This movie dealt with an older cast of kids, freshman college age, and seemed a little more attuned to adults and kids alike.  I won't give away too much of the plot, but Zach Taylor, the lead actor in the movie played by Titus Makin Jr. wins a scholarship to a prestigious school for video gamers.  He is teamed up with three others to create the ultimate video game.  He ends up with 2 crazy brothers who are truly hilarious named Nathan and Donald played by Nathan Kress from ICarly and Adam Cagley.

These two guys are really great together and keep you laughing through the whole movie, even when things take a turn to the serious.  Sara Ramirez is the "producer" of the team, or the team leader.  She has some tough choices to make when Zach goes down the wrong path, and threatens the teams viability as a whole.  Lea Thompson (Back To The Future) plays one of the professors in the movie, and is also married to the dean of the school. Lea is great in her role of the wise mother type toward Zach. The resident bad guy is played by Tom Nowicki as Marcus Bentton.  When I say he is the bad guy, I'm not revealing anything you won't find out in the first or second act.  As always with the P&G family night they are trying to make a point.  In this movie I believe that the moral of the story was integrity.  I'll let you watch to find out why!  You can learn more about Game Of Your Life at http://www.familymovienight.com/ or head on over to Facebook http://www.facebook.com/familymovienight and visit the Family Movie Night fan page to find out more, and hear some buzz about the movie.  I hope you enjoy the show with the family.  I'll definitely be watching with the kids on Friday!  


Happy Movie!
