Audience Member Ok movie, a bit cheesy and simplified but ok. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought that this movie was inspirational and at the same time predictable. It was a very interesting movie though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Produced as part of the "Family Movie Night" venture from Wal-Mart and Proctor & Gamble, "Change of Plans" is a sweet, squeaky-clean, pro-family comedy/drama that features original music and some "fish out of water". Sally (Brooke White, "American Idol") and her husband are living it up, when, out of nowhere, they get a call that, after the death of an old friend, they are now the guardians of four children who, up to that point, have lived in Uganda. Life in these States is quite different than what they're used to, and the new parents doubt their ability to raise children, so it's a tough situation for everyone. The actors--especially veteran actress Phylicia Rashad ("The Cosby Show")--all did quite well. There was a bit of pokiness, but the film's content is 100% innocent, save for one profane utterance. Some of the expressions of strong emotions may be a bit much for the very young, though. I'm not sure if people will still be talking about "Change of Plans" in fifteen years, but, it still makes for enjoyable viewing. Anyone looking for a little-known, family-friendly film should go pick this up from their local library or rental store. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A great family movie with a wonderful message, and who doesn't love Joe Flanigan? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Not many films surprise me but this film did. I was thrilled by Brooke White performance, surprisingly. Her lack of refined acting skills is clear but good. I admired the story the adoption storyline but struggled with the lack of attention given to the children learning to adjust. I also anticipated the confrontation between Jordan, the oldest child and Sally, the mom, which never happened but should have. Overall, it's a wonderful positive film. www.what-to-watch.com Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member While the amateurish acting, awkward direction, and predictable and somewhat flat plotline can't go unmentioned, the endearing premise and dedicated cast make this family movie worthwhile and almost make up for the bad.
