Our life experiences make us what we are. We can grow from them if we choose to. We can also become stagnant and stuck. Stuck in a place that isn’t good for us, our family or those we encounter in our everyday life. I had one such experience that left me with everyday issues. I’m making an earnest effort to overcome those issues. I want to be the best that I can be For me and for everyone around me.
“Game time: Tackling The Past” is Walmart and P&G’s newest Family Movie Night production. It’s about overcoming the past and putting things to rest. It’s about family and it’s about football. Perfect timing for football season. “Game Time: Tackling The Past” stirred many memories for me. Happy memories. Memories of high school football games where my boys played and my daughter was a cheerleader.
I was lucky enough to watch “Game Time: Tackling The Past” with Catherine Hicks. Her character Anna Walker is a mother who’s trying to hold her family together. To tackle the past and move forward.
The story is about two brothers: Jake Walker (Ryan McPartlin) has everything a high school football player dreams of. Dean Walker (Josh Braaten) is still living in the small town where he and Jake grew up. Jake is a pro football player. Dean is coaching football at the local high school. Jake is famous and on his way to the Football Hall of Fame. Dean is happily married. Both of their lives are thrown into a tail spin when their father (Beau Bridges) is hospitalized after suffering a heart attack. The past needs to be forgiven. Pride needs to give way to love.
“Game Time: Tackling The Past” is an excellent movie for the entire family. It’s wholesome with good moral lessons.

I love it because everyone gets excited! Even if it’s just watching on TV, it’s exciting. Everyone screaming and cheering, trash talking to the opposing team fans. 🙂 Oh and did I mention all the food! Nothing like getting together for a good game and having a nice pot luck. 🙂
