I cherish movies made for TV the whole family can view without the worries of inappropriate content and ads, as I’m sure you do too. That is why I’m excited to be able to tell you about the newest addition to the P&G and Wal-Mart Family Movie Night lineup called “Field of Vision.” The movie is the 6th film released in the P&G and Wamart Family Movie Night initiative and will premiere this Saturday, June 11th at 8/7c on NBC.
I was able to get a sneak peek of “Field of Vision” and have to say it is my favorite out of all the Family Movie Night films I have seen thus far. Mainly because it highlights the relevant subject matter of bullying and for kids to make a stand against it, even when it might not be the most popular or easiest thing to do. Bullying and being bullied has always been a big problem in schools. However, the nature of the acts have become more violent and there needs to be an increase in films produced like “Field of Vision” to encourage children to react in a positive way when it occurs and not cave to peer pressure. Realistically, I don’t believe there will ever be a time when bullying stops in the school system or anywhere else for that matter, but how children are taught to handle the situation could make a significant difference in the outcome!
“Field of Vision” is made for all ages. Nevertheless, I believe it would best be viewed for children 7 and above. I think younger audiences might not understand the actual moral of the story and get lost within the content.
Synopsis (from website)
Through mysterious footage captured on an old malfunctioning video camera, Sinclair High School’s star quarterback, Tyler McFarland, learns that some of his teammates have been bullying Cory Walker, a troubled new transfer student. Aware that sharing this information with the coach might get his friends kicked off the team and ultimately cost the school the state championship, Tyler must choose what’s more important: winning or doing what’s right.
As these events unfold, the camera also reveals more surprising footage to Tyler’s kid sister Lucy. She learns that Cory has a secret past, unknown even to him. Now Lucy must convince her mom (Faith Ford, Murphy Brown) and family that the camera’s revealing insight is not a product of her imagination as she enlists their help to find the answers Cory so desperately needs. It’s a compelling and intriguing story that shows both the challenges and rewards of doing the right thing even when it’s tough to do.

I’m dying to see that movie! Walmart is going to get a order from me for that movie, Change of Plans, and Truth Be Told. (I own the other 3!)
LOVE Walmart and PG’s movies!
It sounds like this movie helps to make clear the difference between right and wrong which is sometimes cloudy even for adults. I personally feel that all schools should have a strong zero tolerance policy for bullying and abuse that educates students and their parents and gets everyone on board.
Thanks for the review. I look forward to watching.
sounds like a good movie…thanks for the review…maybe it should be mandatory for all kids in the schools to watch this and maybe some of this would stop. too much is going on and too many suiscides are happening because of it. very sad!
This is definitely one of our must see~
The movie sounds very inspiring. I am going to purchase it for my grandson that I think needs to see it because he also experiences being bullied at school. I am curious to see how it is handled myself. I remember it happening to other kids at school when I was little and it made me sick. I used to defend those who got it back then. Thanks for the review.
I really want to see this movie! I missed it on the 11th, but will catch it when they replay it. It’s supposed to be really good. I think it’s great that they are doing a movie about bullying. It is such a problem in schools these days. We need more movies like this that talk about the problem. It can help kids to deal with it in a better way. P&G and Wal-Mart are doing a really good thing with this movie.
THANKS FOR THE REVIEW! 🙂
awesome! A family movie that even my husband can enjoy a bit!
Never heard of this movie but it sounds like a great watch for the family!
