Why oh why did I watch this movie? I guess it was because I saw it was categorized in the comedy section. Now let me tell you, this is not a comedy, you won't laugh one time. It's a family movie, and a really bad one. I doubt you could make a more cheesy and predictable movie then this one. My wife and I were just saying every step that was going to happen before it even happened. From the beginning of the movie, when the kids lost their parents in an accident, you already wished they were also killed in that accident. During the whole movie I was secretly hoping Jason Voorhees would appear and kill them all. Seriously this is an abomination of a movie. I still don't get why I watched it...

It's a great and really nice movie, deserves better rate then it has right now, the acting ain't bad at all, actually the acting to me seems superb, the movie is touching and i really like it, the movie is about two people, Sally and Jason Danville who were recently given four kids into their custody cause their mom and dad were in an accident, it shows how they struggle to be their parents sense they never were parents before but at least they are trying, at first they thought about giving them away to another family but they changed their mind about it and on the end they adopted them, but you probably expected that, it is the kind of movie a lot of us already watched but some people haven't and may enjoy this kind of movie, you will definitely enjoy watching this movie.

I cannot remember the last time I was able to sit down with the whole Family to watch something as enjoyable and viewer friendly as John Kent Harrison's 'Change of Plans'.The following was a story that was both touching, fun and tear-jerking without having to resort to petty violence or over-the-top scenarios.We begin with Sally and Jason Danville (Brooke White & Joe Flanigan), the seemingly perfect couple who are moving up in the world and off on their Anniversary trip when they suddenly receive a distressing phone call. Sally's friend Teresa and her husband have passed away leaving them with the duty to care for their four adoptive children. But this isn't a synopsis rather than a rundown of what worked, what didn't and what we can hope for the future of 'Change of Plans'.First of all, 'American Idol' contestant, Brooke White makes her acting debut and for the most part, she does an excellent job. Especially when she shares a tear filled story with the young, scene stealer, Clarissa Suwoko concerning a Zebra. And there are many moments like this that tug at your heartstrings. Even I found myself crying in many scenes that dealt with Jayme Lynn Evans, a new talent that is sure to go a long way.But it isn't all about the heavy scenes, Joe Flanigan has never been funnier. He does flex the dramatic muscle but he is better as the good-looking, comic relief. The supporting cast does a great job backing the story and letting us inside their little world. From Justin Kelly's wise-above-his-years portrayal of Jayme's love interest to the smarmy High school Quarterback, Craig Cornfield, we see these characters in our own lives and acknowledge them as such. Now I am a big fan of Phylicia Rashad but she seemed a bit too soft spoken in this first episode of what I hope becomes a series because as soon as the credits start to roll, you immediately wish for more. With catchy songs, a great story and even an appearance by Randy Jackson, 'Change of Plans' is a fun, Family friendly program that we have not seen in a long time and that is such a great change :)

It became clear from the beginning that it was ALL about her, PERIOD. There was no chemistry between Flanigan and White....... The bedroom scene was even more tidied up than fifties TV series, other than sleeping in twin beds........... I did not expect any sort of graphic intimacy, but what I did expect was some sort of romance between this young married couple other than an occasional platonic peck on the check. Finally, their home was as sterile as their relationship which just added to the boredom factor. I am frankly deeply disappointed as I had much higher hopes. Just hope this turkey does not make it to a series, because as much as I love Joe Flanigan, I just don't think I could suffer through anymore. BTW don't write off the above by saying "its family entertainment after all" because that does not wash. There have been really good examples of family viewing and this is not one of them.
