I can’t wait to take my girls to see the new Sony movie, The Star. Just from seeing the movie trailer, I know that we are all going to absolutely love it. It’s so great when movies can truly be enjoyed by the whole family. With the amazing singing voices and actors in this show, I’m sure everyone will love it. Thanks to our sponsor Sony, we have a fun giveaway prize for 5 lucky Canadian winners.

The Star - Sony Movie

 

I love treating my girls to a night out at the movies. It’s a special way we can all relax and spend time together. So when a movie as meaningful as The Star this comes to theatres, we will definitely go to see it.

Take a look at the trailer…


Movie Synopsis:

A small but brave donkey named Bo yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free, and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey, he teams up with Ruth, a lovable sheep who has lost her flock and Dave, a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told – the first Christmas.

Check out the awesome actors in this movie…

A few of my favorite actors that I’m most excited about are…

Kelly Clarkson: Leah the horse
Keegan–Michael Key: Dave the dove
Patricia Heaton: Edith the cow
Kris Kristofferson: Old Donkey
Oprah Winfrey: Deborah
Tyler Perry: Cyrus
Tracy Morgan: Felix as the three camels
Christopher Plummer: King Herod

    I love these ‘children’s’ movies. They are often so will made that they put to shame the films for adults. The Box office often shows that many prefer the children’s.
    It will be so wonderful to enjoy this movie with my family and great grandchildren.
