#AlexandMe Review & Giveaway !!
**“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.”**
Have you seen any previews for Alex and Me? It’s such a great family movie!
It’s about Teenager Reagon Willis, who has just one dream- to play soccer like her hero, Alex Morgan. You can tell how much she looks up to Alex as you see her entire bedroom as a shrine all about the gold medalist. With her heart set on her goal she fails to make the local soccer club team and feels humiliated by her rival. Ready to give up her dream and leave it all behind Reagon finds things are about to change in a big way! She accidentally hits her head and as she wakes up- the poster on her bedroom wall of Alex Morgan comes to life!
Without spoiling the movie too much, I will say it had some wonderful messages. Reagon learned some lessons even though she would have rather run the other way. It was a great family movie, great message within the story and some great inspiration for all!
Here is a little more about the movie!
An Olympic Gold Medalist and FIFA Women’s World Cup champion with a penchant for goal scoring, Alex Morgan is one of the top soccer players on the planet, currently playing forward for the United States Women’s National Team and the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League. Away from the field, Morgan is also an accomplished author of “The Kicks” series, a collection of chapter books filled with wonderful messages of empowerment for young girls. The first The Kicks book, “Saving the Team,” debuted at No. 7 on the New York Times Best Seller list.
Eric Champnella (Thunderstruck, Mr. 3000, Eddie) wrote the Alex & Me screenplay and is also making his full-length feature debut as the film’s director. Alex Morgan serves as co-producer. Producers are Mike Karz (Blended) and William Bindley (Mother’s Day). Todd Williams (The Illusionist) is the executive producer.
Jerry Trainor (iCarly) also stars as Nigel, a less-than-reliable youth soccer coach, alongside Matt Cornett (Bella and the Bulldogs) as Reagan’s brother, Logan; Colin Critchley (Legends of the Hidden Temple) as Reagan’s soccer-playing pal, Ben; Chuiti Tiu (Nashville) as Reagan’s mother, Ann Wills; and Jim Klock (True Detective, Scream Queens) as Reagan’s father (and biggest fan), Joe Wills. Jessica Treska (HBO’s upcoming Sharp Objects) plays Reagan’s arch-rival, Claire.
Alex & Me will be available on Blu-ray (SRP $24.98), DVD (SRP $19.98) and Digital (SRP $14.99).
