FOREVER MY GIRL | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"FOREVER MY GIRL"
(2018) (Alex Roe, Jessica Rothe) (PG)

QUICK TAKE:: Drama: A famous country music star returns to his hometown and his former fiancée who he jilted on their wedding day eight years ago.

PLOT:

Liam Page (ALEX ROE) is one of the biggest stars in country music, thanks not only to his talent, but also the hard work of his manager, Sam (PETER CAMBOR), publicist Doris (GILLIAM VIGMAN), and many others. But he's not happy with his life and has been suffering from a creative block of recent. When he hears that one of his high school friends was recently killed by a drunk driver, he returns to his hometown of St. Augustine, Louisiana, a place he hasn't been in eight years since suddenly leaving there to ride his rocket to success and fame.

He left behind not only various friends, but also his father, Brian (JOHN BENJAMIN HICKEY), the local pastor, and Josie (JESSICA ROTHE), his high school sweetheart to whom he was supposed to get hitched. The fact that he abruptly left her at the altar on their wedding day didn't sit well with her or anyone in St. Augustine, and thus he isn't exactly welcomed with open arms upon his return, particularly by Josie and her protective brother, Jake (STEPHEN T. RIGGS).

Unbeknownst to Liam -- since he left town and has had no contact since departing -- Josie has a precocious 7-year-old daughter, Billy (ABBY RYDER FORTSON), who turns out to be his child. Upon learning that, he sets out to be part of her and Josie's lives, something that obviously leaves the young woman conflicted about how to proceed.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Those who are fans of country music and/or anyone in the cast might show some interest.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG: For thematic elements including drinking, and for language.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
