FATHERHOOD WEEK: Fathers Day Movie Night

On Father’s Day after the bbq sauce has been licked from the kids fingers the question becomes: “What’s next?” 

How about a Fathers Day Movie Night? This will give the entire family a chance to sit back, relax and enjoy an affordable fun evening with Dad. Turn off all electronic devices, grab a few pillows make a batch of popcorn and dim the lights – It’s Show Time!

The first thing to do is pick a great "Dad Movie." Below is a list to help you decide. These DVDs are perfect to share with your dad on his day.

• The Pursuit of Happyness is an inspiring movie that stars Will Smith, Thandie Newton and Jaden Smith – a real life father and son.  It is PG-13 and is based on a true story. Christ Gardner struggles to better his financial situation though a corporate internship while caring for his young son.  A true rags-to-riches story. 
• Liar, Liar is a comedy that will have the entire family laughing out loud. This PG-13 stars Jim Carrey, Maura Tierney and Justin Cooper. A father’s career as a lawyer depends on his ability to bend the truth. Unfortunately, his penchant for lying seeps into his personal life, and causes his son to wish that, for a day, his father would have to be honest. 
• Father of the Bride is a classic movie. It stars Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and Martin Short. This remake of the 1950 classic places even more emphasis on the comedic aspects of planning a wedding. While worrying about his daughter's increasingly more elaborate and expensive wedding, a California shoe manufacturer frets about his prospective son-in-law's suitability and his changing relationship with his beloved daughter.

Once your movie of choice is picked out, it’s time to think about a snack.  You can always count on movie favorites like pop corn, Goobers or Raisinettes to make it a true movie night. Or you can prepare dad a homemade treat.
