Field Day

A fun and refreshing Hallmark movie, written by Julie Sherman Wolfe, about friendships, new beginnings, the ups and downs of PTO (parent teacher organization), family, and love... featuring some day drinking with the girls and a New Kids on the Block song ;)

Rachel Boston delivered a fun and sweet performance as the lead character. Matt Clarke, even if appearing a few minutes, delivered a poignant performance in a touching scene. Carmel Amit and Shannon Chan-Kent complete the unlikely trio of moms having to organize Field Day at school and it shows through the screen that the three ladies had fun shooting their scenes.

This Hallmark movie is unlike what we usually see as the friendship between the three ladies is out front and center, and not the love story between Boston's and Benjamin Ayres' characters.

This is a must watch if you are a Hallmark or rom-com fan.

I really like the mixed variety of plot threads in Field Day. The show empathizes the value of friendships and how friends can carry you through tough times. The movie focuses on three woman and allows each to face struggles, receive support from each other and grow. It has a nice warm feeling! The women show understanding, emphathy and strength. They are supportive of each other especially against the mean moms but they also have "can do" attitude that I really like. The friendships don't take away from family time or the importance of family but rather weave family members into the story easily.

Yes, of course, there is the typical girl meets boy plot but it takes second place to friend ships formed. I've watched it twice now and really like the character development.

Don't miss this one, it's different and fun.

I appreciated the nice try to propose more than familiar recipe of romance in Hallmark style. It is a film about friendship, motherhood, appearences, pretty realistic, decent crafted and charming for fine exploration of sensitive subjects. And for acting, not last.

The courage to reflect aspects of ordinary life, from the pijama pants to the try to be implied in daughter education in same measure than the husband, the memory of reposed husband as obstacle for happiness and as kick for new page of life, the work on social media compensanting inperfection from real life, the cake , the games, the pure friendship are just good points of this pretty surprising Hallmark who represents little more than dusty familiar Hallmark romance.

I just cringed at most of this movie. The plot and dialogue seem like a show on the Disney channel aimed at 13-year olds. The premise looked promising, but fell flat. The characters were annoying stereotypes. The love interest was okay at best. The antics were predictable and grossly unrealistic. Over all, it failed to make the viewer care about any of the characters or their relationships. There were a couple funny or thought-provoking one-liners, but far too few to make this a film i'd recommend. It failed to capture the charm of the genre. If you are absolutely bored and just want to pass the time. . .

I found the Hallmark movie "Field Day" to be a sweet and funny movie, full of friendships, grieving and love. It was a nice spin on Hallmark's normalcy's. With lessons in loss and love. Love that also included seeing the special relationships that come from the love from friendships. Funny bits along the way that included life lessons. It was nice to see a movie where you have kind female friend groups. Friends that except each other for their flaws and don't give up on each other. Recognizing that If your circle is not clapping for you, find a different circle. I found the movie to be simply delightful.
