Field Day

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 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. . .

Field Day is a charming Hallmark movie! The leads are lovely together, two of my favorites. Benjamin Ayers working at the school; Rachel Boston being roped into the PTA. You know they'll end up together, but it's fun seeing them get there! Some of my favorite scenes with Benjamin Ayers were 1) him spinning the basketball on his finger 2) him getting dunked in the dunk tank. And Rachel Boston's baby makes a cameo in the movie (awe). And the supporting actors! These ladies really steal the show. The girl friendships here are great fun to watch - and they seem to get as much screen time as the leads!

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 loved this movie. The three main characters have great chemistry. Yes at times it can be a bit cheesy - but I think all Hallmark movies can be. I enjoyed the women navigating real life struggles. For a few hours it is nice to be taken up into a story with a happy ending. It is funny that another reviewer wished they could have the 2 hours back they put into the movie. I usually can tell right away if I am into a story. This movie came on at the perfect time for me - I so enjoyed watching the interaction of the characters. I laughed and particularly enjoy Rachel Boston . I would even like to see a sequel to this movie and see the three women have another adventure together.
