When We Last Spoke-Movie Night-#WhenWeLastSpoke

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by When We Last Spoke. However all opinions expressed here are my own.

I was lucky enough to get a personal screening of the up coming film When We Last Spoke. The film will be releases in theaters for a limited four night showing. I was not sure what the movie was about before hand, except that it Melissa Gilbert was starring in it. After watching, I was surprised to discover that it was about family, love, sisters and other things that I could relate to.  In theaters, Tuesday, October 27, Thursday, October 29, Friday, October 30, and Saturday, October 31, 2020.

Set in 1967 Texas, sisters Juliet (Darby Camp) and Evangeline (Chandler Head) are abandoned by their mother at their unsuspecting grandparents’ farm in the small southern town of Fireside. Stunned by their sudden arrival, tender-hearted Walt (Cobin Bernsen) and champion fiddler Ruby (Melissa Gilbert) graciously stand in for the missing parents and create one blue-ribbon recipe for a loving family.

Fireside, home of radio Station KOFF, kept secrets, broken promises and to-die-for sundaes serves as the backdrop for this heartwarming story full of surprises. Top it all off with the unexpected appearance of Walt’s ailing mother—eccentric, Emily Dickinson-quoting Itasca (Cloris Leachman), and laughter and tears abound.

Richly packed with plenty of quirky characters and hilarious escapades, When We Last Spoke is a timeless movie for all ages that digs in deep to things that matter most—family, friends, love, and forgiveness.

This movie hits close to home for me. I could related to the sisters, and how my sister and I felt after our parents passed away. It gets you really thinking about family and how one thing can change everything in a family, and how sometimes it takes something incredible for you to realize what you have.

Grab a friend and purchase your tickets to see this limited 4 night showing in theaters! Hurry, the last day to watch is October 31, 2020.
