How many of you regularly hold some type of family movie night and/or family game night? We’ve been holding them since our daughter was 5 or 6 years old, so for us, it’s been about 25 years! Last weekend we got the family together and …
My family loves to get together as often as we can for regular family movie nights. Sometimes we go all out and have a little party and at other times…we just sit & relax together while watching it. Last weekend we had the opportunity to …
We are empty nesters but every 2 weeks we still hold a Family Move Night. We started these family movie nights back when our daughter was 5 years old and even now that she is 29…we still host them as often as we can.
Last weekend we had one of our Family Movie Nights and we watched Russell Madness. This movie tells the story of Russell, an undersized but big-hearted dog (a terrier) who dreams of having a family of his own. It’s a story that really touched our hearts.
After running away from the pet store, Russell gets taken in by The Ferraros, a family desperate to revive their grandfather’s pro wrestling arena. That’s when they discover their new pet has some incredible wrestling skills. With the help from his coach, Hunk, a very funny monkey, Russell rockets to the top of the Pro Wrestling World and becomes a famous sports superstar!
This movie is absolutely entertaining and adorable! At our family movie night we had people here ages from 54 years old to 5 1/2 years old and everyone enjoyed it! Russell is way too cute and he definitely gives you all of those warm & fuzzies inside when you see him. Hunk, the wrestling coach is hysterical but yet…cute at the same time.
If you have children or if you just want a good family-friendly movie to watch…Russell Madness is one you need to pick up and add to your video library. We give it a 7 1/2 out of 10 on our entertainment rating scale!
The great folks over at Fox Home Entertainment sent us our Family Movie Night viewing pack which included a Blu-ray & DVD copy of Russell Madness, a coupon for FREE Minute Rice, a gift card to Cold Stone Creamery and a coupon for a free box of Joy ice cream cones.
For our movie night, we made a cheesy tuna casserole for dinner and then had mint chocolate chip ice cream cones for dessert. During the movie we did munch on some popcorn which was really good. Thank you Fox Home Entertainment Insiders Club for making our family movie night super special.

We were sent some party goodies and the DVD so our family could hold a movie viewing party! We had planned on a dozen guests but due to the north east snow storm we ended up with just 6. Oh well. The masks that they sent along were super cute and you can see them in the photograph below.
Anyway, we all sat down and watched the movie together and really enjoyed it. The Munchkin was totally enthralled with it and it’s really different than most animated movies that are there which made it nice. It was very entertaining for both the kids and the adults.
After the movie we was over we called out for pizza and wings. We had planned something different for our food but we are snowed-in here in the northeast and just went for a pizza party which made all of the kids pretty happy.
The Book of Life is out on Blu-ray and DVD now and we highly recommend you pick up a copy today. It is a great animated movie for family movie night for sure!
