Netflix’s latest original A Week Away released on Netflix and it was everything that I expected it to be. When I first saw the trailer for this movie I smiled the whole time! As someone who grew up in a Christian household and spent many years going to (and working at) “church camp” I was instantly excited. And if your familiar with my love for High School Musical, then it’s easy to see why right away.

A Week Away Synopsis

Troubled teen Will Hawkins (Kevin Quinn) has a run-in with the law that puts him at an important crossroad: go to juvenile detention or attend aChristian summer camp. At first a fish-out-of-water, Will opens his heart, discovers love with a camp regular (Bailee Madison), and sense of belonging in the last place he expected to find it.

Why This Movie is Worth the Watch

So I am going to be completely honest and say, you have to be a certain type of person to enjoy this movie. If you are looking for a deep plot or to find extreme meaning you’re going to be disappointed. The storyline for this movie is completely predictable. The movie is definitely cheeesy, but I still found it to be pretty enjoyable. Here are a few reason why the movie is still worth the watch.

  • The soundtrack is pretty decent. – The movie is a musical so of course there are so many (random) burst into song moments. I definitely got High School Musical feels while i was watching (which makes sense because Bailee Madison and Kevin Quinn both have Disney roots).
  • The whole family can enjoy this movie. – We are a family of musical lovers so even my 6 year old enjoyed this movie. There was nothing that made the movie inappropriate for the younger movie lovers.
  • There are lessons we can all take away. Even with this being a faith based movie, you don’t have to be deeply religious to enjoy the messages A Week Away has to offer. We could all use a little more kindness, forgiveness, and self acceptance!

Will My Kids Enjoy A Week Away?

This is going to completely depend on your child. I would definitely say that the messages and storyline in the movie are pretty good for kids aged 10 and up. My 6 year old was excited about the movie mainly because Kevin Quinn was a lead. Even with him asking questions I am sure that some of the messages went completely over his head. Children that enjoy musicals will probably be into the soundtrack.

Overall, A Week Away was a cute movie for what it was supposed to be. I can definitely see myself rewatching when I am in the mood for something sweet and cheesy, but it’s not at the top of my rewatch playlist.

A Week Away is now available for streaming on Netflix.

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.
