For What It’s Worth, A Week Away is A Cute Movie!

Sharing is caring!

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.

[10 MONTHS OLD] Time be still 😩😭😭 Briell [10 MONTHS OLD]

Time be still 😩😭😭
Brielle is growing so fast and I just want her to stay a baby a little longer. 

- This girl stands on her own and takes a few steps unassisted.
- Wants to eat and drink EVERYTHING.
- Thinks her brothers are hilarious.
- Says mama, dada, go, and “hey girl” 🤣 and I’m almost certain she tells her brothers to stop though the don’t listen.
- Loves taking pictures but doesn’t like when you try to sneak record her and she sees lol
- Likes to dance and clap her hands. And she recognizes songs. We Don’t Talk About Bruno and the Bluey theme song are her faves lol 

I can’t believe she turns one in two months. Time is a thief 😭😭 #itsbriellemadison #mamasgirl #girlmom #momtoaprincess #momof3

Smiling because I know I’m doing the work to help create a better tomorrow for all children! #ad by supporting @PCAAmerica.

Prevent Child Abuse America has been building better childhoods for 50 years now! The stress of parenting in normal times feels like a lot. Over the course of everything happening the last two years, the weight can almost feel unbearable. This is why I’m so glad to have the opportunity to provide resources to my community to help do the work to prevent childhood abuse and neglect before it starts. This is a cause I feel super connected to and I can’t wait to share a little more about why this partnership means so much to me. Until then, I have my blue on in honor of #wearblueday2022 and the start of Child Abuse Prevention Month! #GrowingBetterTogether
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my absolute favorite peop HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my absolute favorite people @theamiyrahmartin!!

Thank you for being exactly who you are and never changing.

Thank you for showing me it’s possible to make genuine connections in a sea of people only showing others what they want them to see.

Thank you for loving on me when I find it hard to love on myself!

& thank you for standing on endless lines and taking my kids all around Disney a few weeks ago for things that they’ve been asking to do for MONTHS/YEARS and then being unphased when they acted completely unimpressed 🤣🤣🤣 real auntie vibes!

We’ve had so many conversations about this milestone birthday but I know this is only the beginning of a new beautiful chapter for you! Besides, we’re the same person and I refuse to believe 40 is when I lose it 🤣🤣.

I love you sister!!! Have the most absolutely amazing day. You deserve nothing less!
