Sometimes as a blog author I get opportunities to promote products or try them out in response for my honest opinion of things. Most of the time I say no as I believe that you the reader probably don’t want to read about things like eternity headbands or the latest dusting innovation. I figure if you come here you want to read about my random daily interactions with God and the crazy food we eat. Or if not you’re likely a friend who comes to make me happy. Whatever the reason it’s probably not for promotions, but last night when I got home I opened my email and found a fun one. The Senior Manager of Digital PR & Social Media Marketing for the company responsible for promoting William Shatner’s next movie had contacted me to see if I wanted to promote this movie on my blog. That’s right, I said William Shatner. The original Kirk who frolicked with Tribbles. The original Star Trek Enterprise Captain. How could I say no? Even though I immediately wanted to say yes I did have to do some research on the movie so I dug a little and liked what I saw.
The movie is called Escape from Planet Earth and it looks adorable. Opening on February 15th nationwide, it’s all about the little guy saving the day. I enjoy a good underdog movie and this one looks really sweet. I expect there will be teamwork and action, adventure and lots of laughs. The voice talent is stacked with personal favorites like William Shatner and Brendan Fraser along with Rob Corddry and SJP {Sarah Jessica Parker}. I think it’s going to be fun and a movie that I can enjoy with my son is always a winner in my book. Check out the trailer:
Now you might be thinking what’s in this for me? Why are you telling me all about this movie Becky? Well that social media marketing company offered to send a gift pack to one of my readers including a tattoo sheet, activity book & crayons, and a backpack clip along with a 25$ Visa gift card. Pretty fun, right? I thought so. I wish my son could enter as he would love it!
While there is only one winner of the gift pack I do have a treat for everyone. Along with the gift pack, they sent along some digital valentines that you can download and print if you’re looking for unique designs that no one in the class will have. Also they could be a fun way to jazz up some homemade valentines with pictures. You can find those here:
Last but definitely not least I have discovered a pretty funny app for the iPhone {and Android if you’re into that kind of thing} that allows you to pose with a character from the movie and read the story. My son is currently obsessed with taking pictures of himself so I think this will definitely get a workout!
If you’d like to win the gift pack enter below with a comment stating your favorite family film. The winner will be chosen with the help of Random.org after the giveaway closes on Wednesday February 13 at midnight. One entry per person please.

P.P.S. – I was compensated for this review and giveaway. Not enough that I can take you all to the Olive Garden for dinner but enough that I think I can swing that for me and those who I love. Regardless as you know my opinions are mine and mine alone. I was not influenced in any way and have told my honest thoughts and feelings in this review.
UPDATE: The winner is Ashley Hewell! She was selected thanks to some help from our friends at Random.org. Thank you all for entering!
