Description
For each of two movie reviews, you will write a 2–3 page movie review that focuses on a movie
with a parenting/child discipline theme. You get to choose your two movies but I suggest being
careful to select a suitable movie that will allow you to do the research and development below.
Use the following format when completing your Movie Review Assignments – include the
headings below in each of your reviews.
INSTRUCTIONS
Summary
Give your impression of the movie with a brief plot summary (1 to 2 paragraphs). Resist the urge
to retell the entire plot. Share the scenes that had the greatest impact on your thinking. What
aspects should viewers look for if they have not seen the movie? What themes/scenes do you feel
warrant further reflection and why?
Personal Implications:
How did you connect with the movie on a personal level?
How did it confirm or challenge some of your perceptions of parenting/child discipline?
Were there any scenes that you strongly agreed/disagreed with on a personal level and
why?
Professional Implications:
What scenes made an emotional, cognitive, or spiritual connection that will inform your
professional development?
Were there any scenes that you strongly agreed/disagreed with on a professional level
and why?
How will you utilize this information (personally or professionally) to impact your life?
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
