Join Us for Family Movie Night on FOX!

Family Movie Night features "Change of Plans", which stars Brooke White (American Idol); Joe Flanigan (Stargate Alantis) and Phylicia Rashad (The Cosby Show). "Change of Plans" is the story of the joys and struggles of building a family from a group of strangers - including children of international adoption.

Life sometimes gives us more than we planned for. "Change of Plans" sheds new, important light on the impact of adoption on families - including those created through circumstances outside of out control. People of all ages will be moved by the film's message.
