'Change of Plans' features a professional singer with her engineer husband who designs airplanes for the military. They enjoy their lives, have a modern apartment and are making arrangements to advance their careers. Unexpectedly, the wife receives news her best friend has died and she had been named the guardian of the their four multi-racial children. The couple temporarily take custody while the social worker works on finding the youngsters a forever home.
Following the tradition of 'Baby Boom' and 'Rent a Kid', 'Change of Plans' is a wonderful example of how one can plan their life, only to have the unexpected happen and what you thought was important, actually isn't.
Featuring Joe Flanigan (Stargate Atlantis) and Brooke White, the film is filled with heart touching moments and some of the best music yet to be featured in the Walmart films. The plot is somewhat predicable, but the script writer did an excellent job of tossing in some twists, and the fact that Joe Flanigan has children of his own, which he admits in the extras, comes out very clearly in his scenes with the boys.
Grace is said at the dinner scene and of course, there is no missing the Walmart brands in the kitchen.
On a scale of 1 to 5, this film is a 4.
