Alex & Me Blu-ray Giveaway #AlexandMe

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.


As a mom to girls, I always love finding films that inspire and lift girls up. Any movie that has a message that promotes a positive message for girls and encourages them to chase their dreams is alright in my book. If you feel the same, you're going to love this new movie, Alex & Me, from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

Teenager Reagan Willis (Agudong) has one dream – to play soccer like her hero, Alex Morgan. Her bedroom is a shrine to all things Alex, including a life-size poster of the Olympic gold medalist. Yet in the Willis house, Reagan lives in the shadow of her prep football superstar brother, Logan. When Reagan fails to make the cut of the premiere local soccer club team and is humiliated by her rival Claire, she’s certain her ship has sailed. But after accidentally hitting her head, Reagan’s poster of Alex Morgan suddenly comes to life and everything changes!

An Olympic Gold Medalist and FIFA Women’s World Cup champion with a penchant for goal scoring, Alex Morgan is one of the top soccer players on the planet, currently playing forward for the United States Women's National Team and the Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League. Away from the field, Morgan is also an accomplished author of “The Kicks” series, a collection of chapter books filled with wonderful messages of empowerment for young girls. The first The Kicks book, “Saving the Team,” debuted at No. 7 on the New York Times Best Seller list.

Eric Champnella (Thunderstruck, Mr. 3000, Eddie) wrote the Alex & Me screenplay and is also making his full-length feature debut as the film’s director. Alex Morgan serves as co-producer. Producers are Mike Karz (Blended) and William Bindley (Mother’s Day). Todd Williams (The Illusionist) is the executive producer.

Jerry Trainor (iCarly) also stars as Nigel, a less-than-reliable youth soccer coach, alongside Matt Cornett (Bella and the Bulldogs) as Reagan’s brother, Logan; Colin Critchley (Legends of the Hidden Temple) as Reagan’s soccer-playing pal, Ben; Chuiti Tiu (Nashville) as Reagan’s mother, Ann Wills; and Jim Klock (True Detective, Scream Queens) as Reagan’s father (and biggest fan), Joe Wills. Jessica Treska (HBO’s upcoming Sharp Objects) plays Reagan’s arch-rival, Claire.

    2. America is like the only country that doesn't really care about their team in the world cup.

      "Oh we lost...ok..."


      Brasil loses

      "murders, riots, carnage in Rio"

    3. it is very funny, Adam, especially since American sports like baseball and rugby are not popular at all around the world. Over in Europe we usually see soccer matches as little wars between the countries and consider losses like deaths. I personally don't give a damn about it, but that is just me... like literally just me.

  3. Isaak plays basket ball. They both did swimming and ju jitsu for awhile. Mica tried soccer one season. Mica's about to try cross country. I'm kind of nervous for him. He's just not a sport kid. Travis keeps pushing it. I'm ok if they just do something extra - chess club, drama, show choir...

  10. My son plays and loves basketball. We were at Cedar Point and he won their new basketball barn game. It was giving him anxiety to watch those going before him miss most of their shots. He got the first and last, to win a medium prize. ;) I've been seeing this movie around online, glad to see what it's about, it sounds great!

  12. Soccer... I still don't know the rules. Except for that red card, because then you need to go home and have some pie. I think.
