I’ve heard rave reviews of A Plumm Summer as it appeals to the entire family. I can’t wait to see it! Stacy Debroff from Mom Central said that,”it was amazing to see every member of my family truly engaged in its wonderful story. In fact, I’m not sure we have all agreed on any movie in the last 2 years of movie rentals and here were my kids, ages 13 and 15, watching a film I thought would be geared just for younger kids and hugging us at the movie’s end. Then our entire staff watched it over lunch, and everyone agreed: what a great throwback to the family classics such as Sound of Music or It’s a Wonderful Life.”
It’s often tough for independent films like A Plumm Summer to reach big theaters nationwide. A successful first two weekends for A Plumm Summer means that more families will have a chance to see the film in more locations and most importantly, Hollywood will hopefully take notice and start to invest time and money into making quality films with stories that appeal to families.
Winner of the Audience Best Film Award at the International Family Film Festival, A Plumm Summer is based on a true story in Montana in the 1960′s, where well-loved local TV legend and puppet, FroggyDoo, gets stolen during a live show. The families of Montana outcry at FroggyDoo’s loss prompts an FBI investigation, but the children of Peaks View take the mystery into their own hands and it’s a race to unravel the mystery (hint: those FBI agents are slow to catch on…)! A Plumm Summer features celebrated actors, Henry Winkler, Billy Baldwin, Jeff Daniels and Brenda Strong (from Desperate Housewives) as well as talented, up-and-coming child actors, all of whom transport you to their small town where themes of friendship and family become interwoven in this amazing little movie.
