In just one year, Family Movie Night has reached millions of viewers all across America. The most recent movie, Change of Plans, was a significant success on Saturday, January 8th. Over three million households watched the movie, and many lives were touched by the messages of compassion and self-sacrifice.

The opportunity to watch great entertainment with “teachable moments” has created a wonderful way for families to interact and discuss important universal truths like honesty and empathy. Now the latest in the Family Movie Night series, Truth Be Told, is set to air in April 16th, 2011 on FOX.

Truth Be Told is lighthearted and entertaining, yet it is also a poignant story about the pitfalls of compromising your integrity to achieve your goals, no matter how honorable those goals may be. It highlights how being honest may occasionally have consequences, but it’s what builds character and earns the trust of others.

What’s the secret to a successful marriage?

According to Colorado’s leading marriage counselor Annie Morgan (Candace Cameron Bure, Full House, Make It or Break It), honesty and love are the keys to successful long-term relationships. Ironically, Annie has never been married and doesn’t always follow her own advice. When an opportunity arises to discuss hosting a relationship talk show with media mogul Alexander Bishop (Ronny Cox, St. Elsewhere, Beverly Hills Cop), Annie jumps at the chance. Through a misunderstanding, she receives an invitation for her and her spouse to join Bishop at his New Mexico ranch. Fearful that being single will wreck her big chance, Annie conspires with Mark Crane (David James Elliott, JAG), an old college friend who is a retired professional football player and recent widower, to pose as a married couple with their teenage kids for the weekend. A series of comical misunderstandings mark the weekend, leaving Annie emotionally involved with Mark and his two teenagers and battling with her own conscience. Will she confess the truth about her marital status or the feelings she’s developing for Mark? Telling the truth may have its consequences, but ultimately it’s what opens our hearts and brings out the best in each other.
