UPtv Adds New Movie to May, 2025 Lineup




Good news for UPtv movie watchers...

There's another new movie being added to the May lineup that comes from the production company previously known as Reel One Entertainment. (ROE is now owned by StudioF1.)

This movie is dated 2023, but hopefully, this means we will continue to see new rom-coms and Christmas movies from this production company on UPtv in the future.





A Bestselling Kind of Love

Premiere Date: Sunday, May 25, 2025

Starring: Ashley Newbrough and Jason Diaz

Storyline: Nora is thrilled when her first novel shoots to the top of the bestsellers list but is terrified of speaking in front of crowds to promote her book, so Nora’s literary agent hires Daniel, a public speaking coach, to help Nora overcome her fears, which is easier said than done.

Movie Review:

Reel One's A Bestselling Kind of Love is clean and cute. (streaming on Xumo Play). -Maria


Streaming:

This movie is also available to stream for free through various platforms. If any of you have seen it, please feel free to share a review in comments below.




Note: UPtv is also airing The Librarian movie trilogy on Friday, May 23rd. These movies are all from the early 2000's.


Happy movie-watching!

How Would You Review "When Hope Calls" Season 2?




For those of you who watched When Hope Calls" Season 2, what were your thoughts on the finale episode and the season overall?

Be sure to send your reviews to Great American Family, but I would also love to hear from you. Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

I'm currently on watch for any news on a potential season 3. After that season 2 cliffhanger (not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it, yet), I'm thinking it's gotta be a sure thing. Right? I mean... they can't leave us there. Can they?

Anyway, here is my review of season 2, and I'd absolutely love to know your take on it, too!



------------------------------

My Review sent to Great American Family:

What a truly wonderful and exciting season 2 finale episode and a beautiful season of "When Hope Calls" overall! It was such a joy to see beloved characters return from season one while slowly being introduced to new ones who quickly found a place in our hearts.

What a joy to meet Nora Anderson, Mountie Michael Fletcher, Delores, Hannah Lawrence, Wyatt Parker, Maggie's parents, Mountie Jim Reynolds, and the children... Ruby, Charlotte, Annie, Art, Steve, and Wally. Even Jerry Huntsman was a thrilling new addition!

Thank you, Great American Family, for bringing this inspiring series back to life. I’m so grateful for the uplifting stories, the sweet orphan children, the meaningful touches of faith (would love to see even more!), the tender, gentle love stories—and really, just everything about it!

Each time I watch "When Hope Calls," I'm filled with a deep sense of peace and calmness. My family and I have rewatched every episode more times than we can count, and we're truly hoping for a third season.

God bless everyone at Great American Family for the amazing work you do!

Happy Mother's Day πŸ’

First, I'd like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to my kind, caring, thoughtful, amazing, beautiful Momma! Her love, strength, and grace inspire me every day. I'm so blessed to call her mine. I’m deeply grateful for the love and dedication she—and my daddy—poured into raising us. Their guidance shaped our values and, most importantly, led us to a strong faith in Jesus. Today and always, I cherish their constant support. Their love is a true reflection of God’s love!

Also, Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mamas who stop by here! You have the toughest—and most rewarding—job in the world!

I’m deeply thankful to the Lord for the beautiful gift of mothers. Through their unwavering, unconditional love, they reflect the depth of God's amazing love for all His children. Scripture encourages us to honor our mothers, and it also offers them wisdom and spiritual guidance as they nurture and lead their families.

One of the most meaningful gifts we can give to a mother—whether our own, a grandmother, aunt, sister, or daughter—is to pray for her. Lifting her up in prayer is a powerful way to show love and support.

To those who are missing a beloved mother or grandmother, my heart is with you. I’ll be holding the memory of my late grandmothers close, and I pray you find comfort in remembering the love and legacy they left behind.

Praying each of you has a blessed and peaceful Mother’s Day.

Movies & More... 🎬

I am sooooo excited to watch the When Hope Calls Season 2 Finale!!! I'm hoping I'll get the chance tonight via Pure Flix. And while I can't wait to see it, I truly don't want this season to end. This season 2 has been spectacular and every similar word the Webster dictionary has for incredible!!! I can't even imagine there won't be a season 3, but hoping Great American Family/Media will make an announcement (either way, but hpefully, positive) soon!

Okay... so Love In The Clouds looks like it might be a nice movie; however, I can't help from feeling the timing for this premiere seems off - due to the cast wearing heavy coats, scarves, hats, and gloves. Based on the press pics and some of the video promos, it just doesn't look like a movie that should premiere in May on Mother's Day weekend. It looks more like a Fall or Winter January movie in my opinion. It is really great, though, to see both Paul Greene and Gail O'Grady on Hallmark again! (Kinda makes me want to pull out "All I Want for Christmas" and watch it! Love that Christmas classic! And... by the way, speaking of classics, "A Christmas Detour," starring Paul Greene and Candace Cameron Bure, airs on the Hallmark Channel Friday night!!!)

As I mentioned above, The Jane Mysteries: Murder At Moseby has aired on Hallmark+ previously, and I have seen this movie. In my opinion, this murder-mystery is best suited for pre-teen age and up.

UPtv is airing the third movie in the Love Club Moms series, The Love Club Moms: Harper. While I haven't seen this movie, it does sound like a woman who is not divorced and still married in the eyes of the law (and most importantly, God), may be entertaining the idea of dating. If this is truly the case, I cannot recommend this movie.

Please know, I haven't prescreened the new movies airing this weekend (except the The Jane Mysteries). If you'd like to share a review after the movies air, please do so in comments below.


Blessings to you all!
Happy Mother's Day Weekend!
