Thanks for the great site! I've seen Erin Krakow on Army Wives and she is totally captivating. Will watch her rise to stardom with joy. I think she's a Juilliard grad too! Beautiful actress!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything regarding a Sept. 14th airing of 'Friend Request'?? Has the scheduled air date been changed?
ReplyDeleteWhy no more details?
I'm looking for this movie too??? I've been looking forward to seeing it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can watch this wonderful movie on the PixL if you have the Hearland Package from Dish which already aired Oct, 5th!
ReplyDeleteit aired again today on PiXL.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this movie!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this movie!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this movie! Hallmark u did it again, another amazing movie! Keep them coming but please start having them come out on dvd! I already have a good collection going but want to add to it more
ReplyDeleteI so agree, Colleen. More Hallmark movies need to be released on DVD! And this one should definitely be one of them!
DeleteCan you tell me the name of the song featured towards the end of the Hallmark Movie, "Chance at Romance"? A male vocalist/group.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. I don't know. Perhaps, someone else will recognize it!

DeleteThe song is Stars and the male vocalist is Lamar: There is a link to the song: https://app.box.com/shared/dl6eokk5hz
DeleteThank you, Celso, for sharing this song from the movie! :) I'll have to check it out!
DeleteI have tried to find this song on iTunes (by both song title and artist) with no success. I have also tried Googling with no success. Where can I get this song for my collection??
DeleteHi, have you found the song? I have an mp3 of it
DeleteI can't even find a vocalist named Lamar. Kendrick Lamar pops up. Any more info?
Deletewhat is the name of the very first song at the beginning of this movie
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I do not know.
DeleteThe song is Afterglow by Wrecking Season
DeleteI love the movie and want to purchase it. I don't like the loud music on the Hallmark movies and I think it takes from the movie.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The loud music in these movies is often very distracting making it nearly impossible to hear the dialogue, at times. May I suggest you use closed captioning. We use it often, and it is wonderful - especially when the background music drowns out the words.
ReplyDeleteI, too, hope this movie is released on DVD!
This is my favorite movie ever, - the cast, the house, the location, the woods--aaaaaaaaw, except that, he shouldn't have allowed the bloody jealous blonde to have the jewelry, and rather would have presented that to Sam while introducing her as the model to everyone at the show...and of course, the blonde needed one tight punch on her face from somewhere for talking nonsense to Sam! Very nice script, and direction! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you "Loved it"! It is a sweet love story and Erin Krakow is so adorable in it!
DeleteThe blonde was quite annoying, agree! I'm glad Sam (Samantha) didn't resort to physical violence. I think the blonde, got what she deserved, in the end... and Samantha got, in the end, what she deserved- the guy, Heath!
Where is the house in the movie, Chance at Romance? It was also aired on the movie "The backup Plan" with Jennifer Lopez. I'm wonderng if its a set or somewhere in Moorpark, CA where Chance at Romance was filmed. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteHmmm??? Wish I could help, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else will recognize it.
DeleteAny idea where the house is located in the movie, "Chance at Romance"?
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry, I don't recall it from another movie. Perhaps, someone else will.
DeleteWill this movie be on again?
ReplyDeleteYes, it will air again on March 22, 2015 at 11 AM. (Eastern standard time) I hope you will be able to watch or record it then, Dee.
DeleteThank you for visiting my site & leaving a comment! :)
This is a favorite. Please release it on a DVD. I have watched it so many times. Really good love story. Hallmark has again given me good, clean entertainment. Please release more moves of this caliber on dvd. Second Chances, Always & Forever, uncorked, bridal wave and Chance for Romance. Great!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI second that... they should ALL be released on DVD!!!
DeleteDid I not read somewhere on your blog recently that a Chance at Romance was coming out on DVD our am I imagining things???
ReplyDeleteUmmm... I've not seen this one on DVD, yet... but there's always hope. Erin Krakow's Christmas movie "A Cookie Cutter Christmas" is available, and of course, "When Calls the Heart" has many DVDs! Still looking for "Chance at Romance"!
DeleteAnybody knows the instrumental song at the end of the movie ?? thanks so much
ReplyDeleteI posted this question, on the right column of my blog... hopefully someone who visits here will know!
DeleteI didn't receive any response on this. So sorry... I guess no one knows.
DeleteWho is the actress who portrayed the sister to Sam? I recognize the face but can't pull out a name.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly who you mean... she is actress Jean Louisa Kelly, who you may recognize as a teen actor in 'Uncle Buck', with John Candy and Macaulay Culkin, or you may know her from her well known funny sitcom series 'Yes Dear', where she portrayed Kim Warner.
DeleteActress Jean Louisa Kelly also starred opposite of Dean Cain in the Hallmark Christmas movie 'The Three Gifts'. Hope that helps!
That's her! From Uncle Buck!
DeleteJean Louisa Kelly also played a wonderful part in the movie "Mr Holland's Opus" as the high school girl that falls in love with Mr. Holland - her character was Rowena Morgan.
DeleteCan someone tell me the location of Heath's home..I'm so in love with it.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie to add to the re- watch library.
ReplyDeleteAnybody know the name and artist of the song while they are taking pictures at the meadow?
I love the song "Star" from the movie Chance at Romance and was thrilled that you posted the link to the song. Does anyone know the full name of Lamar who sang the song and if he has a CD? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am dying to know, too.
Delete
ReplyDeleteHi, who know the songs of the credits and the photo shoot of Sam in the meadow with the sunset with heats
Who sings the song with the lyrics tears I cried over you
ReplyDeleteI have looked for any information using just "Lamar" and have been unsuccessful. Help please...last name? This man is very talented!
ReplyDeleteLast name of Lamar who sings the above song? I have been unsuccessful in my search!
ReplyDeleteWhy was the name changed??? I first saw this like 6 years ago and it was called FRIEND REQUEST.....
ReplyDeleteYeah, they seem to do that with some of the PixL movies when they play elsewhere. Not sure why on this one. It's a cute movie with either title.
