Storyline via Hallmark: When Jessica sends Christmas cards to five people who’ve changed her life, each is inspired themselves. But Jessica’s music teacher never receives her card. Instead, her son Luke arrives with a vintage cello, explaining his mom is abroad and wanted Jessica to have her beloved instrument. Instantly hitting it off, Luke and Jessica have a wonderful day, ending when Luke gives Jessica a photo of the moon, quoting from It’s a Wonderful Life, “You want the moon? Just say the word, and I'll throw a lasso around it.” But love isn’t lassoed just yet. Fate must step in once again.

Hey there! A bit of an intriguing news:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.productionweekly.com/production-weekly-issue-1166-thursday-october-24-2019-110-listings-26-pages/
Apparently there is a production happening for "Gourmet Detective: Roux the Day". I thought that was interesting because I thought the movie series was over. Just letting you know.
Oh yes... another Gourmet Detective is definitely in the works! They've had a listing for it as being in "Pre-Production" on IMDB for awhile, and there's been buzz among the actors. But I'm not sure Hallmark has officially announced it, yet. It's great to hear Production Weekly has it listed! Finally, it's coming! Thanks for sharing, H.R.!
Deletelove the casting for this
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I'm already drawn to this great cast and sweet story! Maybe it's the "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" fan in me, but any story revolved around a letter or card instantly appeals to me!
DeleteChad Michael Murray & Bethany Joy Lenz could reunited for their future Hallmark movie together
ReplyDeleteI've been watching a lot of Christmas movies, but WOW, this was SO good! Definitely one of the creams of the crop this year. Torrey DeVitto and Chad Michael Murray totally shined in this but all the other actors were excellent too! I totally loved the unique story... all the different story lines going on. Chemistries between the actors are through the roof! The writing was incredible, the movie kept me engaged all throughout. Lots of hearts, romance, family... LOVE IT and would love to watch it again!
ReplyDeleteOh! And you gotta love those reference to "It's a Wonderful Life"!!! Swooooonnnn...
DeleteI thoroughly enjoyed this one! Torrey and Chad had great chemistry, and I loved the multiple storylines showing how the cards changed the lives of the recipients. Another hit in my books! I am loving this year's Christmas movies!
ReplyDeleteI watched H&F Drew Seeley is a Cousin of Chris McNally. They’re members of Hallmark Family. Their Mothers are Sisters
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they work together for Hallmark movies in the future
This movie was pure joy! It was fun and funny, and I loved that there was so much going on. Torrey really gave it her all. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThought this was gonna be predictable and sappy. I was wrong. Loved it!!! It's on this year's top 5-10 for me. I don't think I remember seeing a movie before with Chad M.M. but now I'm definitely a fan. The whole cast was fantastic.
