Stars: Cindy Busby and Marshall Williams
When Jo (Busby) realizes that her family's general store in Daisy Hills (built by her late mother) is losing money, her father Duke calls in a favor to help out the store. Unfortunately, Duke's help is Jo's ex-boyfriend, Blake (Williams), former Daisy Hills native-turned-New York business consultant. They argue over the approach to saving the store: Jo understands the personal touch needed for a small town while Blake focuses more on how to make a profit. Eventually, they reach a compromise and find themselves falling back in love. But when Blake gets a call about his dream job back in New York City, things start to fall apart again, forcing Jo and Blake to make a decision about their future.

Struggling Nashville musician Shayna (Schram) is on the verge of giving up on her career and returns to her small-town home, when a chance encounter with prolific songwriter Grady (Matter) changes everything. He's writing a song for country music star Duke Sterling (Bryant) and Shayna seems like the perfect writing partner. The two grow closer and romance blooms as they work on their love song, but when Shayna meets Duke, who takes a liking to her and asks her to be his opening act, it undermines everything she and Grady created and Shayna feels forced to choose between love and possible stardom.



'MY BEST FRIEND'S BOUQUET'
A Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere
Saturday, October 10, (9 p.m. ET/PT)
Stars: Chaley Rose, Nathan Witte, Rebecca Olson and Luisa d'Oliveira

When Josie starts dating an eligible bachelor she met at the reception, she decides the bouquet is at work. What she doesn't know is her long-time friend Alex (Witte) secretly holds a torch for her. As Josie clings to the notion that the bouquet is always right, she's missing real-world signs that her perfect match has been in front of her all along.



'SWEET AUTUMN'
A Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere
Saturday, October 17, (9 p.m. ET/PT)
Stars: Nikki DeLoach, Andrew Walker and Henriette Ivanans
Maggie (DeLoach), a successful entrepreneur, returns home for a will reading and discovers she's inherited half of her aunt's famed maple candy business. What she doesn't understand is why Aunt Dee's (Ivanans) maple supplier, Dex (Walker), inherited the other half. Her return also coincides with the town's Sweet Autumn Fest, and through a series of letters Aunt Dee left, Maggie and Dex search for the reason behind her aunt's final wishes. As she and Dex grow closer, Maggie must decide if the life she built is the one she wants.


----------End of Press Release----------


Please Note: I have not pre-screened these movies, so I am not aware, at this point, if all 5 movies will be family-friendly. Please stay tuned for any updates or further details.

Based on the information we've been given, all of these "Fall Harvest" movies appear to be a fresh look at the autumn season. As many of us know, this particular block of films has been lacking on the network in recent years; therefore, it's refreshing to see this new crop of movies this harvest.

When we think of Fall, of course all sorts of colors and images come to mind... orange, golden yellow, pumpkins, apple-picking, hay rides, campfire, blanket, smores, and more! Let's hope this year's Fall Harvest movies give us all-the-feels of a crisp, heartwarming Autumn!


Blessings! Net

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: My Best Friend's Bouquet

CAST:

Chaley Rose ... Josie Hughes
Nathan Witte ... Alex
Rebecca Olson ... Athena
Jaime M. Callica ... Will
Carolyn Adair ... Wedding sales clerk






PLOT:

Storyline via Hallmark: Josie Hughes is a hopeless romantic who believes in the kind of romance in black-and-white movies where the leading lady finds her one true love and gets swept off her feet. She also believes the wedding bouquet always finds its way to the right person when tossed by the bride, as proven time and again at weddings dating back to her childhood. But single Josie ends up with the bouquet at her friend Emma’s wedding instead of their not-single friend Athena and fears she’s wrecked her chances of getting engaged. But when Josie begins dating eligible bachelor Will after meeting at the reception – much to the dismay of her long-time friend Alex, who has secretly held a torch for her since college – she decides the bouquet is responsible for the budding romance and begins to think that Will is “the one.” As Josie clings to the notion that the bouquet is always right, she’s missing the real-world signs that her perfect match is someone else who’s been right in front of her all along.

🎄 4 MONTHS 'TIL CHRISTMAS! Let's Mark the 25th! 🌟 SEE HERE:


 🎄 Merry *Mark the 25th*! 🎄


Here at "It's a Wonderful Movie" we highlight every 25th day of the month - TOGETHER! - as we Countdown to Christmas! You can also join along! August 25th marks 4 months until December 25th, Christmas day!

For all of you Christmas movie fans who wish to participate, simply pick something Christmassy to watch TODAY - on the 25th!

Will you watch one of the Hallmark Christmas movies airing this week or will you choose something else to honor the 25th? It can be a Christmas movie, cartoon, family sitcom or anything you like. (There's only one stipulation - it must be family friendly.) Then, please share in comments below your Christmas choice for the day!


My pick to *Mark the 25th* is...



I decided to choose this movie for several reasons. First, I really enjoyed this sweet story, with Sophie and her grandmother, and the next door neighbors, David, and his nephew, Troy. Something about watching it, just makes me feel good inside and brings a smile to my face. The chemistry between Sophie and David is undeniable from the first time they meet. And the young boy, Troy, adds such a joyful spark to the film - from his love of dogs (especially adorable Riggs!), Christmas, and the wonderful way he enjoys spending time with his elderly next door neighbor.

The fact that David has adopted his nephew - is also one of the many reasons I personally chose this Christmas movie. An adoption has just gone through for someone in my family - and we are all over the moon for them and the little girl who will now have a forever family who loves her so much. We have seen the journey of adoption - through waiting, hoping, worrying, praying and wondering..., but today we are rejoicing!

If you don't have this movie on your DVR, you can pre-order it on DVD from Amazon - *here*.

I'm looking forward to re-watching this movie tonight after watching the convention coverage. Please share in comments if you plan to watch something Christmassy today!

Joyous Blessings to You All! Net
