Reviews:
💘 "Made For You With Love" was a sweet movie, but I must say I got a little bit irritated with the girl's attitude at times. Won't say anymore because many have not watched yet. Did love her designs!" ~kitkat
💘 "Made for You, with Love - This was a pretty cute movie. I agree with kitkat – the lead girl, Amanda, was a bit irritating in the beginning, I was so happy when she finally lightened up. Overall, family friendly, although I want to caution - I wasn’t fond of the 2 or 3 uses of Oh My G— and a guy does dress up, just to be funny, in a bride gown. There is a sweet connection between the leads – you can really sense their attraction to one another. I also liked the story of the seamstress, Amanda, who restores vintage wedding dresses. She’s trying to date again to overcome a past bad breakup, but will she choose the guy she’s currently dating, Keith, who seems perfect, or will she choose her new friend, James – who is brutally honest and sometimes annoying, in a sweet way. James is also there for her when she needs him the most. Along the way, Amanda’s own heart may be slowly mending." ~Net

Reviews:
💘 "I thought Sincerely, Yours, Truly was cute. It was a little confusing at the beginning, but got better as the movie went along. Family-friendly and a nice change of pace from the so-so Hallmark movies lately. Natalie Hall is becoming a must-watch for me when she's in a movie." ~Anonymous
💘 "Sincerely, Yours, Truly" on the 14th was a good movie." ~kitkat
💘 "Sincerely, Yours Truly. Well now here's a bit of a surprise - Natalie Hall can be hit and miss with me and to be honest in the couple of movies I have seen him in Marshall Williams has been a bit insipid but both stepped up to the mark here particularly Mr Williams. He was still the boy your mother would like to see you bring home! but his character also had a slightly harder edge to it. There was a slightly slow start to the movie but once it got going it was delightful and the plot was just that little bit out of the ordinary. There was a really great feeling of connection between the leads and plenty of humour. Reallky nice ending too. It's always good when a movie you aren't expecting too much from really hits the mark. I really enjoyed this - it was refreshing and heart-warming and definitely family friendly!" ~Anonymous
💘 "Sincerely, Yours Truly - super cute story! Loved Natalie Hall and Marshall Williams together. It had a "In the Good Ole Summertime" (or "You've Got Mail") sort of feel to it. Very sweet romance. Family Friendly." ~Net
💘 "Watched Sincerly yours truly, and it's very sweet!" -Maria

Reviews:
💘 I am loving UP TV more and more. Watched "The Dating List" and "Change Of Heart" this weekend and loved them both. Also enjoyed "The Right Girl". "Sincerely, Yours Truly" on the 14th was a good movie. These older movies are so much better than the newer ones. Any time I see Larry Levinson mentioned on a movie, I know it will be good. Loved "The Dating List" so much I have already watched it twice. ~kitkat
💘 "The Dating List was pretty good. I thought it could have been better if we got to see the second romance more and I didn't care about the female boss finding love, because of that. The lead actress was very spunky and very pretty. I thought the guy friend/writer was cuter than the lead actor. I thought it was pretty funny, but I thought the part how they met and the copies were over the top. When it came to the 'reveal', I thought how he acted was horrible! That was such a huge turn off for me. However, I am going to watch it again, because I had so many distractions and overall it was a very cute movie! Family friendly as well." Misty
💘 "The Dating List. Super cute! Loved it! Loved the four main actors/actresses. (The guy who played the head of the publishing company also played the groom in Love is a Piece of Cake and his characters are always a little bit too bizarre and unrealistic and don't quite feel like they fit in the sweet movies.) Family friendly." ~~Jane

Hint of Love
Original Air Date: February 28, 2021
Starring: Debs Howard, Dennis Andres
Story-line: A cookbook literary agent with culinary training is tasked with helping elevate the brand of a food channel personality known for his convenience-oriented recipes. However, as the agent works with her client on a new cookbook, playfully clashing over everything from ingredients to tastes, she must choose between following the directions or following her heart.
Review:
💘 "Hint of Love is sort of a no go for me. I just did not like the female lead's character at all in the beginning that I sort of tuned it out. I just had it on until I could watch Relative Race." ~Misty
💘 "I watched Hint of Love and I can't remember details except that I did like it and I think it was family friendly. The lead actress was different but she grew on me and I ended up liking her character." ~Jane

Please note: I have not pre-screened the UPtv new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.
Happy movie watching! Net
Thanks as always for keeping us up to date with movies!
ReplyDeleteMisty
Misty, Always happy to share! Hope we'll L💘VE lots of these! :)
DeleteWhat do you think of Bad Date Chronicles and How to train your Husband?
ReplyDeleteChris... Since they were both family friendly, I'll say they were both just okay to me. I like the lead actresses in both, but neither movie was a personal favorite.

ReplyDeleteI agree! UPtv has really added some cute movies this year!
DeleteSo excited for Sincerely Yours Truly! I have been aware of this one for a while and waiting for it to air in the US. I had wondered if UPTV was going to be its landing spot! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteSame here - I was hoping this one would eventually turn up on US TV.
DeleteThere are actually quite a few Rom Coms out there especially from Reel One Entertainment with stars whom we know from Hallamrk etc which never get shown.
Me too! I kept thinking surely Hallmark would pick up Sincerely Yours Truly last fall after the long period of not being able to film due to the virus. Perhaps at that point, UPtv already had a deal for this movie and others. I'm also thrilled we finally get to see it! :)
DeleteMe too, Hallmark could pick “Sincerely, Truly Yours” up last year starring Hallmark Stars: Marshall Williams & Natalie Hall but why they pick that movie up on UPTV but it’s supposed to be Hallmark
DeleteI have never seen so many completed romcoms in the market which could be picked up by any of the usual suspects.
ReplyDeleteSo many have them too have names which are really well-known to us - Corey Sevier, Jesse Hutch, Greyston Holt, Marcus Rosner, Jon Cor, Stephen Huszar and Steve Lund to name a few.
Sadly it will turn out that we will not get to see a large number of them.
Although the quality is very mixed I would like to thank UPtv for giving us the chance to see this new batch.
Wouldn't it be great of they continued with another dozen for the Spring?!
Yeah, it's great to see so many familiar faces (mainly from Hallmark) in these UPtv movies!
DeleteYou'll also be happy to know - UPtv has already announced 3 more rom-com movie premieres for March. I have the press release - *here* and I plan to do a new post with pictures for each movie soon!
Stay tuned! Spring is right around the corner! :)
I'm confused here - they announced 11 new movies for the next 3 months at the beginning of January.
DeleteIs there now a further 3?
Yes, UPtv announced 11 new movies would premiere on Sunday nights, from January to March! You can see the full press release - here OR the 3 new movies for March - here!
DeleteHope that helps! :)
I have liked the commercial I have seen for Hint of Love. Looking forward to watching it. Funny that it has the same guy as in the Blueprint of Love, I believe it was called.
ReplyDeleteMisty
Misty, I was surprised, too, to see the same guy from "Blueprint to the Heart" in this lead role again! I looked up his name - it's Dennis Andres. According to IMDB, he's also in another upcoming movie, "Tycoon's Kiss," with Chad Michael Murray and Jessica Lowndes.
DeletePlus, I was watching "Made for You With Love" and Clayton James is in that and "Blueprint to the Heart!"
It's great to see all of these cute rom-coms on UPtv!
Looks like they changed the title to that movie to 'Colors of Love', and it's about a librarian that lost her job and moved back to Montana to try and fight for her brother's hotel some guy wants renovated or something like that. The title makes no sense for it to me.
DeleteMisty
Misty, Good catch on that title change for Tycoon's Kiss. I thought Chad Michael Murray and Jessica Lowndes were rather cute together in their Lifetime Christmas movie. Wonder where Colors of Love will end up???
DeleteI was surprised at the lukewarm reaction to Too Close For Christmas.
DeleteI really liked it, thought it was one of the top 3 Lifetime Christmas movies and just missed my overall Top 10 Christmas 2020 list.
We've no guarantee we'll even get to see Colors Of Love.
DeleteWe were lucky to see Too Close For Christmas as Lifetime only stepped in to air it at the last minute.
You'd assume that with the actors involved there would be no problem but there are a number of films with actors well-known to us which aren't being picked up.
Christmas In The Rockies with Stephen Huszar for example was aired on a litle known Canadian channel and only made available in the US on some App.
That's true. "Colors of Love" may go to streaming, DVD or who knows??? We'll have to wait and see.
DeleteAs for "Christmas in the Rockies," since it is an INSP Film / Brain Power Studio - those typically come out one year on DVD and the next year on UPtv, but again, we'll see. I do hope they air it this year.
For those who are not familiar with "Christmas in the Rockies," here is a brief plot description from IMDB:
Storyline: After her father is hurt in a timber accident, Katie Jolly must enter a lumberjack competition to save her family's business. But when the paramedic who saved her dad's life also joins the contest, a romance sparks just in time for Christmas.
Stars: Kimberly-Sue Murray, Stephen Huszar, Trish Stratus
That's ggod news - here's hoping!
DeleteThank you for putting up info about this. I am going to try to look for it.
DeleteMisty
Apparently when Colors Of Love (Tycoon's Kiss) was filming in Bracebridge last October a local radio station announced it was a Hallmark Movie so here's hoping.
DeleteApparently too Jen Lilley and Christopher Russell filmed a Movie called Love Is Trending for Hallmark at the end of January!
The Dating List. Super cute! Loved it! Loved the four main actors/actresses. (The guy who played the head of the publishing company also played the groom in Love is a Piece of Cake and his characters are always a little bit too bizarre and unrealistic and don't quite feel like they fit in the sweet movies.) Family friendly.

Jane, Thank you for sharing this review for The Dating List. I added it above. Sounds like many people liked this one - I'm looking forward to watching it! :)
DeleteHint of Love is sort of a no go for me. I just did not like the female lead's character at all in the beginning that I sort of tuned it out. I just had it on until I could watch Relative Race.
ReplyDeleteMisty
Misty, thank you for sharing. I have it recorded and haven't checked it out, yet. I always appreciate you sharing your take! :)
DeleteI ended up skipping Hint Of Love. The lead guy really annoys me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteNet, I am with you on someone using God's name in vain. It cuts my heart like a knife!
kitkat, So glad you agree - that's exactly how I feel when I hear it.
DeleteWatched Sincerly yours truly, and it's very sweet! -Maria
ReplyDeleteMaria, I agree! Natalie Hall and Marshall Williams are so sweet together! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
DeleteI posted your review above.
Hint of Love was a nice movie. -Maria
