UPtv will be premiering NEW MOVIES on Sunday nights in March, beginning with "My Birthday Romance" starring Ali Cobrin and Jesse Hutch.
Also, look in March for the premieres of "Charm of Love" and "Love at Sunset Terrace!" See details on all of these movies below...
My Birthday Romance
Original Air Date: March 7, 2021
Starring: Ali Cobrin and Jesse Hutch
Story-line: Callie Fitzgerald is tired of her family fixing her up and questioning her single status. She is determined to find a pretend boyfriend for her 35th birthday party just so her family will leave her alone. What she didn’t expect was to actually fall for him.
Review:
🌞 "This is all very strange. The movie My Birthday Romance has been shown somewhere before. A while ago we were "Channel-hopping" and happened to come across this as it was just starting but when we saw the name Jesse Hutch decided to watch it. We forgot to note what Channel it was and haven't found it since! Now there's nothing new about the plot - we've seen this many times before in various guises but what elevated this was the interaction between Jesse and Ali Cobrin (whom I hadn't come across before) which was excellent and it moved along at a nice pace whuch kept your interest. Her brother was an interesting character too. It did go a bit pear-shaped in the final quarter but the actual ending was good and overall it was an above average movie. No problems as regards family frindly too." ~Anonymous
🌞 "My Birthday Romance--this movie was cute, sweet, I LOVE Ali Cobrin, she was a new face to me but I loved her. Love Jesse Hutch. Loved her family and how close they were and the little girl (her niece) was just adorable. Nothing seemed inappropriate to me." ~Sabrina
🌞 "I enjoyed watching "My Birthday Romance!" The brother is super funny, and I just loved all of the family! The mom & dad are a little pushy, but you could just sense how much they love and care for their daughter and just want her to be happy like they are together. The relationship between Callie and Will is fake - at first. They've both been pressured so much about being single, they just want a break, but it's obvious they are falling for one another. Great cast and family friendly." ~Net
🌞 "I could not get into My Birthday Romance or The Charm of Love, in fact, I deleted both before they were over. It could have just been the mood I was in??" ~Jane
The Charm of Love
Original Air Date: March 14, 2021
Starring: Katrina Lynne Norman and Tilky Montgomery Jones
Story-line: Art historian Dr. Madison Turner, an expert in ancient artifacts, travels halfway around the world to the Caribbean to find the legendary "Lovers Stone" to save her beloved museum, but when she meets Andrew “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, an international hotelier with trust issues and a local’s knowledge of the island, her search may lead her to true love after all.

🌞 "I enjoyed The Charm of Love. I would recommend watching it on once and if you missed it." -Misty

Love at Sunset Terrace
Original Air Date: March 21, 2021
Starring: Ellen Woglom and Carlo Marks
Story-line: Tired of her fast-paced life in the city, Sophie Carter travels to a small seaside town to disconnect and self-reflect, staying at a rental home run by a widowed father of a young girl. With a little nudging from the matchmaking daughter, Sophie and Michael unexpectedly start to fall in love and Sophie must decide between returning home or following her heart.
🌞 "I just watched Love at Sunset Terrace and absolutely loved it! The actors and actresses just all seemed very natural and realistic to me. Definitely family friendly and worth a re-watch. (One thing that was a bit distracting: you know how sometimes in the bottom right corner of the screen they'll have a little hallmark or uptv logo/icon? It's sometimes distracting to me when they do that, but all throughout this movie they kept popping in a large advertisement for The Passion of Christ so that a rather large image of Jesus kept popping into the bottom right corner of the screen. I was not thrilled to have a picture of Jesus's head bobbing about on the picnic table or the kitchen counter or the kayak. I wonder who at uptv thought that would be a good idea??!" ~Jane
Please note: I have watched the new UPtv movies listed above and found them all to be family friendly. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.
Based on the storylines and posters given, I think all of these movies look potentially good; however, I am most looking forward to "Love at Sunset Terrace." The story sounds lighthearted and sweet, and the poster looks really fun!
Which one of these new movies looks interesting to you? Be sure to share your pick in comments below...
Happy movie watching! Net
I could have sworn that first movie has already been on TV. I didn't care for it, but it seemed family friendly.
ReplyDeleteMisty
That's interesting - thank you for letting us know, Misty.
DeleteThis is all very strange.
ReplyDeleteThe movie My Birthday Romance has been shown somewhere before.
A while ago we were "Channel-hopping" and happened to come across this as it was just starting but when we saw the name Jesse Hutch decided to watch it.

Her brother was an interesting character too.
It did go a bit pear-shaped in the final quarter but the actual ending was good and overall it was an above average movie.
No problems as regards family frindly too.
That is odd. Perhaps, some network gained the rights to air this first? Interesting.
DeleteI'm always glad to hear a movie is family friendly - so I appreciate you sharing that news with us!
If you ever figure out which station it was, please be sure to share- I would love to know!
Most of the movies that air on UP are from Pixel which is "the Hallmark Channel" of I believe Dish or Direct TV and
Deletea great add to UP since Hallmark movies have become more questionable this past year.
LOL, Pixl is not part of the Hallmark Channel, The UpTv Movie premieres are from Reelone entertainment. Many of these air in Canada before premiering on the USA.
DeleteThanks Net for listing these. I will give them all a try. Up TV is what I am watching more and more. There has been nothing on there to offend me.
ReplyDeletelove at sunset also looks to me to be delightful. if i ever have the opportunity to travel and relax...the seaside location with some romance will win every time!
ReplyDeleteIMDB says it was released in Canada in 2020: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13099852/
ReplyDeleteI think he played a pretend boyfriend in this movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6398360/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt

Ooh! The Charm of Love sounds good. I like the story line. Have a wonderful day. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. I like movies with a Romancing The Stone storyline to them!
DeleteMisty
I was looking at last year's schedule for UPtv and see that they also had a movie every weekend for Jan, Feb and March and then only a couple in April but then one every weekend in May and June.
ReplyDeleteI would be more than delighted if they had the same schedule for 2021!
i am generally delighted with uotv movies...altho every once in awhile they are a bit too corny. Love at Sunset Terrace looks to be a beautiful setting for romance & imho settling down in a small seaside town with the OH SO HANDSOME Carlo Marks would be a BIG BONUS!!!! thanks for always keeping us up to date on the latest entertainment...love your site!!!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwe... THANK YOU!!! Your comment is so sweet! I'm so glad you enjoy UPtv and your visits here!
DeletePlease feel free to share a movie review of one of the UPtv movies with us anytime... Would love to hear from you! :)
Good morning Net😀
ReplyDeleteDo you have a contact number or actual email address for Uptv and Lifetime. I would like very much to encourage them to put a number of movies on DVD.
I really, really like My Birthday Romance, The Dating List and Love Is A Piece Of Cake. These aired on Uptv.
I also want a number of Lifetime movies put on DVD. Christmas Perfection, A Very Nutty Christmas, A Sweet Christmas Romance, A Christmas In Tennessee, Christmas A La Mode, All I Want For Christmas, Holly's Holiday, Becoming Santa, My Sweet Holiday and A Welcome Home Christmas. I would like a professional release of these movies.
Not everyone has streaming devices and I prefer DVD 's.
Thank you so much.
I'm happy to help!
DeleteUPtv has a contact form on their web-site here:

and as for Lifetime...
they have a contact form here:

It's definitely worth a try. I like many of the movies you mentioned, plus like you, I also still enjoy my DVDs. I don't care if some people say it's old school. Streaming choices can go away, but once you have your DVD, you have your DVD forever! :)
Net, thank you for the UP TV contact info. I just wrote them a message about their wholesome entertainment. I know that reply was for someone else but I took advantage of it.
DeleteI just watched Love at Sunset Terrace and absolutely loved it! The actors and actresses just all seemed very natural and realistic to me. Definitely family friendly and worth a re-watch.

ReplyDeleteI could not get into My Birthday Romance or The Charm of Love, in fact, I deleted both before they were over. It could have just been the mood I was in?? 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.
Oh, and I also finally got around to watching Taking a Shot at Love and loved, loved that one, just as so many others on here did.

My Birthday Romance was such a sweet movie!! -Maria
