🌞NEW MOVIES with Lacey Chabert, Trevor Donovan, Rachel Boston and More This Weekend! 🌊 Which one will you plot to see? πŸ’• DETAILS HERE:

Happy Weekend, Everyone! Looks like we have some great new movie options this Saturday and Sunday. If you have plans, you'll want to set your DVR right now - so you don't miss one of them!

The movie I most want to see is "The Engagement Plot," starring Trevor Donovan and Rachel Boston. I was hoping to pre-screen it this week, but time just got away from me. I must admit, I did fast-forward through my screener a bit and it looks soooo good! I can't wait to fully watch it on UPtv!

I'm also looking forward to the cable premiere of "Identical Love" on Great American Family, plus Lacey Chabert's new movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and another all new movie starring Rachel Boston on the Hallmark Channel! Hope these all end up being good!

See all the movie details below...

  3. I'm definitely watching Groundswell and Dating the Delaneys. I'm excited to see Lacey Chabert as she is one of my favorite hallmark stars. Dating the Delaneys looks like a great and new story, Paul Campbell is one of my favorite leads. I really wished the Engagement Plot had another lead except Trevor Donavon I really dont like watching him

  5. If Paul Campbell is in it, it’s a toss up if it’s Family friendly or not. I won’t be taking the chance.

  6. Erin and Ben Napier to Make Their Acting Debut in HGTV Christmas Movie, 'A Christmas Open House'

    The HGTV stars will play Henry and Sarah Wright, a small town couple who restore historic homes

    Erin and Ben Napier are trying their hand at acting this holiday season!

    The Home Town hosts will appear in one of HGTV's first-ever scripted Christmas movies, "A Christmas Open House."

    Premiering exclusively on Discovery+ this November, the film will feature the HGTV stars portraying a couple named Henry and Sarah Wright. Similar to their real-life counterparts, the characters value the tradition of small town living and specialize in local home restoration, according to a press release from Discovery.

    The Napiers will star alongside lead actors Katie Stevens and Victor Rasuk. Stevens plays Melissa Norwood, "an ambitious Atlanta property stager who teams with her old high school crush, David Phelps (Rasuk), to sell her newly married mom's home in their small Georgia home town," the release states. "The two join up to renovate the place before a couple of wealthy potential buyers are due to see the house on Christmas Eve."

    The description also breaks down the Napier's roles: "Henry is a master woodworker and custom furniture builder, and Sarah is an artist with an expertise in color and transformative design choices."

    Erin, 36, posted the news on her Instagram account Tuesday morning, along with the caption, "So, we are in a movie! Coming November 11 to @discoveryplus — "A Christmas Open House" (link in profile to read more about it, and get to know Sarah and Henry Wright)."

    Her caption was accompanied by a photo of her and Ben, 38, dressed up as their characters in front of a festive backdrop.

    Along with "A Christmas Open House," HGTV will be premiering a second movie called "Designing Christmas," which introduces Love It or List It star Hillary Farr as a supporting character.

    Food Network, another Discovery-owned channel, will also be premiering two new movies called, "One Delicious Christmas" and "A Gingerbread Christmas," which include cameos from Bobby Flay and Duff Goldman. The network premiered its first scripted holiday movie, Candy Coated Christmas starring Ree Drummond, last year.

    1. I read about those new Christmas movie projects, too. It's too bad all four films will air exclusively on the streaming service Discovery+ and not on HGTV or the Food Network.

      For anyone interested, Variety has a great article that gives storyline details for each film.

  7. Wanted to record Engagement Plot Sunday night, but Up took away the 11pm showing. Do you know when it’s on again?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yeah, unfortunately, UPtv removed that encore showing. I was disappointed, too. Makes it much harder to watch everything.

      According to UPtv's web-site, The Engagement Plot repeats on Sunday, September 4th at 9:00PM ET.

      Hope this info is helpful to you.

    2. Watched The Engagement Plot and really liked the involvement of faith. Wasn’t crazy about scheme about engagement but glad true feelings overcame. Really exposed the lack of reality in reality shows and there manipulation. Makes me feel even better I’ve never watched one.

    3. JoCo, I too loved the faith element in The Engagement Plot. Forgot to mention this in my comment earlier.

    4. JoCo, Thank you for this wonderful review for The Engagement Plot! I know what you mean about reality shows - they must be so fake and producer motivated/manipulated.

      Also, I enjoyed the faith element in this movie, as well, especially all of the godly advice and talks between Hanna and her father.

  10. I notice TV Guide says GFAM instead GAF

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I saw that on my DirecTV guide, as well. I like that much better than GAF. Guess there wasn't room for room for the 'A' to be included? Anyway, I like GFAM as the shortened option. I'm sure I'll use that in the future, from time to time.

  11. Identical Love

    After being left heartbroken & alone at the altar, a doctor volunteers for work in a tropical health clinic where Charlotte meets her ex-fiancΓ©’s Twin Brother; Seth

  12. Pleasantly surprised that Dating the Delaneys is family friendly. Enjoyed the movie.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Identical Love was better than I expected. Beautifully shot and pretty well acted. I actually liked the connection between the widow and ophthalmologist maybe a little bit more than the doctor and dentist, but appreciated how they handled the difficulty of dating your ex-fiance's twin brother.

  24. A question for you Net or anyone who can answer this. Is Rachel a Mennonite woman in The Engagement Plot? Her dress was different from an ordinary woman, and yet it didn't appear Amish. Just curious!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. kitkat, That is an interesting question. I don't think she is a Mennonite woman based on what she wore. The dress code for Mennonite women is usually a high neckline and a head covering, and a couple times, Hanna (Rachel Boston) wore off-the shoulder dresses. Also, they don't typically wear any jewelry, and we often saw Hanna proudly wearing her cross necklace.

      Near the end of the movie, we see Father Randy (a Catholic Priest) come in Hanna's father's store. I wasn't certain, but I thought that might be an indication that they are Catholic, but nothing, to my knowledge, was stated.
