A Prince in Paradise

Also known as: A Royal in Paradise

Starring: Rhiannon Fish and Mitchell Bourke

Premieres: Saturday, January 7, 2023

Storyline: Olivia, struggling with writer’s block after a break up, takes a tropical holiday in hope of some inspiration and meets Prince Alexander, who needs some distance from his duty to marry royalty.

Movie Reviews:

πŸ‘‘ A Prince in Paradise a nice and enjoyable movie. -Maria

πŸ‘‘ A Prince In Paradise was more than I expected. I fell in love with the lead guy. He and Rhiannon Fish were perfect together. It was relaxing and enjoyable. This is a keeper for me! ~kitkat

πŸ‘‘ A Prince in Paradise is family friendly movie is the best. Olivia Perkins is struggling writer’s block after a breakup with Kyle when she takes a tropical Holliday to Haven Isles in hopes of some inspiration so, she goes with Katie & she meets Prince Alexander Barclay the 3rd of Torova, who needs distance from his upcoming duty to marry royalty. Prince Alexander receives an invitation from Dr. Lee for Fundraiser in Haven iIsles. (SPOILER ALERT!) Prince Alexander is with his bodyguard named Winston. Winston is with Katie. Olivia is with Prince Alexander. Queen Patricia is with Ridley. Kyle is with Tiffany or without her. Olivia has written another books called; “A Prince in Paradise”. Olivia video chat with Erica about Romance, Royalty, & Tropical Islands. Erica asks about Olivia & Prince Alexander or books so, Olivia replies both. Since Prince Alexander’s Mother named Queen Patricia sends Ridley to spy on Prince Alexander in Haven Isles when Winston & Prince Alexander arrive in paradise; “Haven Isles”, for Fundraisers. ~Anonymous

πŸ‘‘ A Prince in Paradise – The story was simple and sweet, a bit cheesy at times, but mostly family-friendly minus some of the wardrobe. The swimsuits worn on the beach were too revealing for my taste, along with Rhiannon’s dress choice for the charity function. Overall, in my opinion, this film is not a stand-out for the royal-themed movies; the romance portion was way too instant. Not a keeper for me, personally, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it for family viewing based on the clothing choices. ~Net

From Chicago With Love

Also known as: Lease on Love

Starring: Rebecca Liddiard and Dan Jeannotte

Premieres: Saturday, January 14, 2023

Storyline: Poppy is a marketing specialist whose life is turned upside down when she fakes an engagement with her boss's handsome new client Milo, to win over her strict building manager and get Milo the penthouse suite.

Movie Reviews:

πŸ’• From Chicago With Love was filmed by Reel One in Hamilton, Ontario. The Canadian release was Lease on Love and was family friendly. Poppy is quite lively for someone who gets walked over a lot. But of course her giving spirit triumphs in the end after a comedy of lies. ~Anonymous

πŸ’• From Chicago with Love is, okay I guess. It had it's sweet moments, but it just felt too awkward for me. -Maria

πŸ’• From Chicago With Love is family friendly about Poppy us a marketing specialist whose life is turned upside down when she fakes an engagement with her boss’ handsome client named Milo the penthouse suite ~Anonymous

πŸ’• FROM CHICAGO WITH LOVE Family friendly, I think, although if you are watching with young kiddos, the female lead was moving in together with her fiance before they got married, which could be a questionable value for some. Anyways... some of you know I don't like love triangle romance tropes. I do love both female and male lead. Happy to see Dan Jeannotte again :) I'm not a fan of how the story unfolded and just the whole storyline generally. Too many things going on with the obnoxious and ridiculous influencer and Poppy's career life, plus the fake/real fiance, and the whole wedding planner thing which was taking it way too far and too unrealistic to me. I do love the chemistry and enjoy it when Poppy and Milo are connecting, but to me it's hard to feel good about their fake romance development while Poppy was also still engaged, no matter how indifferent her fiance was. Also, I couldn't stand that influencer lady. So dramatic and manipulative, and then all of a sudden she came to game night?! This is a one time watch for me, but I do hope we will see Dan Jeannotte and Rebecca Liddiard again in another movie. ~CH Mom

Fall Into Winter

Starring: Lori Loughlin, James Tupper, Janaya Stephens

Premieres: Saturday, January 28, 2023

Storyline: In Fall Into Winter, Keely (Loughlin) is aghast when her brother sells his half of their family-owned, upscale candy shop to his best friend from high school (and her nemesis, Brooks) forcing a sudden urgency to find connection and common ground. Keely has been hurt before; change is her new nemesis. Brooks’ past is a mirror of Keely’s. He, too, has a fortress around his heart. Fate brings the pair together. Might it also offer new beginnings?

Fall Into Winter is executive produced by Brad Krevoy and Susie Belzberg Krevoy.

David Anselmo produces for HP Into Winter Productions, Inc. Fall Into Winter is written by Cara J. Russell.

Movie Reviews:

❄ Fall Into Winter – I sooo enjoyed this family-friendly movie on Great American Family! What a delicious treat! Lori Loughlin is lovely, as always, even when she was working in the kitchen in the candy shop. Seeing her again on my TV screen, felt like a visit with a dear old friend. It was such a pleasure to see Lori return in Fall Into Winter, which was heartwarming, engaging, and down-to-earth. This well-written story is more unique than the average rom-com. The tension between Lori’s character, Kerry, and her new business partner, Brooks, played by James Tupper, was amusing and entertaining. The two also have a history from high school, which is an interesting part to their story, which leaves both characters feeling vulnerable over this new partnership. It was reiterated throughout the movie, that this business venture was a fresh start, and I thought that was a wonderful comparison for Lori’s return to acting and this January movie premiere for the New Year. Fall Into Winter is such a cozy, sweet story; I know I will enjoy watching it over and over again. And I was so delighted to see Lori Loughlin again; I can’t wait to see what Great American Family plans with her next! ~Net

❄ Fall Into Winter- Great to have Lori Loughlin back in this all new movie. The cast was great all around. Whole family enjoyed this one. CJ

❄ Ahhh, Fall into Winter is such a beautiful movie!! Looking forward to next month's lineup so much! –Maria

❄ I've enjoyed Fall Into Winter so much! It was such a lovely, heartwarming, cosy movie with lots of chocolate:) And to see Lori Loughlin again ... what a present. She is such a talanted actress. Hope to see her more on GAF. And her co-star James Tupper was just a perfect match, they were great together. I'm so happy I've got a chance to watch this really great movie. ~Oksanka~

❄ I loved this wonderful and heartwarming movie "FALL INTO WINTER"~So great to see Lori Loughlin back once again.This movie made me smile and I just enjoyed it so much.It's one of those movies that truly makes your heart feel good.I would love to see her in more movies and soon.Thank you so much for showing this.. ~Anonymous

  1. A Royal In Paradise and Lease On Love both look good.

    We all have our own opinions and respect each other on this Forum but I personally will not be watching anything with Lori Loughlin in it - Florence

    1. Sad to hear that. I personally feel if a person paid their debt to society, they deserve a second chance. Just my opinion. Enjoy the ones you watch. I’m excited about GAC In January. Looks like good ones !!!! Merry Christmas πŸŽ„

    2. I feel that way, too.

    3. I felt the same way until I remembered that I am not perfect myself. I have done things wrong and needed forgiveness. The Bible says, “Let him without sin cast the first stone” We need to forgive. She paid her debt and it’s not up to us to judge her.

    4. I live a very simple life and a very blessed life. Lori is in the middle of a life where everyone competes with each other. It is sad that she felt her children needed a degree in a prestigious college. So much so she skirted the rules. However she used her own money to do it. We have so many examples of individuals doing this with public monies and we can not even afford to send our own children to college. I know it's more complicated than this, but Lori may have learned a dear lesson and has served her time. I am glad she is getting another chance. I sure would want one. I would want my child to get another chance too.

    5. We have nothing to forgive Lori for doing. God has forgiven her, so I am thrilled to see that GAF is smart enough to bring her back to tv!!! Love conquers all! (It is also way less stressful on your body to “love” than “hate””,” probably because loving others is what we are created to do!)

  2. I think the network got a bit confused with the air dates for the 1st 2 movies, because the trailer for Lease on Love says Jan 7, but now this is saying the week later.

    Either way, it's nice to see more then 1 movie airing in January this year since they had time to make or buy more! -Maria

    1. Maria, Yeah, they were still showing conflicting dates for the movies last night when I was watched GAFam. I decided to go with the premiere date on the trailer. Since they are showing this commercial first, it must mean this will be their first movie. I will be sure to check with my friends at Great American Family after Christmas, unless something about this is posted on social media.

    2. I saw that yesterday, too. The ad at the bottom of the screen said A Royal in Paradise January 7 and then they played the commercial for Lease on Love that also said January 7. Wonder which one is right.

  7. I didn’t come to this site much this year because I knew all the movies I watched were going to be family friendly. I only watched GAC movies. Thank you to everyone who runs this site.

    My top 3 movies this year were

    1 A Christmas Present
    2 A Merry Christmas Wish
    3 Christmas at Pine Valley

    I think GAC Christmas movies are going to be built around A Christmas Present. That is the best Christmas movie I saw in years.

  13. I’m so glad to see Lori back. She has served her time. And there are other immoral behaviors that are far worse to me, that happen daily in the entertainment industry and no one is ever punished for. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. But I’m glad to see GAC is giving her another chance.

    1. That's right. Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has added this show, along with Psych, to their afternoon lineup.

      Drop Dead Diva aired from 2009 to 2014 on Lifetime.

      For anyone interested, here are the basic storyline details via HMM:

      "When beautiful, but vapid, model wannabe Deb has a fatal car accident she suddenly finds herself in front of Heaven's gatekeeper, Fred, who declares her a self-centered "zero." Outraged, she attempts to persuade Fred to return her to her shallow existence but is accidentally relegated to the body of the recently deceased Jane Bingum. A brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney with a loyal assistant, Jane has always lived in the shadow of her more comely colleagues whereas Deb has always relied on her external beauty. Now, by a twist of fate and a bolt of divine intervention, both personalities must learn to coexist in Jane's plus-size frame in the ultimate showdown between brains and beauty."

      Starring Brooke Elliott, Margaret Cho, April Bowlby, Kate Levering, Jackson Hurst, Josh Stamberg and Ben Feldman.

      Brooke D'Orsay ( A Fabled Holiday, Miss Christmas) starred in 9 episodes of this series - in the first 3 seasons. (There are 6 seasons in all.)

      Please know... I have never viewed this show, as the story of someone being sent back to earth after dying doesn't appeal to me, so I have no idea what the content is like.
