The Love Club: Nicole's Pen Pal

Starring: Brittany Bristow and Marcus Rosner

Premieres:Saturday, March 4

Freshly engaged interior designer, Nicole, still wonders if the one she is meant to be with is her mystery college pen pal whose letters she has kept all these years. At a loss of what to do, she seeks out assistance from The Love Club – four women who met 10 years prior and made a vow to always be there for one another should any of them encounter relationship challenges at any point in their lives. Nicole and the ladies of The Love Club reunite and set out to track down Nicole’s pen pal, sending them on a journey to a lodge in the mountains where Nicole encounters romance, comedic imposters, female bonding, and plenty of mishaps until ultimately, the letters help lead her to her true love.


Movie Reviews:

💕 I watched The Love Club: Nicole's Pen Pal on Hallmark Movies Now. There is a husband & husband married couple introduced in the last minutes of the movie. ~Anonymous

💕 The Love Club movie has a husband & husband married couple introduced in the last few minutes of the movie. ~Anonymous

💕 The Love Club: Nicole's Pen Pal- I was very disappointed about that trick they pulled. The movie was so good up to that point. When I realized that it was a gay couple, I took a breath so deep my living room became a vacuum - void of oxygen! ~Namegirl

Game of Love

Starring: Kimberley Sustad and Brooks Darnell

Premieres:Saturday, March 11

Audrey (Sustad), a creative board game designer and Matthew (Darnell), a research-driven marketing consultant, are tasked with creating a new game to help players find romance. Given just weeks to deliver the project, the pair find that they have very different approaches. However, as they try to work together, they discover something they have in common: they each have a lot to learn about love.

A Winning Team

Starring: Nadia Hatta and Kristoffer Polaha

Premieres: Saturday, March 18

When pro soccer player Emily (Hatta) finds herself no longer in the game, she teams up with Ian (Polaha), a laid-back small-town coach, to lead her niece’s team to the playoffs.

Movie Review:

⚽ A Winning Team is family friendly. Acting was good but not much chemistry between the leads...of course that's just my opinion. ~ Joyce in Carolina

⚽ A Winning Team is family friendly about After getting fired for lack of sportsmanship, disgraced pro soccer player Emily Chen (Hatta) travels home at the behest of her widowed brother, Brandon (Yu) and niece, Ava (Garcia). (Review may contain SPOILERS) When she accidentally injures Ava’s coach, Ian Vermette (Kristoffer Polaha), she covers for him and leads Ava’s team into the playoffs. Ian takes a Ted Lasso approach to coaching where winning isn't everything while Emily's competitive nature wants to win-win-win. With a shot at the championship at stake, their differing coaching styles threaten their objective, but as they begin to warm up to each other on and off the field, they each make strides toward healing old wounds. But when Emily gets an offer from her old coach to return, their romantic relationship is threatened. Can these two get back on the same team before the big game? ~Anonymous

⚽ For those saying A Winning Team is clean, it's not. The movie very sneakily snuck in a gay man in that zip lining scene with the instructor saying that he wishes that his 'partner' (aka, now code for 'same sex romantic interest' in these movies, unfortunately) would be more adventerous to him. (and I know this because a reviewer that I enjoy who is also frustrated with Hallmark mentioned it in her review.). -Maria

⚽ A Winning Team – Oh my… this one was, well, difficult to watch. I totally agree with Joyce, there was little if no romantic chemistry between Emily (Nadia Hatta) and Coach Ian (Kristoffer Polaha). In the first hour or so Emily is pushy, arrogant, and basically pretty much unlikeable. Winning and being number one is all that matters to her. In the second hour she makes a complete turn-around; she’s more focused on family, the kids she’s coaching, and having fun. They attempt to make her character more warm and fuzzy. I don’t know, others may like it, but it just didn’t grab me. Some of the acting was stiff, at times, and the romance seemed forced. This is not a movie I would choose to watch again. I typically love Kristoffer Polaha’s movies, but this one missed the goal for me. (pun intended!) ~Net

A Picture of Her — "Spring Into Love" kicks off

Starring: Rhiannon Fish and Tyler Hynes

Premieres: Saturday, March 25

Beth (Fish) unwittingly becomes the subject of an award-winning magazine’s cover and goes on a quest to uncover the true identity of the mystery photographer who snapped her photo.

Movie Reviews:

📷 A Picture of Her is family friendly about Beth goes on a search to find the identity of a photographer as shutterbot who took a shot of her that became part of an award-winning magazine cover: LA Culture. ~Anonymous

📷 Didn't hear of anything naughty in A Picture of Her. Though, I did hear there is an awful lot of kissing (possibly more then in any other Hallmark movie), and 1 of them I heard was a French kiss -Maria

📷 A Picture of Her was okay, not great but not bad. One plot problem I had though was that a crowd swarms around her - a regular person - in public after seeing her on the cover of a local L.A. magazine. Most wouldn't attract that attention if they tried! Anyway, it was well acted with good chemistry between the leads, although I think Tyler's true niche is in more comedic roles (An Unexpected Christmas, Three Wise Men and a Baby). And as Maria mentioned, there is a rather lengthy kissing scene (but unless I missed it, no French kiss). Good for a one-time only viewing for me. ~Mark 25

📷 A Picture of Her is a good movie. It does have more kissing than usual in a Hallmark movie, but to me that makes the story more realistic. That kiss always interrupted in the middle of the movie is very unrealistic. ~Joyce in Carolina

📷 A Picture of Her is family friendly about Beth goes on a search to find the identity of a photographer as shutterbot who took a shot of her that became part of an award-winning magazine cover: LA Culture. ~Anonymous

HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES

All premieres are at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Unexpected Grace

Starring: Erica Durance, Michael Rady and Erica Tremblay

Premieres:Sunday, March 12

Grace (Tremblay) finds a note from a schoolgirl looking for a friend. Since Grace is still trying to find her place in her new hometown, she excitedly writes back and sets off a chain of events that ultimately changes the lives of three people.

Movie Reviews:

🎈 Whoa, Unexpected Grace is real keeper! Erica Tremblay has certainly grown up since 'Hope at Christmas', and is now playing a high schooler grappling with her mother's passing. This movie is definitely family friendly, and I'd be hard-pressed to categorize it; it's not a rom-com, not 'meet-cute', no 'royals'. I challenge everyone to watch, enjoy, and post YOUR take on it! ~Laura

🎈 Unexpected Grace is family friendly about trying to find her place in a new town, Grace discovers a note from a schoolgirl looking for a friend. She writes back & sets off chain of events that ultimately changes the lives of three people. Grace’s Mom passed away & Noelle’s Daughter named Antonia “Toni” Webb’s passed away ~Anonymous

🎈 Unexpected Grace - The movie is family friendly and a drama. I liked it. ~Namegirl

🎈 Loved Unexpected Grace. I really enjoyed this movie with "meat" in it. Rom-coms are good and I enjoy comedy but sometimes we just need something that touches our heart. This one reminded me of the old Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. The Gift of Peace was like that also. Hope Hallmark keeps up doing some of these types of movies. ~Clara

🎈 Unexpected Grace - My husband and I watched the movie, last night, and we liked it a lot. Yes, the storyline was sad initially but it turned into something meaningful, heartfelt and bittersweet. Also, the movie made both of us cry happy tears. The movie was truly was unexpected in many ways. It is refreshing to view a movie that is realistic and faith based and moving. All of the actors were good and the leads had nice chemistry. It was believable. I think Erica and Michael are under rated and the girl who played Michael's onscreen daughter was lovely. ~Joan

🎈 An Unexpected Grace was one of the best movies on HMM this year. This movie has substance with no hidden agendas. Beautiful message too! I will buy this DVD if ever available. ~kitkat

The Cases of Mystery Lane

Starring: Paul Campbell and Aimee Garcia

Premieres:Sunday, March 19

Birdie Case (Garcia) is a bright, successful attorney. Her husband, Alden (Campbell), is smart and charming, but his inability to settle on a career is causing strain in their marriage. When Alden goes behind his wife’s back to take classes in hopes of becoming a private investigator, a homework assignment entangles him in a murder investigation. Birdie just may hold the keys to solving the mystery, but Alden will have to come clean to find out. Only, Alden suspects that Birdie might be hiding secrets of her own.

Movie Reviews:

🔎 The Cases of Mystery Lane was not a winner for me. First, too many holes and coincidences in the storyline. (For example, how was the killer able to hang the first victim?) But most of all, Paul's character is pretty much a nerd (hence, the glasses), yet a nerd who has no problem in acting cocky or being humorous in times of danger. His character was not believable at all. The ending implies more of these mysteries are on the way, but I will be passing on them. ~Mark 25

🔎 The Case of Mystery Lane is family friendly about Alden and Birdie Case find a new way to keep the mystery in their marriage alive. Alden takes classes to become a private investigator, and Birdie may hold the key to solving one of his mysteries. ~Anonymous

🔎 I didn't watch it myself, but people were commenting on Facebook that "The Cases of Mystery Lane" has a gay couple in it. ~Anonymous

🔎 I started watching The Cases of Mystery Lane like 15 min late. It was ok...not much chemistry between the leads to me when a side character said he was in love with the character that died, then I knew that was when I decided to turn it off. Not missing much at all as I wasn't watching Hallmark for almost a year. ~Misty

🔎 The Cases of Mystery Lane is not family-friendly. The victim was gay. They made it seem so normal too, very disturbing. I was about to stop watching anyway, didn't like how the wife acted like she was "best friends" with the guy at work and never have time for her husband. And the characters were too cheesy anyway. ~Abigail

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

Hopefully, we'll find something to love in March! I'm so happy to see Michael Rady is back! His movie is my must-see for the month. How about you? Please share in comments below?

Happy movie watching, Net

🔎 New Hallmark Movies & Mysteries - Mystery Series 🔎 See Here:

Variety is reporting new Hallmark mystery news. According to the article, "Production has begun on “The Cases of Mystery Lane,” starring Aimee Garcia and Paul Campbell. The duo portrays “a married couple who find a new way to keep the mystery alive… quite literally.”"

The report also gives this story synopsis: "Garcia portrays Birdie Case, a successful attorney married to Campbell’s Alden, a smart and charming man with an inability to settle, causing a rift in their relationship."

“When Alden goes behind his wife’s back to take classes in hopes of becoming a private investigator, a homework assignment entangles him in a murder investigation,” per the network. “Birdie just may hold the keys to solving the mystery, but Alden will have to come clean to find out. Only, Alden suspects that Birdie might be hiding secrets of her own.”

I know many mystery fans (myself included!) have been hesitant lately to get involved in another mystery since several of the older ones on Hallmark were left unfinished. *cough* Mystery 101! Hannah Swensen! Martha's Vineyard Mysteries! Crossword Mysteries! and so on and on... This new mystery is already being promoted as a "series," so it does make one wonder how far they will actually take it.

Would love to hear your thoughts in comments below...

🎬 Reviews for Lori Loughlin's ALL-NEW Great American Family Movie "Fall Into Winter" are in... @GAfamilyTV #FallIntoWinter ❆ See Here:

I found the premiere of Lori Loughlin's new movie "Fall Into Winter" to be so delightful I just had to share a review today with all of you. If you've seen it, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments at the bottom of this post.

If you haven't seen it, you can check out my review and many others below. I've collected movie reviews from my followers here and from various social media sites. I hope you enjoy reading all of these various takes from across the web.


Movie Reviews for "Fall Into Winter" from myself and It's a Wonderful Movie followers...

❆Fall Into Winter – I thoroughly 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 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 romantic-comedy. 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, that 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

Hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead. I'm looking forward to spending time with family and watching the movies with a winter theme. We are currently living in a snow globe here in the Midwest; we didn't get quite the amount of snow our local meteorologists predicted, but we still received a decent snowfall, nearly 5 inches. The roads were plowed rather quickly, and our winds have been relatively calm until today. Thankfully, it has been nothing like the blizzard we had just before Christmas, but we are hearing more is on the way! Everything is brightly covered now in white; the world looks pure and fresh. It's been the perfect packing snow for snowball throwing, sledding, and snowman building.

On Saturday night, I'm looking forward to seeing Lori Loughlin's big return to TV with Fall Into Winter. This is, of course, her second time on Great American Family, but her first time in a lead movie role on the network. (Her first appearance was in When Hope Calls Christmas) I'm wishing her much success with this new movie; we all deserve a second chance. The Lord certainly gives that opportunity to all of us. Both forgiveness and redemption are healing experiences. The Bible tells us, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Please be sure to share which movie (or movies) you are looking forward to watching this weekend in the comments below.

Karen, a follower here, shared a review for the new UPtv movie...

TODAY, January 25th, marks 11 months until Christmas Day, 2023! Here at *It's a Wonderful Movie* we highlight the 25th day of every month by watching a Christmas movie as we Countdown to Christmas!

Here in the Midwest, we are expecting lots of snow throughout today and more the rest of the week, so I just had to choose the movie, Let it Snow, starring Candace Cameron Bure and Jesse Hutch, as my Christmas movie to watch today. Please share your own Christmas movie pick to *Mark the 25th* in the comment section below.

If you don't get a chance to watch something Christmassy on the 25th, there are also three good Christmas movie choices on Thursday and Friday this week... on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, the Hallmark Channel, and Great American Family! I'm looking forward to catching those, too, especially A Christmas... Present!

The Happy Camper

Original Air Date: February 5, 2023

Starring: Daniela Bobadilla and Beau Wirick

Storyline: When Dillon's love life falls apart, she returns to her grandfather's farm in Colorado where she works with Jordan, a handsome hardware store owner, to restore a vintage 1960s travel trailer.

Movie Review:

💕 I've seen The Happy Camper before and while it was a good while ago I don't remember it being other than Family Friendly but I sorta remember it being boring and ended up multi-tasking while watching it. ~Florence

💕 The Happy Camper is a very nice movie! -Maria

💕 Also an interesting fact, in The Happy Camper the main leads are married in real life. ~Anonymous

💕 I also thought 'The Happy Camper' was cute. ~Joan

💕 The Happy Camper – This was a refreshing romantic comedy about second chances. I liked the little pieces of the story where it showed that the characters relied on their faith. Wish there had been even more of that in the movie. All of the campers shown in the movie were creative and fun. Loved the scene where the children sing “The Trolley Song” from the movie ‘Meet Me In St. Louis’ near the end – it’s so cute! I just adore that classic film and Judy Garland, so that was such a delightful touch to the movie for me. The Happy Camper is a very sweet, family friendly movie. (By the way, Daniela Bobadilla (Dillon) and Beau Wirick (Jordan), who portrayed the lead roles, are married in real-life. They both were also on the sitcom, The Middle.) ~Net

Luckless in Love

Original Air Date: February 12, 2023

Starring: Paniz Zade and Brett Donahue

Storyline: A dating blogger who anonymously writes under the pen name Luckless goes viral for a post about a disastrous date with a perpetually single sports agent who refuses to settle.

Movie Review:

💕 Luckless in Love was such a funny movie!! –Maria

💕 Luckless in Love – In the first few minutes we are introduced to the leads, Winnie and Holden– by watching them go on several bad dates with other people. They both haven’t had any luck with dating or their careers, and then they meet each other through a dating app. Winnie and Holden's date together is also a TOTAL disaster. Winnie tells her best friend that Holden is Satan, and her friend responds with, “That’s why he’s sooo hot!” Um-NO, Satan is NOT hot. I did not like that line from Winnie's friend at all. Holden is a British single father to a young teenage boy and he’s a well-known player amongst the women, so that last quality instantly makes him rather unlikeable. Winnie and Holden decide to give dating each other another try, but both are using the other to further advance their careers. Their dating escapades end up being rather fun to watch, and there’s a bit of bad singing in the film that’s actually humorous. Overall, not a keeper for me, but the ending was happy; although, I had a feeling Holden was still a player, even in the end. ~Net

Mixed Baggage

Original Air Date: February 19, 2023

Starring: Leanne Lapp and Spencer Lord

Storyline: (via IMDB) When Evie Jones rushes off a flight to make her connection, she has no idea that in her haste, she has grabbed the wrong green duffel bag. Unbeknownst to her, the flight attendant moved hers, and the one Evie has taken belongs to Jake Weber. Thus ensues a series of mishaps, missed messages and misunderstandings as each tries to get the bag back to its rightful owner. But the struggle proves well worth it when through their lost bags, they find each other.

Movie Review:

✈🛄 "Mixed Baggage review: Spoilers*** This movie must be acquired by Up because it came out last year and I saw played on PixlTV. Anyway, the movie was pretty good. I liked the story of the swapped luggage and the struggle to get things straightened out. The actors were great as well. Pretty refreshing actually, compared to what we see these days. There were two things that I did not care for. Like some other movies lately, the females were more forward and instigating movement in the relationships. This happened with the side characters, not so much the main one. The second, more unsettling, was with one of the side couples. The man kept trying to find the perfect way to propose while the woman was getting slightly impatient. At the end of the movie they end up proposing to each other at the same time. That’s semi-okay, but the weird/uncomfortable part was the female actually bought the man a wedding band that she put on his finger. I felt very strange about this. The man should not have an “engagement ring”. That seems very modern and even woke to me. Besides those two moments, I really enjoyed this movie. The lead actors were the best!" ~Anonymous

✈🛄 I saw the Mixed Baggage movie several weeks ago on Pixl. It's a great movie with nothing to be concerned about. ~Anonymous

✈🛄 Mixed baggage reminded me so much of The Holiday Swap. This was one of UPTV Christmas movies this year. Did anyone see that movie this past Christmas? ~Anonymous

✈🛄 I know I am writing a review late, but I finally had an opportunity to watch 'Mixed Baggage' and it was worth the wait. OMG! I enjoyed that movie more than I have enjoyed a movie in such a long time. The plot was complex. There were three lovely couples and best friends who seemed like 'real' best friends. The chemistry was palpable between all of the couples. This movie is a 'keeper for me'. I am definitely purchasing it when it comes out on DVD. It made me smile and my heart soar. :-) ~Joan

✈🛄 Mixed Baggage – I hope you saved up some frequent flyer miles for this one – because this movie is quite the trip! Mixed Baggage is such a fun, delightful story of chance meetings and missed chances and misunderstandings! When the two leads accidentally ended up with each other’s luggage, it was interesting to watch them try to figure out the mystery of whose bag they had in their possession. I enjoyed this sweet little rom-com. It is family-friendly, the leads have great chemistry, and it leaves you feeling good inside. This was a true UPlifting movie from UPtv! ~Net

✈🛄 MIXED BAGGAGE - I often seem to be a minority of one in my opinion so it's nice to report that on this one we're all singing from the same hymn sheet. My heart lifted immediately when I saw "Pixl" appear on the screen. They have been very quiet of late perhaps because of Covid but they generally come up with enjoyable, clean humorous Rom.Coms - Advance And Retreat and Late Bloomer spring to mind. Although they follow a well-trodden path the acting and direction usually ensure they are first class. This was an intriguing well-scripted plot of two airline passengers getting their similar looking baggae mixed-up and included two secondary romances. I was a bit apprehensive at first that the whole movie would be a series of "near-misses" as Evie and Jake tried to ensure the baggage reached the right owner but Pixl kept progressing the plot through Evie thinking Jake was getting engaged, Jake's insecurity with women and the chaos of the upcoming opening of his new business. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing and I liked the sweet and tentative romance between Evie's friend and the movie director for whom they worked. The third romance involving Jake's buddy was a bit of a downside for me - I found his girlfried whingey which was off-putting. I enjoyed Jake being an everyday guy with a complex as to how he could put himself out for Evie and went through agonies with him such as when on the plane he wrote his phone number on a serviette made it into a rose and gave it to her only to see her put in the trash! Perhaps the ending could have been a bit stronger, but overall great acting by the leads make this a charming and appealing movie even if they were casual about hopping on and off a 4 hour flight between Los Angeles and Vancouver! I'd have to say this easily the best movie I have seen this year. In fact reliving it has put me in the mood to re-watch it tonight so no further dent in our Christmas backlog. I'd rate it 9 - Florence

Sweet on You

Previously Known As: Pearl's Pie Place

Original Air Date: February 26, 2023

Starring: Haylie Duff, Rob Mayes, and Chelsea Alden

Storyline: Kate, a small town pie shoppe owner, encounters city boy Drew who, unbeknownst to Kate, is in town to build tract homes that would run straight through her shoppe… until Drew finds his heart stuck between his family’s wishes and a chance at love.

Movie Review:

💕 Sweet on You is an outstanding movie! Highly recommend. –Maria

💕 Sweet on You was a really cute movie. It was funny and sweet and I liked the two leads together. And, the supporting actors were fun too. All in all, well worth a watch. And, it looked like the location was in California. ~Anonymous

💕 'Sweet on You' was also good. Not great but it made me smile. ~Joan

💕 Sweet on You is family friendly about Small-town pie shop owner Kate encounters city boy Drew, who has arrived to build tract homes that would run straight through her business; Drew soon finds his heart trapped between his family's wishes and a chance at love. Kate owner of the town's famous pie shoppe has always lived a sweet, simple life. She recently lost her mother and has been trying to pick up the pieces of her life, then she meets Drew who is in town to claim land that he inherited. ~Anonymous

💕 Sweet on You – This movie is rather charming. I enjoyed the country, down-home sort of feeling, where everyone knows their neighbor and community, and the locals faithfully gather at Pearl’s Pie Place for a slice of pie, some home-cooking and the friendly atmosphere, which includes the owner, Kate (Haylie Duff) and her friend/waitress, Bree (Chelsea Alden). Bree is noticeably very pregnant and added some delightful comedy to the story, especially when she was trying to pair Kate up with Drew, a newcomer in town, who is a big city business man, who has come to town to sell some land left to him by his grandfather. Unbeknownst to the locals, that land includes Pearl’s Pie Place and other special businesses important to the town. At one point, as Kate and Drew spend more time together, the two team up for a 3 legged race. It’s a fun idea, but I couldn’t believe their competition was Bree (the pregnant woman, who looks like she could deliver any day) and her police officer husband, Jake. I thought that was crazy and definitely not advisable for any woman who is expecting - at any stage in her pregnancy. Also, Drew keeps in close contact with his business assistant, Marcus, who appears to be gay. Nothing is ever said, but it’s fairly obvious. Near the end, Jake gets intensely angry towards Drew when he learns why he’s really there. I thought his anger was a bit over-the-top, but the dust finally settles, of course, and there ends up being a happy ending. Overall, “Sweet on You” lives up to its name – it’s a very sweet movie! ~Net

I hope you find a movie or two on UPtv in February that you will love! I think one or two look pretty sweet. How 'bout you?
