Original UPtv Air Date: June 4, 2023

Storyline: A diehard romantic sets a date for her wedding despite still being single. As she goes on a quest to find a fiancé, she’s unaware true love might be right under her nose.

Movie Review:

❤️ The Wedding Wish

Is this movie family-friendly? - I'm not sure. Jenny's best friend is male and his manner and voice is suggestive of gay men we see in other movies but there's nothing definite and he has no dubious interaction with other male characters so I think it's a case of make your own mind up.

*SPOILERS FROM HERE ON"

I have always said that with Rom.Coms you do often have to suspend belief but the main thrust of the plot is just plain daft. Having had a fortune-teller predict she would fall in love and then marry on her 35th birthday Jenny decides to organise the complete wedding -venue, reception, flowers etc all without a fiance and she's not even currently dating. (There's only three months to go)

It's just weird.

Enter Blake (whom you rarely see without an annoying smile on his face) an author who is having mental block and needs Jenny's help for his next book (that's her job).

After an inauspicious start they come to an arrangement to help each other - Jenny with Blake's book and he to pose as her fake fiance in setting up the mechanics of the wedding.

Meanwhike Jenny goes to speed dating and after an initial mix-up teams up with Blake whom she is attracted to and decides he will be THE husband but without telling him.

Just before the wedding Blake asks Jenny to go to Paris with him (no mention of co-habiting so again make your own mind up).

She then winges that they were to get married in a couple of days - big news to Blake who tells her to wise up and immediately breaks things off.

Can you blame the guy for running as quick as he can in the opposite direction especially when they've only known each other for such a very short while?

There is, of course, the obligatory face-off between Jenny and Tyler who at this stage insinuates that he has had deep feelings for her but there is a nice unexpected twist and maybe not the ending you might think.

There is a certain amount of chemistry between Jenny and Tyler although not in spades but she only suddenly decides she has had feelings for him all along after he also has apparently had enough of her.

I don't really buy it.

I personally find the movie superficial and much as I have great admiration for Reel One movies which are generally family-friendly and of a pleasing standard this for me is not one of their better offerings.

Florence's rating - 4

Written in the Stars

Original UPtv Air Date: June 11, 2023

Note #1: This movie previously premiered on the BYU-TV network. This will be the first time this film from Incendo Productions will air on the UPtv channel.

Note #2: Much of the movie, based on the storyline we are provided (see below), appears to revolve around the study of horoscopes and astrology. Due to that content, I will not be promoting this film, but I wanted to be sure you all were aware.

Storyline: When Kelsey's magazine approves her pitch about a skeptic's take on love and horoscopes, she is teamed up with Astrology guru, Carter. Clearly from opposite worlds, they put their competing perspectives aside to work the story around a local meteor shower festival. Through both fact and fate, they soon unearth that love really can be written in the stars.

The Secret Sauce

Original UPtv Air Date: June 18, 2023

Note: This movie previously premiered on the BYU-TV network. This will be the first time this film from Incendo Productions will air on the UPtv channel.

Storyline: Marketing executive Laura is sent to oversee a small-town cook-off and entice Jim, the local barbecue restaurant owner, to let her license his family's secret BBQ sauce. While Laura struggles with small-town life, and while Jim resists the idea of joining forces with a large business, the two soon discover how well their differences work together. With a dash of trust and a splash of kindness, Jim and Laura’s friendship slowly marinates into something much sweeter.

Movie Reviews:

🍲🍔 "The Secret Sauce is family-friendly, delightful, and light-hearted. The small-town community feel is heartwarming. Overall, the storyline is fairly straightforward and easy-going, with no major plot twists or surprises. I enjoyed both leads, Tori Anderson and Corey Sevier, and their chemistry was just as sweet as the sauce! Marketing executive Laura Glickman (Tori Anderson) comes from the big city of Chicago to the mid-west to persuade the laid-back, set-in-his-ways, Jim Covell (Corey Sevier) into selling the recipe for his secret sauce. Course, their relationship may become more than mere business. I enjoyed this charming movie, and I hope you will, too! Fair warning: It might induce you to fire up the BBQ!" ~Net

🍲🍔 "I watched and recorded The Secret Sauce on 12/29/2021 and loved it!" ~Namegirl
