His and Hers

Premieres: September 7, 2024

Starring: Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott

Storyline: Married couple Dana (Chabert) and Mark (Elliott) are high-powered lawyers at two separate New York City law firms. They soon find themselves on opposing sides of a messy divorce between two reality stars, Sammy and Brett. When both clients are unable to compromise, Dana and Mark are headed for a courtroom showdown that results in tensions infiltrating their otherwise happy household.


Movie Reviews:

🍁 His and Hers - As I expected, His and Hers is definitely the best Hallmark non Christmas movie I've seen this year! (hope you were also swooning at those hidden Hallmark related Easter Eggs!). –Maria

🍁 His and Hers Review…

They knew what we wanted and gave it to us!!! Dana and Mark were Brian and Jenny all over again!!

First let me say family friendly, funny and had those aww moments, especially the end, but I not spoil it for you!

This was a treat. When I found out they were going against each other I had my doubts, but the married characters Dana and Mark made it very clear that on this case they were a team. And they were!! And I really appreciated that they both encouraged their clients to stay married if possible.

There were a lot of former movie hints as well. We had the country house with goats in Connecticut scene(All of My Heart), Dana was previously married to a Will Kemp, and the Crossword Mystery hint they did with Dana solving a crossword puzzle, writing in the name Logan. Those could not be a coincidence. So much fun.

Lacey and Brennan have this incredible chemistry whenever they are in a movie together. I loved and really enjoyed watching them again!! ~Abigail

🍁 His and Hers - Abigail, I was going to write a long review for this movie, but you said everything I was going to say and then some! This is a real winner, with the usual great chemistry between Lacey and Brennan, and I got a great kick out of the references to their earlier movies together. So enjoyable from start to finish! ~Mark 25

🍁 His and Hers - Abigail, I decided to reply, to your posting, instead of just posting my review separately. Oh my gosh! I agree with you wholeheartedly! This movie was a treat! I don't understand why several reviews, on IMDB, were not kind. My husband and I really enjoyed 'His & Hers'. We got a kick out of all of the Easter eggs, sprinkled throughout. I chuckled when I saw Lacey's background check. I liked how Brennan said 'He loved her with All of my Heart'. Including Logan as a clue in the crossword puzzle, was priceless. The references to baby goats was cool. And, yes, the ending was so sweet! We too said 'aww' out loud. I thought Lacey and Brennan looked fantastic. Time has been good to both of them. And, I too, thought they had fantastic chemistry. They work as a married couple. Very believable. I have to admit, it has been awhile since I enjoyed two new movies in one weekend. :-) ~Joan

🍁 His & Hers –

My verdict is in!

I’m in total agreement with all of the previous reviewers who expressed how wonderful it was to see Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott together again and their natural, easy chemistry on screen.

Lacey and Brennan truly felt like a mature married couple; everything about their story as happily married lawyers, Dana and Mark, seemed plausibly real and authentic.

Since they are lawyers at different firms, they unexpectedly find themselves defending a reality star couple, Tabby and Brett, who are going through a public breakup and divorce. Both Tabby and Brett are both rather annoying and outlandish, but it’s obviously part of their character and celebrity persona.

Like others have mentioned, the little hints and nods Lacey and Brennan include in this story to their previous movies are all so cute and clever. Whoever decided to include those is very creative.

Overall, “His & Hers” is truly a delightful watch! That’s my judgment. ~Net

The Heiress and the Handyman

Please note: The premiere date shown in the images above is the date "The Heiress and the Handyman" will first premiere on the streaming service, Hallmark Movies Now.

Movie Reviews:

🍁 The Heiress and the Handyman supposidly has a gay person in it. Just in case anyone was curious. -Maria

🍁 I watched The Heiress and the Handyman on HMN, the guy who plays Jodie Sweetin’s assistant does have mannerism of a gay man, but nothing is ever said about it. He appears twice for a total of about 3 minutes, at the beginning & end.

The movie is okay, but the story has been done. Think Harvest Moon, but this movie isn’t nearly as good. It felt cheesy somehow and Jodie’s acting felt stiff, kind of fake. It’s a one time watch for me. ~Allie B

🍁 Heiress & Handyman was really cute. It compares well with UPTV type of movies. The "gay" assistant...nothing was ever said clarifying he was gay. The movie needed more, but was worth a watch for the pig & animal scenes alone. It feels very traditional with hints of Harvest Moon, but not as comedic unfortunately. It's not a bad watch at all & is actually fall themed. I didn't even notice the wig people seem to be obsessing over. –Megan

As the two spend time together while Natalie continues her quest to win over her neighbors, she and Mark become close and a spark begins to grow. But just when it looks like building harmony has been restored, things unexpectedly unravel. Disheartened, Natalie focuses her time and energy on the Walk which just may be the path to healing and happily ever after.

  1. His and Hers is at this moment a must watch for me (because I adore those 2 so much when they work together!), the other 2? I'll consider, but given that both have woke actors whose recent movies included woke content, I'm considering waiting until I know for sure they are clean. (and that last one? Is the book itself clean?). -Maria

    1. Hi, Maria! Yes, the book is clean. :)

    2. Thanks, that really helps! -Maria

    3. After Jodie Sweetin defended the opening Olympics Ceremony. I would never watch anything with her in it again. I don't watch Hallmark anymore because they always slip in a woke message.

      Delete
    4. I Won't be watching Jodie Sweetin's movie either for the same reason Ken. I'll try His and Hers.

      Delete
    5. Jodie’s plot sounds good, but not interested because since she’s so liberal in supporting LGTBQ issues.

      I want to watch Erin Cahill’s movie. I love her and Wes Brown.

      As for the mysteries.. no for anything staring Paul Campbell(the Ashley Williams too), I’ll probably watch the Hannah Swensen, though I’m not happy in the direction it’s going.

      I am excited to see Lacey and Elliot together again. This is my all time favorite pair! I always think of them as Jenny and Brian. Hahaha 🥰

  2. This year seems to have flown by, and I can't believe that this is our last movie drop before Countdown to Christmas!

    I am very much looking forward to Autumn on Apple Hill, and I can't wait to find out what the other three fall premieres will turn out to be!

    1. thank you Christina! There was a misprint in the first article that came out. It is the same title as the book, Autumn at Apple Hill. So glad, as that one word difference made it harder for me to promote the book and the movie with different hashtags. LOL. I hope you enjoy it! It has fall feels abound. There are differences of course, but both should be relaxing fun.

  3. I am so over this triple digit weather in CA and looking forward to fall, although our fall still has 90 degree weather 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I will live vicariously through all of the pumpkin photos.

  4. What fall movies are you looking forward seeing

  5. I can't wait for Autumn on Apple Hill (the film adaptation of my book, Autumn at Apple Hill). I adore Erin & Wes! All of these look great. This one I can assure you will have fall feels with apples, pumpkins, & cozy sweaters.

    1. Angie, Congrats on your book being made into a Hallmark movie! I really like the title - as it gives just the right feels of the Autumn Season.

      I will look forward to learning more about it. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us! :)

    2. Hi Net! There was a misprint from the First for Women article. The title is in fact, the same as the book, Autumn at Apple Hill. This has been confirmed by Hallmark.

      Delete
    3. Angie, Thank you so much for making me aware of this error from the original article; I have corrected the title above. I'm glad Hallmark kept the same title for you from your book. I'm sure that makes it a whole lot easier.

      I also noticed in the second announcement from Parade, that they misspelled Hannah Swensen. In their article, which may be fixed now, it is spelled "A Sprinkle of Deceit: A Hannah Swemson Mystery."

      Those things happen to us all, but I'm glad to get this fixed for you! :)

      Blessings on your day! Net

    4. Haha. Typos happen.

  6. Theme-wise is sounds like lots of falling leaves and divorce.

  8. These all sound good, except Haunted Wedding. I’m sorry, but we won’t be watching a movie with a poltergeist. Christie

    1. the wording wasn't the best choice. It will be comedic. I believe it was due to the soaring live viewership last Oct of 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost. This is for the Halloween fans I think. I know some won't watch Halloween, but as long as it's done in a fun way & not a sci-fi way like a horror flick, I'm definitely watching. I'm most excited for Autumn at Apple Hill. It gives me a classic Hallmark vibe with two great actors. I love Wes Brown especially! -Megan

    2. It’s a hard pass for me too on the poltergeist movie. No thanks.

      Ghosts aren’t fun, they are evil.

      Delete
    3. It’s a paranormal activity - Ghost Hunters & Haunted Collector

  9. The Real West

    Kimberley Sustad and Luca Bryant is a great pairing but I don't understand what this means:

    "Rebecca is a widower chasing tenure and Jake is a handsome cowboy who never settled down."

    Is Rebecca a widow or is this some sort of job description?

    I am going to be furious if Lucas Bryant is yet again involved in a movie where one of the leads has been previously married.

    I think since Tulips In Spring there's only been one movie where he wasn't - it's just not fair. - Florence

    1. she's a widow---who happens to be chasing tenure at her job...:)

  10. I love Lacey and Brennan together so I’ll be watching that one, pass on Jodie as I don’t really enjoy her as an actress, and I’ll also be passing on the ghost movie. Falling Together, The Real West and Autumn on Apple Hill all sound great to me. I am so surprised that of all the new mystery movies, they chose to make a second one of Cases of Mystery Lane. I felt the couple had no chemistry together and I just feel there were so many other mysteries they could have continued with, like Cut Color Murder or Dancing Detective or Nikki & Nora. I’m appreciate them continuing Murder She Baked though, so I’ll be tuning j to that.

    2. The Mystery movies are somewhat creepy!!!!!

  11. No mysteries for me tired of them taking off the really good ones, however looking forward to the fall rom coms but not Jodi, she’s too political for me!
    Can’t wait to see Brennen and Lacey together again! ~Susan Ann

  12. Based on the 2 previews I've seen (and observing how closely 2 men are to each other), I'm completely expecting Falling Together to be dirty. Just in case I'm (unfortunately) right, here's my early review:

    I find it completely disgusting and immoral to promote gays in a movie that is only supposed to be promoting an important cause, and both actors should be ashamed of themselves for allowing immortality in what is supposed to be an inspiring movie for everyone and their families to see! -Maria

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I don’t think we should get in the habit of reviewing movies before they come out. Labeling a movie disgusting and immoral before watching it or having a clear understanding of the content is an unfair rush to judgment.

      Delete
    2. Most of the time that makes sense, but I think many are already cautious about this particular movie due to the actors involved.

      Delete
  13. Hello Net, I noticed that some movies weren't added, Love on the Danube and The Jane Mysteries. Thank you.

    1. The movies you mentioned are currently only playing on Hallmark's streaming service, Hallmark+ (formerly Hallmark Movies Now).

      I'm only featuring, for now, the new movies playing on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery.

      However, I do have some information on the movies you mentioned here:
