Movie Reviews:
🎬 What a disappointment! Once again Hallmark ruined a perfectly good movie , the Barcelona movie, by introducing a gay attraction. Don’t know what happened after that because I switched channels. ~Anonymous
🎬 Another Ashley Williams NOT family friendly movie. Totally unnecessary. ~JoCo
🎬 I hope all is well with you. My husband and I watched "To Barcelona, with Love" last night. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about it. I adore Alison and Ashley. They both did a good job in the movie. Bonus points for a different storyline (with regard to Alison and Ashley only) and for a gorgeous location. And, I thought Alison and Ashley's friendship was sweet and believable.
*** Spoiler Alert ** However, there were several things that bothered me. There was a same-sex storyline that disappointed me. Why?? And, I did not think Nico had chemistry with either one of the female leads. Seriously, I felt Alison and Ashley had better chemistry. I don't think I will watch the second installment. ~Joan
🎬 About the 45-50 minute mark in To Barcelona With Love, I deleted it. There is a same sex side couple who meet and it's very obvious this is no longer family friendly. Very disappointed but with Ashley Williams and Alison Sweeny I was leery of this movie and had my guard up. Sad as it was a fresher story. ~Anonymous
To Barcelona, Forever
Starring: Alison Sweeney and Ashley Williams
Premiere Date: June 14, 2025

However, when Luciana’s friend, Chef Carlos (Alec Santos), arrives, he accidentally ruins each proposal attempt. Refusing to give up, Katie does everything in her power to make this proposal happen, until Dan calls it off.

I think Kevin is in Rome!!!
ReplyDeleteI can’t say these types of movies have been my favorite, but I’m excited to see Kevin McGarry’s name attached to one of them. Christie
ReplyDeleteI'll reserve judgement on these.
ReplyDeleteLast year's Passport To Love movies were decidedly mediocre.
A Machu Picchu Proposal looks good on paper but while I like both Eloise Mumford and Kevin McGarry I'm not at all sure they're a good match.
With the Sweeney/ Williams movies you'd have to think there might be some family-unfriendly content - Florence
I saw on HM Mystery that the once week long Gold Crown Christmas looks like it is only 2 days now, the weekend of June 21st. Don't they know some of us like that 1 full week, of movies we do not see much anymore???? That is what I look forward to, not all their post 2019 crappy movies. Mystery channel at least played some of the good older movies. And now that special week has been reduced to 2 days?????

Beautiful post
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Ashley & Kimberly have 2 movies together in Barcelona
ReplyDeleteIn the movie "Passport to Love," the villa is called "Villa Amore" and is located in Italy. The characters, Kevin & Eloise, are the main protagonists in the romantic comedy, as mentioned in the title you provided. The movie follows their journey as they navigate a misunderstanding about a romantic getaway, according to a review on PureFlix
ReplyDeleteOkay the Sweeney and Williams one looks promising, like if the first one is good then I am excited for the second one, I enjoy movies like that that have a sequel to continue the story. The mystery one I am kinda bummed….while I appreciate them continuing to make mystery movies (those are some of my faves) I do not care much for the Mystery Island ones. For some reason they confuse me and I am usually lost by the end 🤦🏻♀️😂

I have high hopes for these movies.
ReplyDeleteW.hat a disappointment! Once again Hallmark ruined a perfectly good movie , the Barcelona movie, by introducing a gay attraction. Don’t know what happened after that because I switched channels.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and I started to watch the To Barcelona With Love movie and turned it off partway through when it appeared that there was a romantic relationship forming between two men (one being a friend of Allyson Sweeney's character). Just a heads up for others who don't want to support that. It's sad because I was really looking forward to the Hannah Swenson movie and now I don't know if I want to watch it.
ReplyDeleteyou may have been disappointed in the first Barcelona with the Alison/Ashley pairing, But the 2nd Barcelona Forever was great, steeped in beautiful tradition, very unexpected storylines in one, give it a look, forget the first Barcelona movie, watch the 2nd I'm sure it will not disappoint, no spoiler from me i enjoyed it immensely compared to the first
