This...I'm totally obsessed with Mixed Baggage.<br /><br />This movie needs to be watched more than once - I keep discovering new little things each time.<br /><br />My first impressions of Jake were a bit off, he doesn't really have an inferiority complex he's really just a bit awkward and anxious with women but then has no trouble making his move.<br /><br />The movie is cleverly scripted with an amazing number of co-incidences and I am really in awe of the acting considering the actors are probably not even B list let alone A.<br /><br />I'm even chuckling in advance of things happening now!<br /><br />Really love the scene in a shpping centre car park where Jake unburdens himself to a random stranger.<br /><br />Whever Evie turns up at the opening of J O R Worhshop I let out a big cheer.<br /><br />I'd like to see Hallmark give Spencer Lord a try out.<br /><br />This is right up there in my all-time favourites movie list.<br /><br />Just a pity that the biggest station it has been aired on to date is UPtv everyone really deserves a chance to see this - FlorenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-62862268575205475872023-04-26T17:55:20.546-04:002023-04-26T17:55:20.546-04:00MIXED BAGGAGE

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<br /><br />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<br /> <br />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<br />Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-45084172490170973092023-03-01T13:14:54.759-05:002023-03-01T13:14:54.759-05:00I did see The Holiday Swap, and I can see how the ...I did see The Holiday Swap, and I can see how the two could be very similar with their storylines.

I checked Pixl's schedule, and it looks like they played it two or three times already this week, with another showing on Sunday night at 6pm ET. So, if anyone here has that channel they can check it again at that time.<br /><br />By the way, I feel the same way about proposals and such. A similar thing you mentioned happened in two other UPtv movies: Christmas in Wolf Creek and Christmas on the Slopes.<br /><br />It was so nice to hear how you enjoyed the lead couple in Mixed Baggage.
