Unwrapping Christmas: Mia's Prince

Storyline: Mia’s life takes a fairytale turn when she meets Beau, a man straight out of her favorite romance novel. As they navigate the ups and downs of love, a meddling mother attempts to thwart their happily ever after.

Movie Reviews:

🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Mia's Prince is clean and so heartfelt and romantic! –Maria

🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Mia’s Prince - The second movie in the series is just as sweet and charming as the first. This time, the spotlight is on Mia, played by Kathryn Davis, who is an avid reader and hopeless romantic. Watching her fairytale dreams begin to unfold is both delightful and heartwarming. As the group of friends work together to plan the town’s upcoming Christmas gala, their friendship grows stronger, and the event turns into a joyful success. ~Net

Movie Reminder: See "Love Knots" on BYU this Thursday!

Get ready to set sail!

Thought I would share a quick reminder that the movie "Love Knots," from Incendo Productions, will be airing Thursday, January 27th, on BYU at 1pm/12c. It was originally scheduled to air on January 1st, but did not. Since then, it has been available, however, to watch online on BYU's web-site - here or through BYU's app.

If watching on-line or through the app doesn't work well for you, then hopefully you can watch it live or record it on BYU - on Thursday afternoon. See more details about the movie - here!

*Note: BYUtv typically plays G-rated type films; plus, an anonymous reviewer shared that it is family-friendly. If you've seen it, please feel free to share a review with us.

Happy watching! Net

New TV Movie Premieres on BYU before 2022!

The first movie listed below is "Sweet as Maple Syrup". I happened to catch it midway through 2 days before Christmas day on December 23rd. After a kick search, I learned that BYU changed their schedule on Christmas week to include this movie. I was rather bummed that I missed it and the opportunity to share it with all of you. (UPDATE: See encore air date and time below!) However, I have good news... this movie is currently available to stream through BYUtv's web-site - here or through BYU's app!

BYU will also premiere "The Secret Sauce", (also from Incendo Productions) on Wednesday, December 29th at 1pm EST. You can see it via streaming - here!

See details for both movies below.

***************************

Movie: Sweet as Maple Syrup

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: December 23, 2021 at 1pm/12c.

Encore Air Date: April 30, 2022 at 6pm/5c. and 2am/1c.

Starring: Brooke Nevin and Carlo Marks

Storyline via BYU:
Desperate to save her family’s maple orchard, Rachelle enlists the help of Derek, a tree scientist. With the Maple Syrup Festival coming up quickly, Rachelle and Derek must work together to get her maple trees back to their former glory. A charming family-friendly romance, Sweet as Maple Syrup champions the virtues of hard work, science, and community-mindedness.


Review:

🌳"Just watched it and I have to say it was a fun one. Family friendly and the chemistry was great. Hope this helps!" ~Heidi Joy


🌳"SWEET AS MAPLE SYRUP "Food" related themes seem to be very popular at the moment and there have even been a couple of other movies with Maple Syrup centre stage. This is another winning showcase from Incendo (it is, of course, family-friendly). A very large part if this is due to the lead actors Brooke Nevin (I wonder why Hallmark have never taken her up?) and Carlo Marks - Rachelle and Derek. Both were excellent in their parts and there was wonderful chemistry between them. Although Derek was a professor and bookish there was nothing boring about him. You had a good idea how the plot would work out but their on-screen presence kept things refreshingly interesting. It was nice to see how romance developed between them from the initial antagonism to the gradual warming and eventually deeper feelings. There was a nice comedy line as Rachelle tried to avoid the match-making tactics of a local doyenne. I also liked Rachelle's brother who was a partner in the business. Knowing how these Rom.Coms usually go I was actually surprised that they didn't introduce a love interest for him - I was actually fully expecting something to develop between him and Rachelle's best friend - although there was a little twist on this at the end. Overall this a delightful, heartwarming movie which I think would appeal to most members here." Forence's rating - 8.


🌳"Sweet as Maple S ok but very predictable." ~JoCo

********************************

Movie: The Secret Sauce

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: December 29, 2021 at 1pm/12c.

Starring: Tori Anderson and Corey Sevier

Storyline via BYU:
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.


Review:

🍲🍔 "The Secret Sauce is family-friendly, delightful and light-hearted. The small town community feel is heartwarming. Overall, the storyline is fairly straight-forward 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 to 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

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: As Gouda As It Gets

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: May 12, 2021 at 1pm/12c.

Starring: Kim Shaw and Clayton James

Storyline: Brie Belanger is the maître fromager and owner of Brie’s Cheese, a cute artisan cheese shop located in picturesque Vermont. Looking to boost her business presence and sales, the town’s annual Cheese Festival arrives just in time with a $50,000 first-place prize. Up against her biggest competitor, Brie’s vintage smoked gouda is considered a frontrunner-so much so that Jacob Wolfe, a former chef and influential cheese blogger, approaches about profiling her delectable creation, leading their friendship to take a turn for romance. Complications arise when Matt Lambert, the handsome and charismatic new CEO of Lambert Farms (and Brie’s largest competitor) starts to show his interest in acquiring her shop. Racing against the clock and a disastrous power failure, Brie and Jacob must recreate a prize-worthy entry if she has any hope of keeping her shop and potentially winning more than she initially hoped for.

"You May Kiss the Bridesmaid" - starring Tori Anderson and Kristopher Turner on BYUtv! DETAILS HERE:

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: You May Kiss the Bridesmaid

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: May 5, 2021 at 1pm EST.

Starring: Tori Anderson and Kristopher Turner

Storyline: Food influencer Scarlett Bailey is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime to work as a pastry chef in one of New York City’s top restaurants. Her life gets put on hold when she returns to her hometown for her sister Maddie’s wedding. Scarlett learns that her parents have sold the family home, a B&B, to her childhood flame Liam Perry and that Maddie has lost her wedding venue days before the nuptials. Scarlett suggests they host the event at the B&B and works with Liam to pull off the wedding of Maddie’s dreams, trying to put their history behind them. As her dream job in NYC becomes a firm offer, Scarlett is forced to make a decision. She has been falling back in love with Liam and with her childhood home. With the countdown to the wedding day on, will Liam Perry get to kiss the bridesmaid?


Review:

🌹 "There's something special about a first love. When Scarlett Bailey returns home for her sister’s wedding, she’s in for a few surprises. First, her parents run a B&B and they’ve recently sold it to her old boyfriend, Liam Perry. And another surprise – her sister’s original wedding venue is ruined, so Scarlet insists on helping out and encourages her sister and her parents to move the wedding outside at the B&B, which means they’ve all got a lot of work to do, including Liam, who will be taking over as the new owner very soon. In the meantime, Scarlett is making cooking videos and auditioning for a pastry chef position in New York. However, her nostalgic spirit is enjoying being home and possibly falling for Liam all over again. But, she has the usual problem – of trying to decide between the big city and small town life. Which way will she decide? Plus, she has a boyfriend in the city – who’s more about climbing the social ladder then spending quality time together. The setting at the country inn is beautiful and the chemistry between the leads is kind of low key, but still very sweet. One major movie error that baffled me and my family – when the sister actually gets married, the father who is incredibly giving and part of the entire wedding planning, building the wedding arch, etc… does NOT walk his daughter down the aisle. She walks all alone, by herself. Very strange. He is, instead, sitting on the front row with the mother. I’m not sure why they would do this, but we thought it was beyond peculiar – a huge miss. It just seemed like a standard wedding tradition that should be included. Overall, You May Kiss the Bridesmaid was a bit predictable; however, it was an enjoyable watch, lighthearted and completely family friendly." ~Net

🌹 "I watched You May Kiss the Bridesmaid. Agree with Net that it was a sweet (and predictable) movie with a rather low-key romance. One thing that I loved was the beautiful setting. And as a former florist and wedding/party planner I really appreciated all the decorations; they seemed realistic whereas a lot of Hallmark movies seem very overdone and fake to me. Cute little family friendly movie!" ~~Jane


🌹 "These BYUtv movies are a real bonus - they all seem to be family friendly and highly enjoyable. This one already had a head start with me as my very favourite plot is that of former loves reunited! There really was nothing new to this, as Scarlett trying to decide on whether to take up a new job in New York comes home for her sister's wedding to find it is in danger of being cancelled and her parents have sold their inn to her old school boyfriend. The film follows their progress as they team up to try and get the wedding re-arranged in the grounds of the B&B and I must say the scenery is lovely. It is pretty obvious from the start that Liam is carrying a torch for Scarlett but her principles means she won't "cheat" on her current boyfriend who is really more interested in advancing his career. I would agree that the romance is low key but there's just something so sweet and warm about it that I found appealing. I was certain that I recognised Kristopher Turner although my husband didn't but when I checked up it turned out he had starred in an old Hallmark movie Love By The Book - I can't remember much about it so it didn't seem to have made much impression on me! These BYUtv film actors seem to have found the secret of eternal youth. In One Of A Kind Love the hero barely looked out of his teens but when I checked up he was 29! Here Liam didn't look very old but I was stunned to discover he was actually born in 1980. The ending was kind of weird - Scarlett realised her true love was Liam and broke off with her boyfrind. When she told Liam of her true feelings a great smile spread across his face, he caressed her hands and they walked off to participate in her sister's wedding. During this they kept giving each other goofy smiles, then at the reception later that night Scarlett walks over to liam they say "hey" and he asks if he can kiss her. It lasts all of 2 seconds and they walk off hand in hand back to the reception - decidedly odd - that apart though they made it clear the path their future lives would take and I do like the i's dotted and the t's crossed! But there was something about this movie which just touched me - this and Hearts Down Under are my two favourite movies to date this year - interestingly neither of them are Hallmark (I know Hearts Down Under was shown on Hallmark but it was bought from Netflix in Australia)." ~ Florence

"A Love Yarn" - starring Anna Hutchison and Simon Arblaster on BYUtv! DETAILS HERE:

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: A Love Yarn

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: April 23, 2021

PLEASE NOTE: The premiere date for this movie has passed; however, if I see an encore airing - I will be certain to share.

WATCH HERE: If you would like to see this movie today, you can watch it via VOD online - here.

REVIEW: "A Love Yarn" is family friendly and delightful - see my full movie review below...

Starring: Anna Hutchison and Simon Arblaster

Storyline: The owner of a quaint New Zealand yarn shop, Sophie Dale, gets her world flipped upside down after learning her top supplier of yarn, King Farms, is stopping production. Much to her surprise, the charming yet stuck-in-his-ways Samuel King has traveled all the way from New York to audit the business model of the farm. Desperate to keep her shop going, Sophie convinces Samuel to give her two weeks to learn the ropes of yarn spinning and raise enough money to buy the mill herself. With Samuel’s help, Sophie comes up with a fundraising plan to host a “knit-off” and auction at the local makers market. However, when the two weeks come to an end Sophie finds herself at the crossroads of business and romance. Could she have misinterpreted Samuels growing romantic interest in her as just business all along?


Movie Review: "The setting of this story is in New Zealand - and the countryside there is absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking! The owner of the local yarn shop, Sophie, is quite likeable; she's an American who inherited the shop from her late Grandmother. Sophie brings many people of the town together to knit and enjoy time sharing, along with her best friend, Rose, who is a lot of fun. Everything seems tranquil for Sophie, until she knits a sweater for her boyfriend, Chris. Everyone in the knitting group teases that "it's the curse of the knitted sweater" and they predict in a joking way that she and Chris will surely break up. They actually do, but Sophie has more important things to worry about - she must save the local mill where she gets her yarn and convince the owner's handsome son, Samuel King, who is visiting from New York, to sell it to her before he leaves. The lambs in the movie are all sooo adorable - you'll instantly fall in love with them. At times, the movie can be a bit predictable and cheesy, but it's still a sweet family friendly story, and I personally enjoyed watching it. Even the knitted sweater gets redemption in the end. If you know someone who likes knitting, then this is most definitely THE MOVIE for them." ~Net
