"The Perfect Summer" - Premieres on UP network

MOVIE REVIEW

The Perfect Summer

Network: UP

(this channel was previously known as GMC)

Original Air Date: July 13, 2013

CAST:

Eric Roberts ... Lou
Sydney Penny ... Alyssa
Katie Garfield ... Kayla
Adam Horner ... Jake
Jason Castro ... Cody
Paul Shaplin ... Actor
J.D. Banks
Justin Barnhill

 

PLOT:

A somewhat nerdy highs school senior who spends all his time on his computer decides to learn to surf to capture the attention of a gorgeous surfer girl who moves next door.

More from UP:

In The Perfect Summer, fatherless teenager Jake (Adam Horner) was happy living in Chicago, until his mother (Sydney Penny) decided to uproot them to a small surfing town where her estranged father (Eric Roberts), Jake’s grandfather, lives. The transition isn’t easy for anyone and it seems everywhere he goes, Jake manages to make enemies, including the town bully, Tyler (JD Banks), who doesn’t like the new interloper or his interest in young surfing prodigy, Kayla (Katie Garfield).

Stuck in the beach town with no friends and no knowledge of surfing, Jake has nowhere to turn until Cody (Jason Castro), the local surf shop owner, reveals that Jake’s grandfather is a surf legend. Tired of feeling like an outcast, Jake asks Lou to teach him about surfing. Jake learns to face his fears, push through inhibitions and realizes that winning the respect of his new peers – and Katie’s heart – might mean facing the biggest challenge of his life.

Guess Who's Coming to Christmas - UP Christmas Movie

MOVIE REVIEW


Guess Who's Coming to Christmas

Previously Titled: Jingle Bell Rock


Network: UP
(previously known as: GMC)

Original Air Date: December 8, 2013

CAST:

Drew Lachey
Mackenzie Porter

PLOT:

A jaded rock star, in order to repair his tarnished image, publicly agrees to fulfill a kid's Dear Santa Christmas wish. To his dismay, he ends up agreeing to spend the holidays in small town America and performing in the local holiday Christmas concert. He's mortified at the prospect of staying in the home of an idyllic, close-knit family but soon realizes the true value in what they have – love, caring and a memorable holiday spirit.

from UP-TV:

Jaded rock star Dax is found by New York paparazzi passed out in his car with a frozen holiday turkey in the passenger seat. In order to repair his tarnished image, Dax publicly agrees to grant a fan's "Dear Santa" Christmas wish. To his dismay, his manager Jason drops Dax off in Cedar Grove, a Midwest small town, where he's committed to spend a week and perform in a local holiday Christmas concert. At first, Dax is horrified to be stuck in the Reverend Harding family's home with strict rules and a curfew. But he soon becomes charmed by the Reverend's wife Lynne, teenage son Tim and very surprised contest winner and daughter Kelly, a sassy, unemployed book jacket writer. Dax begins to appreciate what the Hardings have as a family – love, caring and an uplifting holiday spirit. The movie features an original musical duet by Lachey and Porter, entitled "You."

More...

Drew Lachey plays a jaded rock star determined to restore his image by fulfilling a kid’s Christmas wish. But things go south, or in this case north, when the wish means he’s supposed to perform at a small town Christmas concert.

The movie also stars country singer-actress Mackenzie Porter as Lachey’s love interest.
