🎃 Visit the Pumpkin Patch in "Home for Harvest" and see 4 New TV Movie Premieres This Weekend! 🍃🍂 #AutumnHarvest #FallIntoLove 🎃 SEE HERE:

Hello Friends,

It's the first weekend in October... the season of pumpkin patches, Autumn harvest, leaves turning, flannel shirts and blankets, campfires and s'mores, and so much more. For those of us, who experience the season in all of it's colorful splendor, it is such a beautiful time of year.

Unfortunately, for our friends in Florida and the islands nearby, it's also the season for hurricanes; plus, storms are moving along the Carolinas and up the eastern coast. I pray all of you who visit here at It's a Wonderful Movie are safe and your homes did not suffer any damage. Please know you are continually in our thoughts and prayers. 

I hope many of you will be able to relax after the storm has fully passed and enjoy the new movies airing this weekend. Blessings to you all!

See details on the four new movies below...

My #1 Movie Pick this weekend is "Home for Harvest" on Great American Family. I especially love how it is fall-themed. Can't wait to see this one! Even though it's been available to stream for awhile, it's one I just hadn't caught, yet. So... I'm looking forward to finally doing so this weekend.

We also have this delightful review from Abigail, a regular reviewer here at It's a Wonderful Movie...

🍁 "Home for Harvest is family friendly. I saw it a couple years ago and just last loved it! ...Finally time for pumpkins!😍 God bless!" ~Abigail

Florence, who also contributes wonderful reviews, provided her thoughts on UPtv's "A Country Romance." See her review here!

I also wanted to share, that I am intrigued by the new mystery, Nikki & Nora: Sister Sleuths; however, I wanted to caution that several press images show the characters drinking in a bar setting. I just wanted to be sure you all were aware before watching.

There are only 3 episodes left of Chesapeake Shores. If you'd like to see details on this weekend's episode, titled: I Get a Kick Out of You, then click here.

Disclaimer: Please know when I share a movie, this is NOT an endorsement of any of the actors involved, personally or professionally, with their other TV/film projects.

Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies airing this weekend. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments. Thank you to both Abigail and Florence for sharing reviews!

Happy Fall and Blessings to you all!

Please take care, everyone...

🍁 "Cider and Sunsets is a family friendly story. I liked the country feel and apple ochard. Such a wonderful supporting cast, especially the older couple who invite Marley to stay with them. They were so refreshing and fun. I wish there had been more chemistry between the leads, but it was still a very sweet movie." ~Net

🍁 "Cider & Sunsets - I watched it this weekend and I really enjoyed it! I don’t recall seeing the leads in anything before but their connection was believable & the conversations they had in the orchard were nice, not just superficial stuff. Of course I loved the scenery and the orchard but my favorite might just be the couple Peter and Yvonne, they were so cute scheming trying to get the leads to meet up and hang out. I have seen Mary Long in a couple other movies and always love watching her." ~Paula

My *Quick* Take:

It's nice to see two of these movies are NEW Premieres from Reel One Entertainment, A Royal Seaside Romance (previous title: Home for a Royal Heart) and How to Find Forever. Hopefully, we'll see even more new movies from this production company on Great American Family at Christmastime.

And, it's great to see some of these movies are fall-themed!
