This Weekend on Hallmark: It's the Return of "Wedding March" & "Chesapeake Shores" + a New Rom-Com on UP! SEE HERE:

With Mick and Olivia in Wedding March and the O'Brien family in Chesapeake Shores, this weekend's new premieres on the Hallmark Channel are like welcoming back old friends. Hopefully, we will enjoy where these stories go. I do believe it will be nice to finally see the wedding we've all waited for in the Wedding March series, and I have a feeling there will be lots of emotion in season 5 of Chesapeake Shores, as we've been used to seeing.

Plus, Erin Cahill and Marcus Rosner (two more familiar faces) will star together in a new movie on UPtv.

Get all the details of these new premieres below...


Saturday, August 14, 2021:

But when the low-key celebration morphs into an event that’s anything but that, they have to quickly pivot to pull it off. Meanwhile, when Mick gets an exciting opportunity Olivia won’t let him turn down, they’re faced with delaying their own nuptials until a last-minute change in plans gives both couples the weddings of their dreams.

I'm looking forward to watching both of the new movies this weekend. As far as Chesapeake Shores, I still don't know how I feel about Jesse Metcalfe leaving. I'll probably watch just to see how things go. Kevin (Brendan Penny) and Sarah (Jessica Sipos) are my favorite couple; I'm looking forward to seeing them together since they were married.

Love Stories in Sunflower Valley

Original Air Date: August 15, 2021

Reviews:

🌞 "I saw this on YouTube. It was ok. Lovely area they filmed it at though!" ~Misty

🌞 "I'm not a big Erin Cahill fan but I think most here should enjoy this. I won't say anything in advance but can confirm that it is family friendly." ~Florence

🌞 "I thought this movie was very sweet and family friendly. It made me want to visit Sunflower Valley and have a picnic and take a bicycle ride. Erin Cahill's character Kate is assisting Drew Hutton (Marcus Rosner) with his story on Olivia, a romantic matchmaker, who brought together numerous couples in Sunflower Valley. Drew is not necessarily a skeptic when it comes to love, be he fears falling in love and losing that love, as his father did. Kate, on the other hand, is overly optimistic when it comes to matters of the heart and may end up convincing Drew, as well. Kate's parents are a fun addition to the story, as well as all the couples they interview for the Love Stories in Sunflower Valley article. This is an easy-going, lighthearted story in a lovely country setting." ~Net

🌞 "I really enjoyed UPtv's "Love Stories in Sunflower Valley" It was a very sweet movie. I really liked Erin Cahill and Marcus Rosner. The lead characters helped each other grow as a person and of course they fell in love." ~Namegirl

🌞 "I just watched Love Stories in Sunflower Valley last week. I would highly recommend it. Loved everything about it, Drew's politeness to Kate's sweet parents, all the couples telling their stories of how Olivia matched them, the kindness Drew shows to Kate at the mid-end, and of course the many, many sunflowers EVERYWHERE in the small town. I really enjoyed it. Loved Erin and Marcus together. Planning to watch the Unveiled movie tonight with my mom. Looking forward to it. ❤🌺" ~Abigail

🌞 "Love Stories in Sunflower Valley is very sweet!" -Maria

Love Upstream

Original Air Date: August 22, 2021

Starring: Kimberly-Sue Murray and Steve Lund

Story-line via UPtv: Best selling author Charlotte Meyers, the epitome of a sophisticated Chicago city girl finds herself spending a month in the wilderness of Minnesota to research and write her new book “The City Girl’s Guide to Wilderness Survival.” Her personal wilderness guide is ROB – a handsome, down-to-earth, guy who doesn’t expect Charlotte to do very well in his neck of the woods. However, before long, they realize they have far more in common than not – and soon find themselves falling in love.

Review:

🌞 "I really enjoyed Love Upstream with Steve Lund. If it is released on DVD I'll probably buy it." ~Namegirl

🌞 "This is a lighthearted rom-com, loved the concept of the city girl trying to make it in the wilderness. I really enjoyed the comedy parts; I only wish there had been more. The movie is family-friendly, but I want to caution there were 2 uses of the phrase "Oh My G--." ~Net

🌞 "I really enjoyed UPtv's "Love Upstream" with Steve Lund in a little more dramatic role." ~Namegirl

🌞 "I really enjoyed Love Upstream! I was laughing to myself quite a few times haha!" ~Anonymous

🌞 "Love Upstream My one line description would be "This could have been a good movie BUT...." Having seen a number of good reviews including the correspondents here and being a card-carrying member of the Steve Lund fan club! I was expecting really good things of this. First I agree with most of what has been said here. I thought the movie was well scripted and the plot of the city girl trying to make out in the wilderness was solid and appealing although I was expecting much more of the story to be set in the wilds of Minnesota - just as much time if not more actually took place in Chicago. I think they missed a chance to spend a bit more time outdoors making more of the scenery. There were cetainly some fine comedic moments throughout especially at the beginning when the resort's owner played by Nadine Whiteman Roden put the client who had fallen into the lake through her own fault but who was trying to claim negligence on the camp's part and avoid paying, in her place. Nadine and her husband were an inter-racial marriage which has now almost become obligatory in any movie! Generally the acting of the secondary characters especially Rob's brother was very good. And now the BUT......... I just couldn't relate to Charlotte the lead female played by Kimberley-Sue Murray an author whose failed realtionship caused the withdrawal of her latest book forcing her to look at new angles from which to write. I must be missing something for unlike almost everyone else I don't think she and Steve Lund made a good pairing and I didn't feel the chemistry between them. Obviously although meant to be her character she started out as arrogant and self-absorbed expecting the world to revolve around her and it struck a wrong note with me. The scene in which she and Rob met when they got stuck in an elevator and she threw a wobbler just had my teeth on edge. Of course as expected her character changed but it just didn't seem real , almost forced and I felt the part was over-acted. With a different actress in the lead role I feel this could have been a highly enjoyable movie. A dificult one for me to rate as there was much I enjoyed about it but I go for a 6" - Florence

Love's Match

Original Air Date: August 29, 2021

Starring: Megan Hutchings and Robin Dunne

Story-line via UPtv: Smart and beautiful matchmaker Leah Price is the owner of dating website Soul match. But when one of her clients still doesn’t find love, Leah reluctantly agrees to allow devilishly handsome rival matchmaker Peter Beckett, whose specialty is arranging romantic meet-cutes, to help her. During the challenge to see whose technique rules, they find something they weren’t expecting… a perfect match for themselves!


Reviews:

🌞 "Love's Match was not a match for me. It was ok, but I am not a big fan of 'competing matchmakers' movies. Only one I liked was Midnight Kiss with that theme. How their dispute was just fixed within a commercial break made no sense either." ~Misty

🌞 "Love's Match All you can do is watch a movie and give your personal opinion on it and I'm afraid in the case of Love's Match I find it very hard to say anything positive apart from the good news that it is family friendly. Plots surrounding Daing Apps seem to be becoming very popular. The first twenty minutes or so as they set the scene were okay but it was rather fraught and seemed unrealistic to me. It became pretty obvious that Peter (the hero) had a hidden agenda and it became easy to guess what that was. The heroine Leah was pleasant enough but for me there was zero chemistry between the pair and the pace was pretty slow - in fact Leah's brother's romance although it was only a minor part of the movie looked more interesting. They had a few madcap situations which I assume were meant to be funny but which were just ludicrous. To be honest the acting was pretty mediocre all round and it became so dull that it really was a stuggle to make it through to the end which was rushed and stretched incredulity. I'm sure there'll be those out there who will like this but for me this was one of this year's poorest movies to date." ~ Florence's rating 3 - for the beginning and Leah's brother!

🌞 "Love's Match is very charming!" -Maria

🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

I think "Love Stories in Sunflower Valley" sounds and looks cute from the poster & info we've been given - thus far. Erin Cahill (A Timeless Christmas) and Marcus Rosner (Love on Harbor Island) are both familiar faces, so I think it will be fun to see these two paired up for this country story. UPDATE: I did enjoy this movie - see my review and others above!


Are you looking forward to watching these movies on UPtv?
