Story-line via UPtv: Deirdre’s life is split between her day job as a barista and her passion for designing rooftop gardens. When Deirdre accidentally spills coffee on regular customer and event planner, Marcus, before a big meeting with his boss, it sets the wrong tone for him to discuss a job promotion.

His boss agrees to Deirdre’s help but also wants Jacob, Marcus’ competition for the promotion, to co-plan the wedding. As they work around the clock together, Marcus and Deirdre notice something more about each other and love takes root. But a series of misunderstandings threaten to wilt their growing love.

Movie Review - Love at Sky Gardens:

"I screened this movie before the premiere; I thought it was rather average and lacking chemistry. Lead girl, Deirdre, works at a coffee shop as a barista, but also creates designs for rooftop sky gardens. Deirdre has a serious crush on Marcus, a regular customer she calls “cute suit,” but she never really speaks to him. Her co-worker, a guy, encourages her to talk to him and ask him out – including the comment, “If you don’t, I will.” They both laugh and she pokes him on the arm; it’s not obvious if he’s serious or teasing. The next morning - we see Marcus (cute suit guy), who is insecure at his big corporate job at Sky Events, coming out of his shower at home – he’s seen from the waist up, wet, and shirtless – he grabs a towel and puts it around his waist – giving himself a pep talk in the mirror. I thought it was a bit too much. Did we really need to see him so exposed? Later on, when both Deirdre and Marcus are having a bad day – she accidentally spills coffee on his suit. She tries to apologize to him, but he just insults her as a barista. Deirdre sticks up for herself and tells him, she doesn’t just pour coffee, she creates beautiful, eco, sky gardens, too. He kind of laughs it off as not being serious, but when a famous couple comes in to Sky Events looking for something unique, spiritual and earthy for their wedding, Marcus blurts out the sky garden idea, and they, of course, love it. Then, Marcus desperately needs Deirdre’s help to make it happen. She agrees and encourages the job as Marcus is just about to back out. The story was a bit more intriguing as Deirdre and Marcus began the rooftop sky garden project, but overall, it was not a keeper for me." ~Net

I hope you all have a nice weekend. My prayers are with those down south who've had to endure terrible flooding recently. I pray conditions improve there and everyone stays safe as they clean up.

It still doesn't feel like Fall here in the Midwest, at all, as our temps are in the 80's and very sunny, which is unseasonably warm for us. I love that it still feels like Summer. Hope your weather is pleasant, too.

As for the new movies this weekend... I'm not sure I have a movie pick, but I am eagerly waiting to see "Chesapeake Shores" and hear that Mick (the father) is okay after his plane went missing.

I did pre-screen the new UPtv movie Love at Sky Gardens. Be sure to read my review for the movie above. There were a few incidents in the movie that I wanted to caution you all about.

As for the other new movies... Please Note: I have not pre-screened these movies. If you would like to post a review on whether these movies are family-friendly, please share in comments.
 
We only have two weekends to go without Christmas movies now - the new holiday season is coming soooo soon! If you'd like to look ahead, you can check out the Christmas Schedule - here!

Blessings to you all, Net

Starring: Alex Kendrick, Priscilla C. Shirer, Cameron Arnett, Shari Rigby

Story-line via UPtv: A high-school basketball coach volunteers to coach a troubled teen in long-distance running.

Reviews:

🌞 "Even though I don’t get UP Network, I am happy to see another Kendrick Christian movie airing on TV. The storyline, and more importantly, the message of “Overcomer” are absolutely wonderful." ~Anonymous

🌞 "Overcomer was in theaters. It’s a really good movie. Have Kleenex handy. Family friendly." ~Mary

🌞 "I have a copy of the DVD "Overcomer"This is a very uplifting sports story about Faith. How the troubled teen overcomes adversity. Family Friendly." ~Jersey Joe

🌞 "Overcomer is a FANTASTIC movie! I would highly recommend it to everyone. (Having said that, it is a Christian movie so that might bother some people...but probably not many that come to your website.)" ~Karen

🌞 "Another vote for Overcomer!" ~Meara

🌞 "I too loved the movie Overcomer but would just add that it does have some weightier themes with the father (drug use and abandoning his child). Still an excellent movie but I would not say "family friendly" for younger audiences." ~Anonymous

🌞 "I totally concur regarding the weightier themes and what was noted about the “family friendly” status. I wrote one of the comments but forgot to mention that important item so thank you." ~Anonymous

🌞 "I loved Overcomer. Great movie how God turned a man's life completely around. Went and saw the new version of Courageous. It was everything I hoped the first one would be. Highly recommend it." ~Anonymous

Calling for Love

Original Air Date: October 17, 2021

Starring: Karissa Lee Staples and Tajh Bellow

Story-line via UPtv: Successful podcast host Samantha Desouza has a passion for music and an aversion to romance after a recent bad experience. Just when her show is thriving, she is thrown in the deep end by her boss and re-assigned to host Heartwaves, a feel-good love songs show with a segment that reunites lost loves. Despite her initial lack of enthusiasm, her first caller is the charismatic and charming Jake who has a problem she’s determined to help solve. What they didn’t expect was to fall for each other in the process. Now Sam must decide whether to shy away from love again, or to be a little more spontaneous and follow her heart…

Movie Review:

"Calling for Love- This is a lighthearted, fun movie; the characters are sometimes quirky, but likeable. The premise is a little outlandish, however it's heartfelt. Jake is a mechanic/hopeless romantic, who meets a girl named Becky while fixing her car. He asks her out and she gives him her number, but when his phone is destroyed, the number is lost and he assumes his chance at seeing her again is also lost forever, but Jake turns to a popular podcast to help him find what he believes is his lost love. Podcast host Samantha Desouza is a bit cynical about love since her last break up, but she’s there to help Jake in his search for Becky. Along the way, Jake and Samantha begin to have feelings (surprise!) for one another, but there are several bumps in the road… including Becky! This rom-com is family friendly." ~Net


*Calling for Love is available on DVD at Amazon - see here.
