Annoyed at first, Belle unexpectedly finds space for joy she has long ignored. The season brings another surprise: the return of Marine Sgt. Will Mattinson (Williams) who is welcomed home from military service. As old feelings stir, Belle struggles to release responsibility and open her heart to possibility. With Christmas fast approaching and the community’s hopes hanging in the balance, Belle discovers believing in the best of people is the greatest gift of all.

UPtv's February 2021 Movie Premieres - 💘 SEE HERE:

UPtv will be premiering new movies on Sunday nights in February, beginning with "Made for You, With Love" starring Edy Ganem and Brendon Zub.

Also look for these movies premiering throughout the month of February on UPtv: "Sincerely, Yours Truly" starring Natalie Hall and Marshall Williams, "The Dating List" starring Natalie Dreyfuss and Andrew Dunbar, and "Hint of Love" starring Debs Howard and Dennis Andres.


See the February, 2021 UPtv Movie Premieres below...

Made for You, With Love

Original Air Date: February 7, 2021

Starring: Edy Ganem, Brendon Zub, Matreya Scarrwener, Clayton James, Karen Holness

Story-line: The owner of a second-hand wedding dress business breathes new life into used dresses, making dreams come true for brides unable to afford pricey gowns. But when she meets the perfect guy, she’s afraid to give her own heart a second chance at love.

Reviews:

💘 "Made For You With Love" was a sweet movie, but I must say I got a little bit irritated with the girl's attitude at times. Won't say anymore because many have not watched yet. Did love her designs!" ~kitkat

💘 "Made for You, with Love - This was a pretty cute movie. I agree with kitkat – the lead girl, Amanda, was a bit irritating in the beginning, I was so happy when she finally lightened up. Overall, family friendly, although I want to caution - I wasn’t fond of the 2 or 3 uses of Oh My G— and a guy does dress up, just to be funny, in a bride gown. There is a sweet connection between the leads – you can really sense their attraction to one another. I also liked the story of the seamstress, Amanda, who restores vintage wedding dresses. She’s trying to date again to overcome a past bad breakup, but will she choose the guy she’s currently dating, Keith, who seems perfect, or will she choose her new friend, James – who is brutally honest and sometimes annoying, in a sweet way. James is also there for her when she needs him the most. Along the way, Amanda’s own heart may be slowly mending." ~Net

💘💘💘💘💘

Sincerely, Yours, Truly

Original Air Date: February 14, 2021

Starring: Natalie Hall, Marshall Williams, Sherry Miller

Story-line: When Hayley finds a wedding ring with a letter hidden in a drawer in her new condo, she decides to write back… and the mysterious lover replies, starting a chain of letters and events that will change her life forever! Love does exist in the most unexpected places.

Reviews:

💘 "I thought Sincerely, Yours, Truly was cute. It was a little confusing at the beginning, but got better as the movie went along. Family-friendly and a nice change of pace from the so-so Hallmark movies lately. Natalie Hall is becoming a must-watch for me when she's in a movie." ~Anonymous

💘 "Sincerely, Yours, Truly" on the 14th was a good movie." ~kitkat

💘 "Sincerely, Yours Truly. Well now here's a bit of a surprise - Natalie Hall can be hit and miss with me and to be honest in the couple of movies I have seen him in Marshall Williams has been a bit insipid but both stepped up to the mark here particularly Mr Williams. He was still the boy your mother would like to see you bring home! but his character also had a slightly harder edge to it. There was a slightly slow start to the movie but once it got going it was delightful and the plot was just that little bit out of the ordinary. There was a really great feeling of connection between the leads and plenty of humour. Reallky nice ending too. It's always good when a movie you aren't expecting too much from really hits the mark. I really enjoyed this - it was refreshing and heart-warming and definitely family friendly!" ~Anonymous

💘 "Sincerely, Yours Truly - super cute story! Loved Natalie Hall and Marshall Williams together. It had a "In the Good Ole Summertime" (or "You've Got Mail") sort of feel to it. Very sweet romance. Family Friendly." ~Net

💘 "Watched Sincerly yours truly, and it's very sweet!" -Maria

💘💘💘💘💘

The Dating List

Original Air Date: February 21, 2021

Starring: Natalie Dreyfuss, Andrew Dunbar

Story-line: Abby Morel is a bright, young editor’s assistant living in the big city. Wanting to get ahead in her career, she makes an unusual deal with her high-flying boss, Susan. Susan is far too busy to date, but she wants to fall in love. Abby agrees to ‘screen’ dates in exchange for a promotion, and to add to the pressure, Susan is looking for the perfect man! After a couple of disasters, Abby meets Dan, who seemingly ticks all the boxes. The trouble is, she’s starting to fall for him too… A promising career now within her reach, will she risk losing it all for true love?

Reviews:

💘 I am loving UP TV more and more. Watched "The Dating List" and "Change Of Heart" this weekend and loved them both. Also enjoyed "The Right Girl". "Sincerely, Yours Truly" on the 14th was a good movie. These older movies are so much better than the newer ones. Any time I see Larry Levinson mentioned on a movie, I know it will be good. Loved "The Dating List" so much I have already watched it twice. ~kitkat

💘 "The Dating List was pretty good. I thought it could have been better if we got to see the second romance more and I didn't care about the female boss finding love, because of that. The lead actress was very spunky and very pretty. I thought the guy friend/writer was cuter than the lead actor. I thought it was pretty funny, but I thought the part how they met and the copies were over the top. When it came to the 'reveal', I thought how he acted was horrible! That was such a huge turn off for me. However, I am going to watch it again, because I had so many distractions and overall it was a very cute movie! Family friendly as well." Misty

💘 "The Dating List. Super cute! Loved it! Loved the four main actors/actresses. (The guy who played the head of the publishing company also played the groom in Love is a Piece of Cake and his characters are always a little bit too bizarre and unrealistic and don't quite feel like they fit in the sweet movies.) Family friendly." ~~Jane

💘💘💘💘💘

Hint of Love

Original Air Date: February 28, 2021

Starring: Debs Howard, Dennis Andres

Story-line: A cookbook literary agent with culinary training is tasked with helping elevate the brand of a food channel personality known for his convenience-oriented recipes. However, as the agent works with her client on a new cookbook, playfully clashing over everything from ingredients to tastes, she must choose between following the directions or following her heart.

Review:

💘 "Hint of Love is sort of a no go for me. I just did not like the female lead's character at all in the beginning that I sort of tuned it out. I just had it on until I could watch Relative Race." ~Misty

💘 "I watched Hint of Love and I can't remember details except that I did like it and I think it was family friendly. The lead actress was different but she grew on me and I ended up liking her character." ~Jane

💘💘💘💘💘

Please note: I have not pre-screened the UPtv new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

CHRISTMAS MOVIE NEWS:

In case you missed it, Lifetime released their full 2020 Christmas movie slate this week. SEE HERE.

Please know, I will NOT be promoting every Lifetime Christmas film. Unfortunately, with some exceptions, it will be difficult to know which movies are family-friendly, but I will be sharing here throughout the Christmas season if I learn of any movie of concern - and I absolutely appreciate those of you who take time to share information, too!

First off, I will NOT be promoting the Lifetime movie, "The Christmas Set Up," because the main storyline is a same sex romance. I wanted to be sure to warn you all of this right away and let you know this movie is featured in the new Lifetime Christmas movie promo. Most likely this commercial will run this Christmas season on the Lifetime network. Please beware of this if you decide to turn there.

One movie that looks good to me, so far, is a new Lifetime Military Christmas movie titled "A Welcome Home Christmas." It appears to have lots of promise. The movie stars Jana Kramer ("Christmas in Mississippi," "Love at First Bark") and Brandon Quinn ("Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses"), plus the movie co-stars Tim Reid, Charlene Tilton, and country singer, Craig Morgan. To see more on this movie and more Christmas movies coming to Lifetime this Christmas season - CLICK HERE.

🍂🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍂

I hope you all have a pleasant last weekend of Summer, and maybe, enjoy a movie or two!

I'm looking forward to the new Fall Harvest movie this weekend and both of the Christmas Sneak Peeks, plus the UPtv movie premiere!

*Please Note: I have not pre-screened these new movies, but based on the previews we've been given, thus far, I am anticipating they will be family-friendly. Let's hope so! 

Have a nice weekend, everyone...

Blessings, Net

When single Josie catches her friend Emma's (d'Oliveira) bouquet instead of their not-single friend Athena (Olson), she fears she's ruined Athena's chances of getting engaged. When Josie starts dating an eligible bachelor she met at the reception, she decides the bouquet is at work. What she doesn't know is her long-time friend Alex (Witte) secretly holds a torch for her. As Josie clings to the notion that the bouquet is always right, she's missing real-world signs that her perfect match has been in front of her all along.

Please Note: I have not pre-screened these movies, so I am not aware, at this point, if all 5 movies will be family-friendly. Please stay tuned for any updates or further details.

Based on the information we've been given, all of these "Fall Harvest" movies appear to be a fresh look at the autumn season. As many of us know, this particular block of films has been lacking on the network in recent years; therefore, it's refreshing to see this new crop of movies this harvest.

When we think of Fall, of course all sorts of colors and images come to mind... orange, golden yellow, pumpkins, apple-picking, hay rides, campfire, blanket, smores, and more! Let's hope this year's Fall Harvest movies give us all-the-feels of a crisp, heartwarming Autumn!

Blessings! Net
