🎬 ♪ Movie Review: My Take on "Just Jake" - the UPtv Movie Starring Brittany Bristow and Rob Mayes 🎸♪ SEE HERE ►►



I recently had the pleasure of screening the charming, new romantic comedy, "Just Jake," which will premiere on UPtv this month on Sunday, May 21st.

I’ll give you a basic synopsis of the movie below, starring Brittany Bristow (Christmas Next Door, A Royal Seaside Romance) and Rob Mayes (Sweet on You, 5,000 Blankets); plus, I'll share my take on "Just Jake" - with (I'll do my best) no spoilers!




Story details...

Jake (Rob Mayes) left town years ago to pursue his singing career, while Amber (Brittany Bristow), his first love, remained in their hometown and built her life around her family and community while running her own coffee shop and teaching guitar.

When Jake has some trouble with his recording label and has no one to turn to in the big city, his best friend since childhood and manager, Tommy, brings him back to their hometown. The question is… can one truly come home again?

Amber's family and most of the people in their small town are warm and welcoming to Jake. You can easily see they are a close-knit family and community that loves God and reaching out to others in need. Amber attempts to welcome Jake back, as well, while trying to guard her heart, that may still be broken.

Even though some of the townspeople are fans who are fixated on Jake’s fame and popularity, you can still feel the love of old friends and their hometown pride in their small-town boy who has become famous in the country music industry.



My take...

Brittany Bristow portrays the likable girl-next-door sort of character so well, while Rob Mayes is well-suited for the role of the withdrawn country music star who is gradually acclimating himself back into small-town life and being surrounded by friends who truly care about him.

From singing to guitar playing, all of the music in the movie, Just Jake, is fantastic, including country, gospel, and a show tune! And while most of the singing is focused on Jake, who has a soothing, soulful country voice, my favorite musical moment in the movie is a scene where Amber (Brittany Bristow) sings alone. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll just say… it is a beautiful, heartfelt song of faith that marks a pivotal turning point in the hearts of both Amber and Jake, who are learning to trust again.

There’s also a fun talent show near the film’s end that is filled with delightful surprises. You may also recognize some familiar faces in the church/audience scenes, including Producer Brian Bird (“When Calls the Heart” and “When Hope Calls”), who is one of the producers of this film.



“Just Jake” was filmed at a coffee shop called Coff33, Valor Christian High School, Novo Barbers, Plum Creek Church, and other locations in Colorado. This movie is a wonderful addition, in my opinion, to the True Brand Entertainment family of films, which includes “The Engagement Plot” and “The Happy Camper.”

By the movie's end, I only wish we could’ve heard Jake (Rob Mayes) perform even more songs. He and Brittany Bristow are wonderful in their roles; they have such a natural, genuine chemistry together on screen. It was also easy to see their authentic love of music in real-life shine through.

As the credits roll, your spirit will surely be uplifted, as mine was, and the movie may leave you humming a tune or two.

“Just Jake” is an inspirational, family-friendly film all ages can enjoy!



Where you can watch “Just Jake”:

You can currently stream “Just Jake” on UP Faith & Family.

“Just Jake” will premiere on TV - Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 7pm/6c, on UPtv.

❤️️🎸 UPtv's NEW MAY 2023 TV Movie Premieres with Brittany Bristow, Rob Mayes, and More 🎸❤️️ SEE HERE:




UPtv will be premiering NEW Movies coming UP in May! I can now officially announce these three premieres for the network below...


**********************








When Love Blooms

Original UPtv Air Date: May 14, 2023

Note: This movie previously premiered on the BYU-TV network in 2022 and can be currently streamed via Tubi and other sources. This will be the first time this film from Incendo Productions will air on the UPtv channel.

Starring: Sarah Power and Thomas Cadrot


Storyline: Romance blossoms between a risk management analyst and a florist as they prepare for a flower competition.

Movie Review:

🌼🌸 If you really enjoy flowers, then you may enjoy "When Love Blooms." As a risk management analyst, Ann Keller (played by Sarah Power, "Nantucket Noel") is rather persnickety; she has trouble making up her mind, even in inconsequential situations, such as: picking something to eat for lunch or ice cream flavors. Ann returns to her hometown after her father injures his arm and takes his place in a flower-arranging competition titled the “Botanic Cup.” She really has no idea about flower arranging, but her partner, Aaron Blum (Thomas Cadrot, "My Best Friend's Bouquet"), an ex-football player, is the town’s florist, so he teaches her. This movie is family-friendly; however, I have one small caution on dialogue. Aaron eventually reveals his former partner in the flower competition was his ex, and he makes a brief comment that implies that he previously lived with his ex-girlfriend. He says, "Love doesn’t lock you out of the house at 2am in only your bathrobe." That’s the only questionable content I recall. The chemistry between the leads, in my opinion, is a little stiff, at times, and Aaron’s side project at the florist shop is a bit odd. Even though I do love flowers, this was just an okay one-time watch for me. ~Net

🌼🌸 When Love Blooms was so funny and adorable! -Maria

Just Jake

Original Air Date: May 21, 2023

Note: This movie will first be available to stream on Friday, May 5th at 7PM ET on UP Faith & Family!

❤️️🎸 My husband and I both enjoyed watching this movie. The story was nice and the music was lovely. Thanks so much Net for posting your review. ~Anonymous

❤️️🎸 Just Jake. I watched about 40 minutes of this movie and I think it’s pretty good. I like this quote from the movie. “ "If I want a greener pasture... I should just water the one I'm in!" ~Anonymous

❤️️🎸 Just Jake - I really appreciated your review Net beforehand. This movie is.good family film and the music surprises keep coming (in a good way) when you least expect them. Brittany’s family is great and supportive, and it was nice to see scripture or statements of faith on the wall behind the family dinner scenes. ~Allie B

❤️️🎸 Just Jake was incredible! Highly recommend. -Maria

❤️️🎸 Just Jake - Loved this movie! Brittany blew me away with her singing, great chemistry by all! ~Susan Ann

❤️️🎸 I really liked Just Jake-sweet story, good acting, and I appreciated seeing the Scriptures on the kitchen walls. ~Lizzy R.

❤️️🎸 I absolutely adored "Just Jake". I loved everything about. The message, the fact they talked about faith and God without hesitation, the beautiful simplicity of the church, the relationships and the music. Oh, and the scenery! I have family, in Colorado Springs, and it a lovely part of the country. :-) I am definitely buying the dvd when it comes out. It made my hubby cry. ~Joan

Lucky Hearts

Original Air Date: May 28, 2023

Starring: Margie Mays and Alex Trumble


Storyline: A makeup manufacturer gets her chance at the big time when she teams with an investment exec to make her products more marketable. Will she be able to keep the magic that made her makeup such a success?


Movie Reviews:

🌼 Lucky Hearts was clean, and very sweet! Highly recommend –Maria

🌼 Lucky Hearts is sweet and simple, a lighthearted, family-friendly film. In my opinion, it's probably more of a chick-flick. ~Net



**********************


These are the movies confirmed for UPtv in May, thus far. Please be sure to check back if there are schedule changes.

I am personally looking forward to seeing the movie, Just Jake, produced by Brian Bird ("When Calls the Heart" and "When Hope Calls" producer), who previously brought the films, The Engagement Plot and The Happy Camper to the UPtv network. Back in February, UPtv made an exclusive deal with True Brand Entertainment, founded by Brian Bird, along with Brandon Clark, Tai Truesdell, and Darin Chavez, to create a series of uplifting and values-friendly romantic comedies with the UPtv network. Just Jake is their first film premiering on the network since that agreement was made, and it is being promoted as a family-friendly, uplifting romantic comedy. I'm so looking forward to this new, heartwarming story, plus the leads in the movie, Rob Mayes ("Sweet on You") and Brittany Bristow ("A Royal Seaside Romance"), both sing in this new film!

Please note: I haven't pre-screened all of the new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review, please share it in the comments below.


Happy movie-watching, everyone!

πŸ’• UPtv's New FEBRUARY 2023 TV Movie Premieres! πŸ’• SEE HERE:




UPtv will be premiering 4 new rom-com movies - coming UP in February 2023!

See all the details below...



❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤




The Happy Camper

Original Air Date: February 5, 2023

Starring: Daniela Bobadilla and Beau Wirick




Storyline: When Dillon's love life falls apart, she returns to her grandfather's farm in Colorado where she works with Jordan, a handsome hardware store owner, to restore a vintage 1960s travel trailer.

Movie Review:

πŸ’• I've seen The Happy Camper before and while it was a good while ago I don't remember it being other than Family Friendly but I sorta remember it being boring and ended up multi-tasking while watching it. ~Florence

πŸ’• The Happy Camper is a very nice movie! -Maria

πŸ’• Also an interesting fact, in The Happy Camper the main leads are married in real life. ~Anonymous

πŸ’• I also thought 'The Happy Camper' was cute. ~Joan

πŸ’• The Happy Camper – This was a refreshing romantic comedy about second chances. I liked the little pieces of the story where it showed that the characters relied on their faith. Wish there had been even more of that in the movie. All of the campers shown in the movie were creative and fun. Loved the scene where the children sing “The Trolley Song” from the movie ‘Meet Me In St. Louis’ near the end – it’s so cute! I just adore that classic film and Judy Garland, so that was such a delightful touch to the movie for me. The Happy Camper is a very sweet, family friendly movie. (By the way, Daniela Bobadilla (Dillon) and Beau Wirick (Jordan), who portrayed the lead roles, are married in real-life. They both were also on the sitcom, The Middle.) ~Net

Luckless in Love

Original Air Date: February 12, 2023

Starring: Paniz Zade and Brett Donahue




Storyline: A dating blogger who anonymously writes under the pen name Luckless goes viral for a post about a disastrous date with a perpetually single sports agent who refuses to settle.

Movie Review:

πŸ’• Luckless in Love was such a funny movie!! –Maria

πŸ’• Luckless in Love – In the first few minutes we are introduced to the leads, Winnie and Holden– by watching them go on several bad dates with other people. They both haven’t had any luck with dating or their careers, and then they meet each other through a dating app. Winnie and Holden's date together is also a TOTAL disaster. Winnie tells her best friend that Holden is Satan, and her friend responds with, “That’s why he’s sooo hot!” Um-NO, Satan is NOT hot. I did not like that line from Winnie's friend at all. Holden is a British single father to a young teenage boy and he’s a well-known player amongst the women, so that last quality instantly makes him rather unlikeable. Winnie and Holden decide to give dating each other another try, but both are using the other to further advance their careers. Their dating escapades end up being rather fun to watch, and there’s a bit of bad singing in the film that’s actually humorous. Overall, not a keeper for me, but the ending was happy; although, I had a feeling Holden was still a player, even in the end. ~Net

Mixed Baggage

Original Air Date: February 19, 2023

Starring: Leanne Lapp and Spencer Lord



Storyline: (via IMDB) When Evie Jones rushes off a flight to make her connection, she has no idea that in her haste, she has grabbed the wrong green duffel bag. Unbeknownst to her, the flight attendant moved hers, and the one Evie has taken belongs to Jake Weber. Thus ensues a series of mishaps, missed messages and misunderstandings as each tries to get the bag back to its rightful owner. But the struggle proves well worth it when through their lost bags, they find each other.

Movie Review:

✈πŸ›„ "Mixed Baggage review: Spoilers*** This movie must be acquired by Up because it came out last year and I saw played on PixlTV. Anyway, the movie was pretty good. I liked the story of the swapped luggage and the struggle to get things straightened out. The actors were great as well. Pretty refreshing actually, compared to what we see these days. There were two things that I did not care for. Like some other movies lately, the females were more forward and instigating movement in the relationships. This happened with the side characters, not so much the main one. The second, more unsettling, was with one of the side couples. The man kept trying to find the perfect way to propose while the woman was getting slightly impatient. At the end of the movie they end up proposing to each other at the same time. That’s semi-okay, but the weird/uncomfortable part was the female actually bought the man a wedding band that she put on his finger. I felt very strange about this. The man should not have an “engagement ring”. That seems very modern and even woke to me. Besides those two moments, I really enjoyed this movie. The lead actors were the best!" ~Anonymous

✈πŸ›„ I saw the Mixed Baggage movie several weeks ago on Pixl. It's a great movie with nothing to be concerned about. ~Anonymous

✈πŸ›„ Mixed baggage reminded me so much of The Holiday Swap. This was one of UPTV Christmas movies this year. Did anyone see that movie this past Christmas? ~Anonymous

✈πŸ›„ I know I am writing a review late, but I finally had an opportunity to watch 'Mixed Baggage' and it was worth the wait. OMG! I enjoyed that movie more than I have enjoyed a movie in such a long time. The plot was complex. There were three lovely couples and best friends who seemed like 'real' best friends. The chemistry was palpable between all of the couples. This movie is a 'keeper for me'. I am definitely purchasing it when it comes out on DVD. It made me smile and my heart soar. :-) ~Joan

✈πŸ›„ Mixed Baggage – I hope you saved up some frequent flyer miles for this one – because this movie is quite the trip! Mixed Baggage is such a fun, delightful story of chance meetings and missed chances and misunderstandings! When the two leads accidentally ended up with each other’s luggage, it was interesting to watch them try to figure out the mystery of whose bag they had in their possession. I enjoyed this sweet little rom-com. It is family-friendly, the leads have great chemistry, and it leaves you feeling good inside. This was a true UPlifting movie from UPtv! ~Net

✈πŸ›„ MIXED BAGGAGE - I often seem to be a minority of one in my opinion so it's nice to report that on this one we're all singing from the same hymn sheet. My heart lifted immediately when I saw "Pixl" appear on the screen. They have been very quiet of late perhaps because of Covid but they generally come up with enjoyable, clean humorous Rom.Coms - Advance And Retreat and Late Bloomer spring to mind. Although they follow a well-trodden path the acting and direction usually ensure they are first class. This was an intriguing well-scripted plot of two airline passengers getting their similar looking baggae mixed-up and included two secondary romances. I was a bit apprehensive at first that the whole movie would be a series of "near-misses" as Evie and Jake tried to ensure the baggage reached the right owner but Pixl kept progressing the plot through Evie thinking Jake was getting engaged, Jake's insecurity with women and the chaos of the upcoming opening of his new business. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing and I liked the sweet and tentative romance between Evie's friend and the movie director for whom they worked. The third romance involving Jake's buddy was a bit of a downside for me - I found his girlfried whingey which was off-putting. I enjoyed Jake being an everyday guy with a complex as to how he could put himself out for Evie and went through agonies with him such as when on the plane he wrote his phone number on a serviette made it into a rose and gave it to her only to see her put in the trash! Perhaps the ending could have been a bit stronger, but overall great acting by the leads make this a charming and appealing movie even if they were casual about hopping on and off a 4 hour flight between Los Angeles and Vancouver! I'd have to say this easily the best movie I have seen this year. In fact reliving it has put me in the mood to re-watch it tonight so no further dent in our Christmas backlog. I'd rate it 9 - Florence

Sweet on You

Previously Known As: Pearl's Pie Place

Original Air Date: February 26, 2023

Starring: Haylie Duff, Rob Mayes, and Chelsea Alden




Storyline: Kate, a small town pie shoppe owner, encounters city boy Drew who, unbeknownst to Kate, is in town to build tract homes that would run straight through her shoppe… until Drew finds his heart stuck between his family’s wishes and a chance at love.

Movie Review:

πŸ’• Sweet on You is an outstanding movie! Highly recommend. –Maria

πŸ’• Sweet on You was a really cute movie. It was funny and sweet and I liked the two leads together. And, the supporting actors were fun too. All in all, well worth a watch. And, it looked like the location was in California. ~Anonymous

πŸ’• 'Sweet on You' was also good. Not great but it made me smile. ~Joan

πŸ’• Sweet on You is family friendly about Small-town pie shop owner Kate encounters city boy Drew, who has arrived to build tract homes that would run straight through her business; Drew soon finds his heart trapped between his family's wishes and a chance at love. Kate owner of the town's famous pie shoppe has always lived a sweet, simple life. She recently lost her mother and has been trying to pick up the pieces of her life, then she meets Drew who is in town to claim land that he inherited. ~Anonymous

πŸ’• Sweet on You – This movie is rather charming. I enjoyed the country, down-home sort of feeling, where everyone knows their neighbor and community, and the locals faithfully gather at Pearl’s Pie Place for a slice of pie, some home-cooking and the friendly atmosphere, which includes the owner, Kate (Haylie Duff) and her friend/waitress, Bree (Chelsea Alden). Bree is noticeably very pregnant and added some delightful comedy to the story, especially when she was trying to pair Kate up with Drew, a newcomer in town, who is a big city business man, who has come to town to sell some land left to him by his grandfather. Unbeknownst to the locals, that land includes Pearl’s Pie Place and other special businesses important to the town. At one point, as Kate and Drew spend more time together, the two team up for a 3 legged race. It’s a fun idea, but I couldn’t believe their competition was Bree (the pregnant woman, who looks like she could deliver any day) and her police officer husband, Jake. I thought that was crazy and definitely not advisable for any woman who is expecting - at any stage in her pregnancy. Also, Drew keeps in close contact with his business assistant, Marcus, who appears to be gay. Nothing is ever said, but it’s fairly obvious. Near the end, Jake gets intensely angry towards Drew when he learns why he’s really there. I thought his anger was a bit over-the-top, but the dust finally settles, of course, and there ends up being a happy ending. Overall, “Sweet on You” lives up to its name – it’s a very sweet movie! ~Net


❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤



I hope you find a movie or two on UPtv in February that you will love! I think one or two look pretty sweet. How 'bout you?
