Brennan Elliott’s Heartfelt Thank You to Lacey Chabert and Fans for Choosing "His & Hers" as Favorite Rom-Com

Congratulations, Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott!

On Wednesday, August 6th, I had the joy of revealing the winners of the It's a Wonderful Movie Awards for Favorite 2024 Romantic Comedy, Mystery, Faith-Based film, & Christmas.

To the delight of myself and so many fans, His & Hers took top honors as the #1 voted favorite romantic-comedy of 2024.

To celebrate, I shared a special reel on X and Instagram, that highlighted the past 15 years worth of past winners and the newest champion.

Not long after, I received the sweetest response in my direct messages from Brennan Elliott saying, "THANK YOU so much Lacey and I are beaming!!"

I, of course, was elated by Brennan's words and so glad this news brought joy to them both.

Yesterday, Brennan shared the wonderful news on Instagram, posting a photo of himself with Lacey along with a heartfelt message thanking viewers for choosing "His & Hers" as their favorite movie.

Brennan also spoke movingly about how much this recognition means to him during a difficult season of loss, and he honored the special friendship he shares with Lacey.

I wanted to be sure to share that touching post and message here for anyone who might have missed it...

Brennan Elliott's message:
"To say that @thereallacey and I are very humbled and grateful that our movie #hisandhers @hallmarkchannel was voted by all you wonderful fans as your favorite @hallmarkchannel movie of #2024 would be an understatement! Thank you all for supporting the movie and all our 10 movies together! I have been so blessed to be able to share the screen with her on 10 movies and love her as a scene partner and creative collaborator, but what you all do not see is how she is off screen. @thereallacey is one of my #bestfriends in the whole world and a beautiful human being who has been there for me through thick and thin. Especially the last number of years through this dark time of #cami being sick with cancer and her passing. This last year especially has been the hardest for the kids and I and I have a number of friends who have been there for me and help love myself and the kids through grief. But this soul sent from heaven @thereallacey is at the top of the list! I love you my friend and appreciate our friendship and to say I can’t wait to do a hundred more movies with you is the truth! But more important than that is I can’t wait to continue our friendship forever. Thank you @thereallacey for being a true friend and helping the kids and I as well as #cami when she was here on this plane through the struggles our family has gone thru. I am here for you and your family forever u know that! If anyone out there can have just 1 friend like I have in @thereallacey u r blessed! 🙏 ❤️"


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

I was so touched by Brennan's heartfelt message, I just had to share it here with all of you. It’s easy to see how much love, respect, and gratitude he has for Lacey as a co-star, but more importantly, as a true, lifelong friend. I believe that’s what makes "His & Hers" so special, and why fans embraced it with such warmth. It was made with real heart, on and off the screen.

It was an absolute honor to give Lacey and Brennan this year’s viewer-voted *It’s a Wonderful Movie Award*. They’ve brought so much joy to so many through their 10 films together, and they've shown us all the beauty of friendship, loyalty, and love that lasts through life’s hardest seasons.

I pray for them both... many more beautiful stories ahead!

"The Love Club Moms" Movies Coming This April and May to UPtv

May is all about celebrating mothers, which makes April and May the perfect time for UPtv to introduce "The Love Club Moms" movie collection!

For additional insights into each film, see the storyline descriptions below.

I've also added links under each movie, so you can easily click to view their reviews on Amazon.



---------------------

The Love Club Moms: Tory

A publishing powerhouse, Tory, adopts a baby girl. She gives up on dating, besides, she’s busy being a new mom while trying to prove herself as CEO and land a new hot kids author. This prompts the Love Club to help Tory hire Finn, a nanny. But when the truth comes out that Finn was never really a nanny, the Love Club have to convince Tory that despite his lack of credentials, Finn could be the children’s author and partner she was looking for.

Starring: Ashley Newbrough

Premiere Date: Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 7pm/6c.

---------------------

The Love Club Moms: Jo

As an uptight elementary school principal, Jo’s skills are put to the test when a new young student, Simon, continuously lands in her office for detention. When she learns the boy’s father is her old high school flame Ryan, Jo’s world is thrown for a loop, especially since she has been dating Bernie, the school’s French teacher. Neither Jo or Ryan have forgotten one another and their heated volatile relationship only reveals an intense passion that the Love Club are intent on reigniting.

Starring: Rebecca Dalton and Corey Sevier

Premiere Date: Sunday, May 4, 2025, at 7pm/6c.

Read reviews for The Love Club Moms: Jo at Amazon.
Movie Review:

The Love Club Moms: Jo - In the first hour there is a little language, the a-word is used once. And we learn that Corey's character, Ryan, is a single father who was never married. Corey is also briefly shirtless in a scene when he is washing his car. His opposite, Rebecca Dalton, who plays Jo, asks him to put on his shirt so they can talk.

SPOILER ALERT:

We learn that Jo and Ryan were married briefly. It was annulled.

Jo becomes engaged to a guy at work and when she goes to the clerk’s office to get her marriage license she learns that she is actually still married to Ryan.

Ryan reveals (late in the movie) that he knew there were still married. He tries to tell Jo that she was the only one ever in his heart, but then Jo reminds him he has a son with another woman.

Jo and Ryan do end up happily together in the end. He tells her they’d be crazy not to try and make their relationship work – again.

Honestly, I liked all of the actors and there were some cute moments, especially with the little boy and the friends trying to do their matchmaking, but I wish the relationship part of the story could’ve been written differently.

It was definitely not cool for Ryan to know they were still married and become involved with someone else, assuming he knew at that specific time. This movie was a definite one-time watch for me. ~Net




---------------------

The Love Club Moms: Harper

Harper has never failed at anything she has set out to do so when her husband asks for a separation, it throws off her whole world. When Colin, a divorced dad and community councilor seeking re-election, asks Harper for her help with his community initiatives, the Love Club encourage her to do it. Just when it seems sparks may actually ignite between these two, Colin takes credit for the initiative. Indignant, Harper throws her hat into the election ring and goes head to head with Colin.

Starring: Genelle Williams

Premiere Date: Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 7pm/6c.

Read reviews for The Love Club Moms: Harper at Amazon.



---------------------

The Love Club Moms: Nila

Since her husband died three years earlier, Nila’s life has been all about her Instagram business and helicopter parenting her daughter Mara. Now a tween aching to break free, Mara creates a dating profile for her mom. Nila is horrified, but the Love Club agree it’s time Nila moved on. Nila agrees to date, but when all her dates bomb, she recruits local coffee shop owner Olly to be in a pretend relationship with her to get everyone off her case.

Starring: Nazneen Contractor

Premiere Date: Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 7pm/6c.

Read reviews for The Love Club Moms: Nila at Amazon.



---------------------


Please Note: These "Love Club Moms" movies are said to be sequels to the four original Love Club movies that premiered on the Hallmark Channel in 2023, but these new movies are brand new love stories about fresh new characters, all single mothers.

FYI - the first movie in the original Love Club series, The Love Club: Nicole's Pen Pal, introduced two married men at the end of the film. I don't know if these characters were in subsequent Love Club movies after that. You can read reviews for The Love Club: Nicole's Pen Pal - here.

You can also see details on the three following Love Club movies... The Love Club: Sydney's Journey, The Love Club: Lauren's Dream, The Love Club: Tara's Tune - here. According to an Anonymous reviewer, the first two are family-friendly. In the last movie, Tara has a gay co-worker.

I don't know if the "Love Club Moms" movies are family-friendly. I started watching the first one starring Ashley Newbrough via streaming, but I wasn't fond of the guy they were pairing her with and didn't end up finishing it.

If any of you have had the opportunity to watch these movies on UP Faith & Family, please share in the comments below. I would love to know your thoughts.

Happy movie watching!

Hallmark Channel Reveals New Movies for January 2025 + When Call the Heart and Hallmark Mystery

New romantic comedies are coming to the Hallmark Channel in the New Year!

All four of the new movies take place internationally, and will star Shenae Grimes’Beech, Laci J. Mailey, Markian Tarasiuk, Julie Gonzalo, Rhiannon Fish, and more. Get ready for your *Winter Escape* with Hallmark.

See what's airing this January, 2025...


HALLMARK CHANNEL:

Love Of The Irish

Premiere Date: January 4, 2025

Starring: Shenae Grimes-Beech, Stephen Hagan and Moira Kelly

Storyline: Tired of her bad luck, Fiona takes her mom on a trip to Ireland to turn things around where she meets a charming single dad who helps her make her own luck.

Movie Reviews:

🍀 Love of the Irish is decent enough for a 1 time watch. (Ali Liebert cameos as well). –Maria

🍀 I agree with Maria. "Love of the Irish" was a decent movie. Good enough for a one time watch. It had some bittersweet parts and some cute parts. Overall the quality of the acting was good. But, I didn't love it enough to watch it again. ~Joan



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

When Call the Heart - Season 12

Premiere Date: January 5, 2025

Starring: Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Viv Leacock, Natasha Burnett, Andrea Brooks, and Kayla Wallace

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

Polar Opposites

Premiere Date: January 11, 2025

Starring: Rhiannon Fish and Markian Tarasiuk

Storyline: Emma needs to get to Antarctica to reach her father and travels to South America but can't get on a boat for the last leg. She sneaks onto a cruise ship and meets engineer Andy.

Movie Reviews:

❆ Polar Opposites is safe, cute, and a lot of fun! –Maria

❆ Polar Opposites is super cute and family-friendly from what I saw. ~Allie B

❆ "Polar Opposites" had it's moments. Rhiannon and Markian had good chemistry. Rhiannon has great comedic timing. The location was amazing. But, I felt the storyline was thin and contrived in parts. I guess I am in the minority here, but I found myself bored at times. It was clean and family friendly, which was wonderful. However, I just didn't enjoy the movie overall, so it was definitely a one-time watch for me. ~Joan

❆  Joan-I completely agree with your assessment of Polar Opposites. Rhiannon did such a great job, the chemistry was good, the penguins were cute--but the story felt so thin to me and I actually fast forwarded a few times which is rare for me. Overall it was sweet, but not a whole lot there. -LR

❆  Joan, those were my feelings exactly on this movie! Rhiannon was her usual adorable and funny self, she and Markian had good chemistry together, and the views of Antarctica were spectacular. I enjoyed the first part of the movie - the more comedic part - with her becoming a stowaway, but the latter part with the penguins, especially after her father is found, dragged. I agree that this is a one-time watch. -Mark 25



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

My Argentine Heart

Premiere Date: January 18, 2025

Starring: Julie Gonzalo and Juan Pablo Di Pace

Storyline: Abril goes to Argentina to save her family ranch from being bought by her ex. But when outside forces threaten the ranch the pair must come together, rekindling their love in the process.


Movie Reviews:

❤️ My Argentine Heart is safe enough for a 1 time watch. –Maria

❤️ I agree with Maria. "My Argentine Heart" was safe enough for a 1 time watch. It was just an 'okay' movie. Nothing really memorable happens. The chemistry, between the leads, was average at best. The location was beautiful. ~Joan




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

The Perfect Setting

Premiere Date: January 25, 2025

Starring: Laci J. Mailey & David Elsendoorn

Storyline: An aspiring jewelry designer returns to Belgium to visit her grandfather and hopefully win the Valentines Day Diamond Contest.


Movie Reviews:

❤️ The Perfect Setting is safe and lovely. Good slate of movies to start the year. –Maria

❤️ The Perfect Setting is family friendly about an aspiring jewelry designer named Abby Vandenrick returns to Belgium to visit her Grandfather & Hopefully win the Valentine’s Day Diamond Contest ~Anonymous

❤️ Oh my gosh! We loved everything about "The Perfect Setting". What an incredibly sweet and endearing movie. It was just lovely. Great chemistry, good storyline, amazing location and nice backstory. I especially liked the scene in the stunning cathedral. I have such a soft spot for religious places and no matter where I travel, I make time to visit churches, chapels and cathedral's. That scene was especially poignant, for me, because "Amazing Grace" is one of my favorite hymns. And, it was my Aunt Mazie's favorite hymn. They played it at her funeral. You know how music can transport you and stir up memories. Well, that scene did. It was truly special. Also, I especially loved the relationship between Laci and Hans 'her bompa'. It was my favorite part of the entire movie. I thought Laci was excellent, in her role. She was the perfect lead. And, I did like her relationship with David. I definitely recommend this movie. Well done! ~Joan

HALLMARK MYSTERY:

The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription

Premiere Date: January 9, 2025

Starring: Jodie Sweetin and Stephen Huszar

Storyline: Jane seeks justice for a teenager who’s wrongfully imprisoned for murder. She and Detective John work together to prove the teen’s innocence and help reunite him with his mother.

Movie Reviews:

(This movie first premiered on Hallmark+)

🔎 Review: The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Recommend? Nope -

I did not watch the Jane Mystery from last year, so maybe there was something in that movie that would have made me appreciate this one a bit more. Or maybe not. Anyway, I am starting from scratch with this series. And it is a big No for me. Because...

* The mystery is boring, and it is not too difficult to solve. Also, the culprit is shown about 2/3 into the movie.
* The acting is bad. Jodie Sweetin may be okay in some romcoms, but in a more serious role like this, she is in over her head. She overacts and simply cannot be taken seriously. Stephen Huszar, on the other hand, was too low key and seemed like he was never into his role. And there is absolutely no chemistry between these two.
* The script has too many cringe-worthy subplots and one-liners which make Jodie's character come across at times as silly or careless or unknowledgeable or rude.
* And what is with the songs? Jodie must have in her contract that she is to sing a few songs in these movies, because, while yes she is a very good singer, they are uncalled for and stop the flow of the movie.

Here's an example that includes some of the problems I have mentioned: Jodie and Stephen enter a nightclub where they are to be inconspicuous. The owner tells Jodie the singer can't perform and can she step in(?!), and the next thing you know she is belting out this song on stage like she has been singing it her whole life!

Okay, I guess you can tell that I didn't care for this movie at all. I will not be bothering with the other two movies in this series, so. sorry, I won't be doing any other Jane Mystery movie reviews. -Mark25


🔎 The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription - This is the second film in The Jane Mysteries, and I’m still not feeling that certain spark between Jodie Sweetin and Stephen Huszar’s characters.

The relationship I appreciate the most is the one between Jane (Jodie) and the woman who plays her aunt. Since her aunt has been going through a hard time since her husband’s passing, it’s nice to see Jane being there for her and continuing to search for clues to his cold cases.

Which gets me to my next point… this is a murder mystery; therefore, the movie is best suited for pre-teen age and up. Otherwise, it is a family-friendly movie.

The mystery itself is fairly intriguing with a number of suspects.

If any of you are fans of the Christmas movie, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (you know, the one with Uncle Ralph), then you might recognize one of the suspects as the guy Jen is supposed to marry, Richard (the guy with the shiny shoes). His hair is a little longer in this, so he looks a little different, but yeah, it’s him. I did a quick check of his IMDB, and it looks like this is his first movie with Hallmark since TMWTOT. Interesting, huh?

Anyway, if you really enjoy mysteries, then you might want to check this one out. ~Net

❤️ Great American Family to Premiere New Movie - "Passport to Love" ❤️ SEE HERE:

Great American Family viewers - I have some wonderful movie news! A new movie premiere has been announced for February; an all-new romantic-comedy is set to premiere just before Valentine's Day!


Passport to Love

Starring: Shae Robins and Mason D. Davis

Premiere date: Saturday, February 10, 2024

Synopsis - Nicole, a successful independent travel blogger visiting an island country, meets Kade, a marketing rep for a travel magazine, and they form the beginnings of a relationship. But that’s put to a screeching halt when both return home and learn Kade’s company is actively seeking to outdo Nicole’s blog because they view her as the enemy to be squashed. With that, their relationship will go out the window. Or will it? Kade is ordered to go head-to-head with Nicole, cramping her efforts by showing up at the next must-see destination. Though they are competitors and should be wary of each other, the spark between them makes them want to spend time together. Torn between career and feelings, their rivalry puts their hearts to the test as they travel the world.


MOVIE REVIEWS:

❤️ I absolutely enjoyed "Shae Day" on Great American Family. As always I enjoyed the Destined for Christmas movies, But I absolutely loved Passport to Love, It is family friendly and it had BEAUTIFUL scenery and just a fun storyline :) 2 very big thumbs up from me! ~Sarah

❤️ Passport to Love is so beautiful! -Maria

❤️ Passport to Love – This movie is quite the adventure! I enjoyed traveling along with Shae Robins and Mason D. Davis as they explored various sights in countries all over the world. The two have such sweet chemistry together. This lighthearted, family-friendly rom-com is a cozy addition to Great American Family’s line-up! I also enjoyed seeing Shae host the premiere night; I hope that’s something GFAM will do more of in the future. ~Net

❤️ Passport to Love was definitely a cute movie. I liked all of the locations they visited as well as the curveball toward the end which was different. Of course, I did not like the 'over-used' plotline with 'double-booking' but I got over it quickly because Shae and Mason were adorable. It was nice getting lost in all of the amazing places they visited. :-) ~Joan

❤️ GAF’s “Passport to Love” is a family-friendly story featuring a stunning Shae Robins as she travels the world as a travel blogger. The chemistry between her and her suitor, Mason D. Davis, is a wonderful complement to the breathtaking scenery throughout the movie. Loved this one! ~MPT


"Passport to Love" trailer:
(*Note: The trailer below highlights a lot of the movie. If you prefer not to have any spoilers, then you'll want to skip it.)

Passport To Love - Trailer from Candlelight Media Group on Vimeo.

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

If this pairing already looks familiar to you, that is likely because Shae Robins and Mason Davis previously starred in the Great American Family cable movie premiere, Identical Love.

Passport to Love was directed by Brian Brough, written by Brittany Wiscombe, and created by Candlelight Media Group, which has many films in it's resume that you'll recognize from Great American Family - Prescription for Love, Identical Love, Santa, Maybe, Destined at Christmas, Destined 2: Christmas Once More, Journey to Christmas, and more!

I'm hoping this will be the start of many new movies to come on Great American Family throughout the year! Stay tuned for details.

Enjoy your next movie night!

CAUTION: This story includes a love curse that is attempted to be broken when Betty (the lead character) feels unlucky in love.

You may want to take caution if you plan to watch this with young viewers.

I hope you all have a nice weekend ahead. It's still bitter cold for us; in fact, it is -9 wind chill as I write this. Brrr!!! On a brighter note, we have warmer temperatures coming up in the forecast this coming week, and I hope it will be the same for many of you who are also currently experiencing these freezing temps.

Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies premiering this weekend. If you'd like to post a review on whether these films are family-friendly, please share in the comments below. Thank you so much to everyone who shares with us.

Keep warm this weekend, everyone.

Blessings to You All!

"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."
