🌹 It's a "Garden Party" on the Hallmark Channel this Spring! 🌹

Tampa Bay Times is reporting a movie filming in St. Petersburg for the Hallmark Channel currently titled - Garden Party!

image taken: February 18, 2019

According to the article, the film will star Sara Rue (Hallmark's "All for Love") and Jordan Bridges (Hallmark's "Holiday Engagement" and "Christmas at Holly Lodge") and the storyline, according to the Tampa Bay Times, was shared by executive producer Lincoln Lageson, who said... "Garden Party is about a woman who honors her father’s memory by continuing the community garden he built in St. Petersburg. But the future of the garden is threatened when a condo builder buys the property for development."

The description of this story sounds quite a lot like the storyline given for the film, "True Love Blooms" on Hallmark's web-site.

"True Love Blooms" storyline via Hallmark: "Spring is in full bloom when urban gardener Vicki fights to save her community garden from a handsome real estate developer. Both are caught off guard when it's not just the flowers that are blooming, but also love."

So... we will have to wait and see which title - Hallmark ultimately uses for this movie. Either one sounds refreshing and spring-y!

The article also states we should expect to see this movie sometime in April on the Hallmark Channel!

Hallmark Channel New Movie "All For Love" Coming in May!

Hallmark Press Release:

A ROMANCE NOVELIST’S RESEARCH
PAIRS HER

WITH THE EMBODIMENT
OF HER FICTIONAL HERO IN

‘ALL FOR LOVE,’

A NEW, ORIGINAL
HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE

PREMIERES SATURDAY ---

UPDATE: The New Date for this Premiere is MAY 27!

Sara Rue (“Less Than Perfect”)

and Steve Bacic (“When Calls the Heart”) Star

STUDIO CITY, CA – March 27, 2017 – Sara Rue (“Less Than Perfect,” “Popular”) and Steve Bacic (“When Calls the Heart”) star in Hallmark Channel’s “All For Love,” a new original movie premiering Saturday, May 13 (9 p.m. ET/PT).

After a string of successes, romance novelist Jo Parker (Rue) is worried that she’s lost her Cupid’s touch. She herself has sworn off relationships, her sales are down and her last book was a critical and commercial disaster replete with factual errors. Jo is badly in need of a success and her publisher isn’t happy with her first draft of “SEALed with a Kiss,” featuring a hunky Navy Seal hero. With her career in balance, Jo unenthusiastically commits herself to an immersive research course with an openly skeptical retired Seal, Colin Shaw (Bacic), who runs a military-style boot camp. As Jo embarks on the grueling regimen alongside aspiring Seals and Marines, she discovers capabilities she didn’t know she had and contributes to her team in ways no one expected. From their rocky beginnings, writer and sailor develop a mutual respect and perhaps something more -- but can art really imitate life?

“‘All For Love’ is a charming story about expanding your definition of who you can be and how you can live your life,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “Sara Rue and Steve Bacic have a delightful chemistry and viewers will love seeing the sparks fly between their smart, strong-willed characters.”

“All for Love” is a Book Road Production Ltd. Jack Grossbart, Linda Kent, Michael Shepard and Marnie Young are executive producers. Harvey Kahn is producer. Lee Friedlander is the director. Writers are Mark Famiglietti, Michael Testa, Tracy Andreen and Lee Friedlander.

My Future Boyfriend - ABC Family Movie

MOVIE REVIEW

My Future Boyfriend

original title:
Always and Forever

Network: ABC Family

Original Air Date: April 10, 2011

RATING : This movie is Rated TV: 14

Please Note: Unfortunately, ABC Family Movies are not always Family - Friendly. For this reason, and due to it's rating, I have removed this movie from the Family TV Schedule.

CAST:

Sara Rue ... Elizabeth Barrett
Barry Watson ... Pax
Valerie Harper
Fred Willard ... Bob

PLOT:

Can love survive everything – even the past, present and future?

In the movie Barry’s character, Pax, comes from the future, where there isn’t love. He visits present day New Orleans in search of romance novelist Elizabeth Barrett, played by Sara, whose book his culture found during an archeological dig in the year 3125. Pax hopes that Elizabeth will be able to describe the concept of love to him so he can bring it back to the future.

Valerie Harper will play a colleague of Elizabeth’s, and Fred Willard will play the character, Bob, who is Pax’s superior in the future who helps him go back in time.



Movie Review:

Please Note: This Movie was Rated TV-14 with a Caution of Language and Dialogue.

I found the characters to be just as odd as the story. It was rather silly and cheesy. This guy, P-A-X-497/341 (AKA - PAX, played by Barry Watson) comes from the future to the past – which is our present day, to try and discover what the word Love means. In the future the word Love doesn’t exist and people seem to be without emotion or feeling. When PAX goes out to eat – he doesn’t recognize common foods or music. Elizabeth Barrett, (played by Sara Re) is a Romance Novelist, who is intrigued by PAX and his quest for discovering Love. She is already involved with someone, yet finds herself attracted to PAX.

If you like futuristic movies or a bit of Sci-fi, then this might be interesting to you. Or, if you are a fan of Sara Rue, who is always sweet, quirky, and delightfully fun in any role she plays... then you’ll want to see this. Fans of Barry Watson, who is a handsome guy, may not quite recognize in this as he seems strange, somewhat nerdy, odd, and a bit nutty.

All in all, I won’t tell you exactly how it comes about... but there is a future Happy Ending for PAX and Elizabeth .... a great ending to an odd, but sweet... Romantic Comedy.


See or Skip:

Remember, it is Rated TV-14. If it sounds interesting to you, then see it. It is kind of out there - but cute!
