Heather Locklear stars in the emotional drama...
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff is about Kristine Carlson (Heather Locklear) and her husband Dr. Richard Carlson (Jason MacDonald) had an amazing life with their two daughters (Natasha Bure and Ella Dorsch). But when Richard tragically passes away, Kristine is knocked off balance. Comfortable with living in Richard’s shadow, she is now forced to navigate the unchartered territory of becoming a single mom while dealing with pressure to become the new face and voice of the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff brand. Looking deep inside herself, Kristine comes to understand the true essence of emotional authenticity and not sweating the small stuff, which leads to the resilience and confidence needed to carry on the legacy of the beloved brand.

UPtv has the rom-com movie premiere...
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

Blessings to you all this weekend as we look forward to the Christmas season! I am beyond excited to get these sneak peeks to the new Christmas movies, while I'm quite curious how "Chesapeake Shores" 5th season will come to an end, and I feel like I'm receiving a gift on Christmas morning with the arrival of this all new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie!

I did pre-screen "Calling for Love," the new UP movie, and you can check out my review above.
Please Note: I have not pre-screened the other new movies. If you would like to post a review on whether these movies are family-friendly, please share in comments.
