UPtv JUNE 2021 TV Movie Premieres 🌞 SEE HERE:

NEW Wedding Movies are coming Sunday nights to UPtv in June - for their movie event titled June Grooms!

The first movie to start the month off is "The Wedding Ring."

See details on the June Movie Premieres below...


The Wedding Ring

Original Air Date: June 6, 2021

Starring: Lauren Lee Smith and Dillon Casey

Story-line via UPtv: Kate Sterling’s entire life is about proposals. As a jewelry designer she’s created rings for more happy couples than she can count, however none for herself yet. At her sister’s marriage, Kate is given a second change to connect with her childhood sweetheart. Now she has to decide whether their feelings have changed, or if the wedding will re-kindle the sparks that once united them; giving Kate the ring she’s been waiting for her whole life!

Reviews:

💕 "The Wedding Ring was cute. I liked the new-to-me actors. Twelve days later and my soon-to-be-geriatric brain can't really remember any details from the movie - oops! But I'm pretty sure it was family friendly." ~~Jane


💕 "The Wedding Ring – This movie is lighthearted and family-friendly. The characters acted a bit silly, at times, but nothing too outlandish. Kate Sterling portrays a wedding ring/jewelry designer who owns her own shop, but she is offered a new job in the city where an old love interest currently lives. As they start to rekindle their relationship, Kate is torn between her career decision. Much of the movie is spent wondering – will she stay or will she go? It’s a lighthearted story overall. I enjoyed the flashbacks from their childhood and there is a satisfying, happy ending." ~Net

The Perfect Wedding Match

Original Air Date: June 13, 2021

Starring: Jenna Michno and Tyler Courtad

Story-line via UPtv: Programmer for the ‘Plus Ones’ matchmaking app Maisie Jacobs is single and dateless for her little sister Ali’s wedding. Keen to avoid her family’s questions, Maisie uses the app to find her own plus one – but is sent the only person she would never date! Could the mix-up be her chance for true love?

Reviews:


💕 "The Perfect Wedding Match. Um. Um. Ummm. This movie. It was kind of cute and, yet, kind of cringeworthy. For me, it was like a train wreck that you just can't look away from. Several times I almost quit watching, but it was such a bizarre mess that I was kind of mesmerized to see if it would be like that all the way through. The characters and their dialogue and the situations they would be in were so over-the-top and sometimes ridiculous that I wondered if the directors were purposefully going for a parody type movie. I'm still not sure?? I kind of enjoyed seeing new-to-me actors and I actually think most of them did a really good job, I think they did exactly what the script or director told them to do, which would make them pretty good actors to pull off this parody style of movie (if that's what they were going for??). I wouldn't necessarily advise anyone to NOT watch it, but just know that if the over-the-top, silly stuff is kind of annoying you, it is not going to get any different as the movie goes on. Basically family friendly but there is one goofy relative that hides bottles of wine that they get out to drink and there were one or two vague comments implying that unmarried couples should travel together to see if they really get along well enough to get married or some such nonsense like that." ~~Jane


💕 "The Perfect Wedding Match – This movie was, indeed, something… the characters acted a bit wacky, at times. The overall flow was fine, but it lacked depth. Maisie needs a plus one for her sister’s wedding and ends up using a match through her own app. Of course, it ends up being someone Maisie knows and already has preconceived feelings of not liking. The movie was mostly family friendly, except for a few issues, such as: the hiding of wine bottles and a little adult dialogue. Overall, I thought there was very little romantic chemistry between any of the couples, and I found myself losing interest as I watched." ~Net

A Whirlwind Wedding

Original Air Date: June 27, 2021

Starring: Morgan Kohan and Drew Nelson

Story-line via UPtv: Cassie, a talented event planner returns to her home town to plan her mother’s wedding. She’s having trouble accepting her stepfather-to-be and quickly Cassie’s obsession with perfection begins to clash with her mother’s wishes for a low-key celebration —especially when it comes to handsome and charming Kyle, the chef Cassie deems inadequate for catering the event. But as complications arise—both personal and professional—it’s Kyle who is able to help her pull off the big day and help her find the love she’s been looking for…

Review:

💕 "A Whirlwind Wedding. Cute. Formulaic. Sweet. A bit awkward in places. Lovely barn wedding set. For me, it was nice for a one-time watch but not a keeper; I think most folks here will enjoy the movie. Family friendly except for in the very beginning the lead actress and her friend are both talking about taking the next step with their respective boyfriends by moving in with them; it's a brief scene but it's definitely talked about." ~~Jane

💕 "A Whirlwind Wedding – The romance in this movie is somewhat slow, at first; however, it’s still very sweet to watch it build. I enjoyed seeing Morgan Kohan again (Lillian, from "When Hope Calls") and her mother, portrayed by actress, Laura Soltis, is recognizable from a number of Hallmark movies – notably in "Five Star Christmas," "Karen Kingsbury's Maggie's Christmas Miracle," "Framed for Murder: A Fixer Upper Mystery," and many others. One caution is when Cassie mentions to her friend her relationship plan to move in one day with her boyfriend. That brief comment was unnecessary to the rest of the story. It was fun, however, to watch Cassie (Kohan) plan her mother’s wedding in just a few days with the help of a local caterer, Kyle Billings, who is also handy with woodworking and construction. It's obvious Kyle and Cassie understand each other and bring out the best in one another – while they are creating the wedding space together in a country barn and trying to rediscover where their passion truly is with their work. Cassie’s current boyfriend is the type who is self-absorbed with his career, until he fears losing Cassie and makes a grand gesture. The country barn decorated with beautiful flowers and party lights for the wedding is beautiful! Plus, the outdoor wedding ceremony was also lovely, but it was quite odd how far the wedding couple stood apart and no kiss was ever shown. (I’m sure this was corona virus related, but the couple could have, at least, stood a little closer. They were nearer to each other in other scenes and later on - on the dance floor, so it was quite odd the distance they stood apart for the actual wedding.) After the wedding is successfully over, Cassie eventually discovers where her heart truly belongs. This is a family friendly, delightful movie; it is my top pick of UPtv’s June Groom movie offerings." ~Net

💕 "A Whirlwind Wedding A hidden gem - I absolutely loved this. Now there's absolutely nothing new to it - a typical "Hallmark-type" movie which we've seen many times before - it's not even fast paced and the romance is slow to develop because of Cassie having a boyfriend in the background but Morgan Kohan and Drew Nelson make a perfect couple, there's sparks at the beginning as they disagree on the menu for her mother's upcoming wedding but come to an understanding not just on this but Kyle comes to her assistance on fixing up the venue. In fact at their first accidental meeting at a restaurant as Cassie is on her way home you can literally feel a frisson between them. The banter between Cassie and Kyle is enthralling and I love the way their relationship deepens. At one stage when Kyle misunderstood a situation which devastated him I could feel myself tearing up. Cassie's mother and her future husband and Kyle's partner and brother are all excellent in the secondary roles. One quibble I did have was that both the inside of Kyle's cafe and at the beginning the barn where they decided to hold the reception were very dark and I found the photography quite gloomy at times. It's always lovely when something you're not expecting a lot from comes up trumps but something about this movie just touched a sweet spot in me. One of my favourite movies this year. Interestingly both the lead actors appeared just a few months previously in a movie called A Romance Wedding and there are some similarities in the plot - at first I thought it must be the same movie under a working title but not so - I just wish UPtv would give it an airing" - Florence




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


Hope you enjoyed this movie information. I was most looking forward to seeing Morgan Kohan (from When Hope Calls) in A Whirlwind Wedding and after watching it, I must tell you - this family friendly, delightful movie was my top pick of UPtv’s June Groom movie offerings. Something about that poster and that country barn decorated with beautiful flowers and party lights - just drew me right in!

What do you think? Which movie are you looking forward to?

Also, if you would like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, after they air on UPtv, please share in comments.

"You May Kiss the Bridesmaid" - starring Tori Anderson and Kristopher Turner on BYUtv! DETAILS HERE:

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: You May Kiss the Bridesmaid

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: May 5, 2021 at 1pm EST.

Starring: Tori Anderson and Kristopher Turner

Storyline: Food influencer Scarlett Bailey is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime to work as a pastry chef in one of New York City’s top restaurants. Her life gets put on hold when she returns to her hometown for her sister Maddie’s wedding. Scarlett learns that her parents have sold the family home, a B&B, to her childhood flame Liam Perry and that Maddie has lost her wedding venue days before the nuptials. Scarlett suggests they host the event at the B&B and works with Liam to pull off the wedding of Maddie’s dreams, trying to put their history behind them. As her dream job in NYC becomes a firm offer, Scarlett is forced to make a decision. She has been falling back in love with Liam and with her childhood home. With the countdown to the wedding day on, will Liam Perry get to kiss the bridesmaid?


Review:

🌹 "There's something special about a first love. When Scarlett Bailey returns home for her sister’s wedding, she’s in for a few surprises. First, her parents run a B&B and they’ve recently sold it to her old boyfriend, Liam Perry. And another surprise – her sister’s original wedding venue is ruined, so Scarlet insists on helping out and encourages her sister and her parents to move the wedding outside at the B&B, which means they’ve all got a lot of work to do, including Liam, who will be taking over as the new owner very soon. In the meantime, Scarlett is making cooking videos and auditioning for a pastry chef position in New York. However, her nostalgic spirit is enjoying being home and possibly falling for Liam all over again. But, she has the usual problem – of trying to decide between the big city and small town life. Which way will she decide? Plus, she has a boyfriend in the city – who’s more about climbing the social ladder then spending quality time together. The setting at the country inn is beautiful and the chemistry between the leads is kind of low key, but still very sweet. One major movie error that baffled me and my family – when the sister actually gets married, the father who is incredibly giving and part of the entire wedding planning, building the wedding arch, etc… does NOT walk his daughter down the aisle. She walks all alone, by herself. Very strange. He is, instead, sitting on the front row with the mother. I’m not sure why they would do this, but we thought it was beyond peculiar – a huge miss. It just seemed like a standard wedding tradition that should be included. Overall, You May Kiss the Bridesmaid was a bit predictable; however, it was an enjoyable watch, lighthearted and completely family friendly." ~Net

🌹 "I watched You May Kiss the Bridesmaid. Agree with Net that it was a sweet (and predictable) movie with a rather low-key romance. One thing that I loved was the beautiful setting. And as a former florist and wedding/party planner I really appreciated all the decorations; they seemed realistic whereas a lot of Hallmark movies seem very overdone and fake to me. Cute little family friendly movie!" ~~Jane


🌹 "These BYUtv movies are a real bonus - they all seem to be family friendly and highly enjoyable. This one already had a head start with me as my very favourite plot is that of former loves reunited! There really was nothing new to this, as Scarlett trying to decide on whether to take up a new job in New York comes home for her sister's wedding to find it is in danger of being cancelled and her parents have sold their inn to her old school boyfriend. The film follows their progress as they team up to try and get the wedding re-arranged in the grounds of the B&B and I must say the scenery is lovely. It is pretty obvious from the start that Liam is carrying a torch for Scarlett but her principles means she won't "cheat" on her current boyfriend who is really more interested in advancing his career. I would agree that the romance is low key but there's just something so sweet and warm about it that I found appealing. I was certain that I recognised Kristopher Turner although my husband didn't but when I checked up it turned out he had starred in an old Hallmark movie Love By The Book - I can't remember much about it so it didn't seem to have made much impression on me! These BYUtv film actors seem to have found the secret of eternal youth. In One Of A Kind Love the hero barely looked out of his teens but when I checked up he was 29! Here Liam didn't look very old but I was stunned to discover he was actually born in 1980. The ending was kind of weird - Scarlett realised her true love was Liam and broke off with her boyfrind. When she told Liam of her true feelings a great smile spread across his face, he caressed her hands and they walked off to participate in her sister's wedding. During this they kept giving each other goofy smiles, then at the reception later that night Scarlett walks over to liam they say "hey" and he asks if he can kiss her. It lasts all of 2 seconds and they walk off hand in hand back to the reception - decidedly odd - that apart though they made it clear the path their future lives would take and I do like the i's dotted and the t's crossed! But there was something about this movie which just touched me - this and Hearts Down Under are my two favourite movies to date this year - interestingly neither of them are Hallmark (I know Hearts Down Under was shown on Hallmark but it was bought from Netflix in Australia)." ~ Florence
