I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the new movies!

I'm looking forward to recording them all and catching them when I can. If I get the chance, I'll be watching An Unlikely Angel. I love that Great American Family is airing these faith-based films; we really need more inspirational films like this on TV these days.

For me, When Calls the Heart is an absolute must-see! It looks like it will be a sweet and comical episode centered around Rosemary's surprise(?) baby shower.

Plus, I'm sure the animals will be amazing and cute in A Safari Romance. As much as I like Brittany Bristow and Andrew Walker (they are both great!), the animals just might still the show! Hope this is a good one!

For you Heartland watchers, episode 3 from Season 16 airs Sunday night on UPtv. The network is also airing some fun rom-com movie classics that day, as well, including Love in Translation, starring Michelle Argyris and Corey Sevier, and The Engagement Plot, starring Rachel Boston and Trevor Donovan. New episodes of Heartland will continue to air on UPtv on Sunday nights in August, September, and October.

If you haven't seen Wedding Cake Dreams, which airs Monday night on Great American Family, you can read my review of the movie - here.

Love Can Surprise You

Also known as: 10 Truths About Love

Starring: Camilla Belle and David Lafontaine

Premieres: Saturday, September 9, 2023

Storyline: Hannah, a thriving romance columnist, thinks she’s got life and love figured out… until her longtime boyfriend unexpectedly breaks up with her. At the same time, Hannah’s editor hires a new writer, Liam, to work with her and give the column a male perspective. The two clash over their approach and sparks fly. To prove himself, Liam offers to help Hannah get her ex-boyfriend back. But, in the process of proving each other wrong, they begin to realize they may be right for each other.

Movie Review:

🍁 Love Can Surprise You – This movie surprised me by being even more entertaining than I thought it would be. The banter between the leads was fun to watch, and I especially loved the scene where they met and he used her office mug by mistake. It was cute how they brought that mug scene back again later in the movie. The chemistry between the leads was good, but my favorite relationship was actually the father and son relationship between Liam (David Lafontaine) and his Dad, Milton (played by one of my faves – Neil Crone, from When Hope Calls). They worked together in the father’s garden, and it was sweet to see the dad giving his son advice about love. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie, not a 10, but still a delightful watch. Maybe it will surprise you, too! ~Net

One Perfect Match

Previous title: Haven't Met Yet

Starring: Merritt Patterson and Joshua Sasse

Premieres: Saturday, September 16, 2023

Storyline: A professional matchmaker must choose between her job and her heart when she falls for a client.

Movie Reviews:

❤ One Perfect Match was fantastic! Loved this movie! Great premise, great acting and great chemistry! And a perfect ending! Jennifer R

❤ One Perfect Match is the only movie I watched this weekend. I loved it! The chemistry between Merritt Patterson and Joshua Sasse was amazing. I don't recall seeing Joshua in another movie. It was a sweet story with no stress. It has all the good feels I enjoy. This movie will stay on my DVR. ~kitkat

❤ GAF's "One Perfect Match" is a family-friendly story about a professional matchmaker, Lucy, (Merritt Patterson) who falls for one of her clients, Finn (Joshua Sasse). Their mutual attraction is dampened by Lucy's policy of not dating one of her clients, and Finn's desire to support Lucy's efforts to find him his perfect match. The story drags a little, but Merritt Patterson's performance was outstanding as usual. ~MPT

❤ One Pefect Match was the best movie of not only the night but the weekend. The chemistry between Merritt and Joshua was off the charts.The story was the best Ansley Gordon has another hit. Loved song in the beginning and the at the end. GAC movies are getting better and better. ~Anonymous

❤ One Perfect Match was so sweet! -Maria

❤ Review: One Perfect Match -
Family-friendly? Yes -
Keeper? No
It wasn't hard to figure out exactly where this movie was going after the first meeting between the two leads. And the story was draaaaged out - it could easily have been told in half the time! I mean, how many times did Merritt's character wonder what to do or say something like, "I can't tell him - it's not ethical"?! And how many times did Joshua's character stumble over his words in trying to tell Merritt's character how he feels?! (And maybe it was just this role, but Joshua is not exactly the most dynamic actor.) I love Merritt, but this is one of her weaker movies. (I'm thinking (hoping) "Twas the Text Before Christmas" will be better.) So, way too predictable and too stretched-out for me to recommend it. ~Mark 25


❤ I LOVED One Perfect Match! Was it predictable and the plot has been done many times before, yes, but they did it better than most. Merritt and Joshua's chemistry was off the charts in my opinion and the entire cast rounded out well. I'm not a fan of matchmaking/online dating plots (the real world is not like that and it can be dangerous), so I came into the movie thinking this will probably not go over well with me, but sure enough, it was GOOD. I was smiling during most of the movie and it kept my attention throughout, which is a good thing. :-) ~ Debbie


❤ Hello to all of my friends here! I haven't seen "Come Fly with Me" yet but based on the stellar reviews, it sounds like I will be in for a treat. :-) However, my husband and I did watch "One Perfect Match". Yes, it was a storyline that has been done many times before but there was something about that movie that was magic. Merritt and Joshua were utterly delightful! They has sweet believable chemistry. They both have such beautiful smiles and the camera loves them! Plus, every single supporting actor/actress added so much to the storyline. Everyone was likeable and I had a smile on my face the entire movie. And, to top it all off, there was some nice scenery. All in all, a winner in my book. Definite keeper! One of my favorites so far this year. ~Joan


❤ One Perfect Match – This is a delightful romantic-comedy starring Merritt Patterson as Lucy Marks, a highly sought after Matchmaker who, to her dismay, falls in love with her newest client, Finn Grayson, played by the handsome, Joshua Sasse. Lucy is determined not to cross the ethical line between work and love, which becomes harder and harder to do as she gets to know Finn even more. I liked this movie the first time I watched it, but after a second watch while busy one late afternoon – and the TV happened to be on this in the background, I was drawn instantly in and enjoyed the story even more on the second watch. I love how the intro of the movie led with Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” song. The quality of this movie and the acting is top-notch quality. If you haven’t met or rather watched this family-friendly movie, yet, I absolutely recommend it! ~Net

Craft Me A Romance

Starring: Jodie Sweetin and Brent Bailey

Premieres: Saturday, September 23, 2023

Storyline: Nicole Borden (Sweetin), the owner of a quaint arts and crafts store called The Crafty Companion, is faced with an ultimatum when the owner of Mitchell’s Art and Craft Supplies (Bailey) tells her she must either sell her store or be forced out of business.

Movie Reviews:

🍁 Craft me a Romance was so sweet! Plus, the 1st new Christmas movie to air on Oct 21 will be: Destined 2: Christmas Once Again! -Maria

🍁 I watched Craft Me A Romance. It was ok, but not something I would watch again. The acting was so flat to me.. Misty

🍁 Craft Me a Romance – This movie definitely gives off that cozy Fall feeling; it’s lighthearted and easygoing, a simple feel-good movie. It’s easy to see the attraction develop between the leads, Nicole and Matthew, but I was a bit surprised to see how quickly he was thinking of marriage, when they had only been on a few dates. It was nice to see some crafting in the movie, but I thought there would be a lot more. Overall, Craft Me a Romance is family-friendly and an enjoyable one-time watch, at least. ~Net

A Harvest Homecoming

Previous title: Apples, Orchards, and Romance

Starring: Jessica Lowndes and Trevor Donovan

Premieres: Saturday, September 30, 2023

Storyline: In A Harvest Homecoming teacher Drew Granger (Donovan) accepts a temporary substitute job in his old hometown of Chestnut Hollow, Texas, where he meets Aiden, the proverbial new kid at school, desperate for a caring friend. While he would rather have taken a job anywhere else, Drew reconsiders Chestnut Hollow when he meets Lainie Abbott (Lowndes), the new manager of his parents' massive apple orchard and cider mill business, and more importantly, Aiden's mom.

Movie Reviews:

🍁 A Harvest Homecoming gets a perfect 5 stars from me! –Maria

🍁 I did watch "A Harvest Homecoming" all the way through. It was enjoyable but it will be a one-time watch for me. The music was lovely and I liked Trevor and Jessica together but I felt all of the fall decorations were over-the-top. It was too much. Finally, I got excited seeing a commercial for the upcoming Great American Family Christmas movie season. I can't believe it is only a few weeks away. Several of the holiday movies intrigue me. :-) ~Joan

🍁 A Harvest Homecoming - While the movie was lovely and the message was good, Trevor Donavan and Jessica Lowndes didn't seem to have the greatest chemistry. He was more invested in his son than her, which is good that he cared, but a little awkward. And while I loved the fall theme, the decorations were over the top. What 12 year old has fall decorations in their bedroom? The amount of fake leaves handing all over was a bit much. I have to say my favorite actor in the movie was Sarah Fisher. I hope to see more of her in the future! ~Jennifer R

🍁 GAF’s “A Harvest Homecoming” is family-friendly and a heartwarming film featuring a wonderful cast and over-the-top fall decorations. The chemistry between Trevor Donovan and Jessica Lowndes is genuine, and I especially liked the faith-based references throughout the story. I only wished Jessica and Trevor sang a duet together! ~MPT

🍁 I watched A Harvest Homecoming this weekend and it was a sweet movie. I loved all of the fall decor of course, the leaves, the amber colors, the pickup truck, the scenery, everything was beautiful. I think I liked the grandpa’s love story just as much as the main characters, he was so funny trying to impress that lady. Also loved the mom and dad, all the supporting characters were great. All in all great movie with a sweet relationship that blossomed. ~Paula
🍁 I absolutely loved "A Harvest Homecoming" it is family friendly and Trevor and Jessica were adorable! I loved the kid who played Jessica's son in the movie. Plenty of chemistry, and of course loved seeing all the fall foliage. I loved the storyline as well. ~Sarah

🍁 A Harvest Homecoming was okay. ~Namegirl

🍁 A Harvest Homecoming was a disaster. There was no chemistry between Trevor and Jessica. The story was missing something but not sure what. Jessica had a smile pasted on her face the entire time. I love both of these actors but they are not good together. As for the decorations, way too much! It was distracting. I love GAF, but this movie missed the mark for me. ~kitkat

🍁 A Harvest Homecoming was a one time watch for me. Chemistry was off between Jessica and Trevor. I like both actors but not together! And the decorations were hideous...way too many! Looked so fake! ~ Joyce in Carolina

🍁 A Harvest Homecoming – This Great American Family movie is family-friendly, faith-filled, and abundant with fall foliage! In fact, there are so many leaves (faux ones) hung about, that you may have to resist the urge to run to your garage to get your rake. Besides the leaves, which are (as others have mentioned) somewhat distracting, the story itself is sweet and heartwarming. I especially loved the Clark family, who not only ate meals together, but prayed together and sought God’s wisdom for their future. Those were beautiful, special spiritual touches to the film. The chemistry between teacher, Drew Clark (Trevor Donovan), and the mother of one of his students, Lainie (Jessica Lowndes), was a slow burn, but sweet enough for this family-friendly romantic comedy. It was nice to hear Trevor sing, but I wish Jessica, who also has a lovely voice, could’ve joined him. Overall, this is a lighthearted fall movie that I know I’ll enjoy watching again during the Autumn season. ~Net

Swing Into Romance

Starring: Danica McKellar, David Hayden-Jones and Gleb Savchenko

Premieres: Saturday, October 7, 2023

Storyline: When former dancer Christine Sims (McKellar) temporarily returns to her hometown in time for the town's fall festival, she discovers her family's general store is in trouble. In her efforts to save the business, Christine will need to dust off those dancing shoes one more time, face her ex-fiancė and maybe find love in the process (Hayden-Jones).

Movie Reviews:

🍁 My mini review of Swing Into Romance. Family friendly, funny and fun! The dance scenes were great & David did a great job. The daughter was adorable & I liked how they were working together from the start & not on opposite sides. ~Misty

🍁 So far, the only movie I have watched was 'Swing into Romance'. I liked the movie but I didn't love it as much as I had hoped. David and Danica had great chemistry and the dancing was phenomenal, but for some reason, overall the movie left me feeling empty. I can't put my finger on it but something was missing. ~Joan

🍁 I watched Swing Into Romance tonight and all I can say is “The leaves are back!” I’m sure everyone who hated all the leaves hung from everything in A Harvest Homecoming will just get a kick out of these 😂 looks like they recycled all those leaves for this movie….I was giggling throughout the movie as I saw them from scene to scene at the general store, the kitchen, his office, the dance practice, the bar, all throughout the town….Aside from the decor I thought the chemistry between Danica and David was nice and the daughter was cute. I’m not really into dancing movies so probably a one time watch for me. ~Paula

🍁 Swing into Romance is absolutely FANTASTIC! 😁 Absolutely highly recommend it! -Maria

🍁 Swing Into Romance was just okay for me. To be honest, I didn't like her co-star so this colors my opinion. Danica was fabulous and had more chemistry with Gleb than with David. I do think David was good with his dancing. Danica was better with Victor Webster on Matchmaker Mysteries than anyone else I have seen. ~kitkat

🍁 "Swing into Romance" was such a sweet and enjoyable movie. Leading actors were just great together and the girl playing a daughter was so adorable. I'm usually not into dance movies, but this one I liked very much. ~Oksanka~

🍁 I watched Swing into Romance too, it was pretty good. I didn't save it, but i love the fall feels and love Danica and DHJ together again. Only thing, it seemed hard to see DHJ character hurt, and it bothered me that he kept asking over and over if she wanted her old partner to dance instead. I get wanting to be sure she wins, but it was too much and made him look weak in my opinion. ~Sabrina

🍁 Swing into Romance – I just loved, loved, loved this lighthearted Fall movie from Great American Family! It was wonderful to see Danica McKellar and David Hadyn-Jones together in this. The script was phenomenal, and the way Danica and David brought these characters to life – was really something special! Spectacular!

I think I smiled the entire movie while watching. David, in particular, surprised me, by being so funny; several lines he delivered were mildly funny, but the way he said them, literally had me bursting with laughter.

And the little girl who played David’s daughter, I already adored her from When Hope Calls and A Merry Christmas Wish, but once again, she also shined in this! What a wonderful talent she is! She brought such a joyful sweet spirit to the movie; I loved watching the sweet back and forth bond between father and daughter.

Plus, Danica’s parents were wonderful, as well; several of their scenes together truly warmed my heart. I especially loved the moment when he grabbed her hand and they danced together in the middle of their store where they first met, not knowing if they would be able to keep it, but just glad they had each other. It was truly beautiful!

I can’t leave out in this review how fantastic Danica’s dancing was! She and David were an absolute joy to watch, but when she danced with Alex (played by Dancing with the Stars professional dancer, Gleb Savchenko), all I can say is WOW!!! Those two lit up the dance floor! And even though she and Gleb were awesome, the connection Danica and David had was even more beautiful to watch.

I wasn’t sure how Gleb would do with acting, since he’s a dancer and all, but he played Alex so naturally. He was truly great! I loved the way he and David were competitive with one another. It was really cute.

Swing into Romance is an absolute keeper for me! I loved it all! It truly got me in the spirit for Fall and dancing!

For me, Swing into Romance was the best Autumn movie premiere across all of the networks, and I look forward to watching it over and over again! ~Net


🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁


So many of the new Great American Family Autumn movies look great to me, including: A Harvest Homecoming, One Perfect Match, Swing into Romance, and Mystery By the Book! I'm still getting used to some of the new movie titles.

I was surprised to see that Jodie Sweetin would also be starring in one of the Fall movies. That is certainly interesting; I'm rather curious to know more about that. Based on the movie's poster, it looks like the perfect fall-themed movie with turning leaves, apples, and pumpkins.

Reminder: It's Monday Night at the Movies on Great American Family! See Jen Lilley Tonight in...

This one bears *repeating*...

Even though I included the movie, Love on Repeat, in my weekend movie post for it's Monday TV premiere, I thought it might be best to *REPEAT* it, since this is the launch of the Monday Night Movies on Great American Family from the Pure Flix streaming library!

Love on Repeat stars Jen Lilley and Andrew Lawrence in this romantic-comedy, which has been described as charming, family-friendly, and easy-going.

Storyline: Amber's (Jen Lilley) life is less than ideal. Recently split from the "perfect boyfriend," Amber is floundering, her on-the-job performance uninspired. When Amber starts re-living the same day over and over again, she realizes she is stuck in limbo and must finally decide what it will take to make her truly happy.

My thoughts... 

I know. I know. Some people don't love the whole movie fantasy of re-living the same day over and over again until the lead character gets it right.

Mostly, everyone thinks of the movie, Groundhog Day, when they think of this movie scenario, but for me, I think of some special Christmas movies, which may be unknown to some... Christmas Everyday (starring Erik Von Detten, which first aired in 1996 on the ABC Family channel), Pete's Christmas (starring Zachary Gordon and Bailee Madison, which aired on the Hallmark Channel in 2013 and kind of disappeared after that), and 12 Dates of Christmas (another film from ABC Family; this one stars Amy Smart and Mark-Paul Gosselaar; it premiered in 2011).

However, even though I think those *repeat the day* movies are fun, there are some movies with that basic storyline that drive me bonkers, like Hallmark's rom-com, I Do, I Do, I Do. Even though I love the lead actors, Autumn Reeser and Antonio Cupo in Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, I don't, I don't, (yes, it bears repeating three times) I don't like the movie, I Do, I Do, I Do.

Please note: While I have seen bits and pieces of the movie, Love on Repeat, I have not watched the entire film, yet. If you've seen it and would like to share a review, please do so in comments below.

Also, there are streaming options for Love on Repeat at Amazon, Pure Flix, Tubi, Plex, etc...

Happy Monday Night

I hope you all have a wonderful first weekend in August! As we transitioned from July to August, it was hard to say goodbye to Christmas in July movies airing on TV, but it won't be long now until the Christmas movies are back in late October.

I'm still trying to soak up Summer, though, and these sunshiny days, but it's been sooo hot here in the Midwest lately with high humidity. This weekend we are expecting some storms to go through, so I'm hoping that will cool things off a bit. Plus, we still certainly need the rain, so that is a blessing.

As far as TV goes this weekend, I'm most looking forward to the new Great American Family movie premiere, Romance at the Vineyard, and another new episode of Hallmark's When Calls the Heart. I'm quite curious about Nathan and Faith; are they or aren't they involved? Hearties fans, what do you think?

What are YOU watching this weekend? Please share in comments below.

Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies above. If you'd like to share a review after the movies air, please share in comments. Thank you!
