A Magical Christmas Village (2022 TV Movie)

Surprisingly good! Charming and quirky.....

[7/10 · 5 November 2022]

Okay let's all say it on the count of 3 and get it out of systems.....Marlo Thomas' facelift.....awful and distracting! Enough said! Really enjoyed the movie and was engaged throughout...,not sure where it was going. Beautifully photographed and thoroughly enjoyed Marlo Thomas as the quirky and hip Grandma. What is most interesting is that the romance of the lead characters takes a back seat to Grandma story. Like the casting and well written too. The endings final moments left me a bit short changed. Enjoy and welcome back to TV That Girl or I should say That Grandma !!! Happy holidays to all!!

Wedding of a Lifetime (2022 TV Movie)

Cringeworthy and juvenile!

[3/10 · 18 September 2022]

Okay Hallmark we get it already! This latest abomination from the newly created Hallmark is flat out cringeworthy! Obviously trying to be politically correct, nothing subtle here folks!

The silly, stupid, and juvenile script makes me wonder who is steering the ship at Hallmark!?

The leads have no chemistry whatsoever and the rest of the wasted supporting cast was left with little to do or say. Casting is such a huge part of the success of a film and once again Hallmark misses its target.

From the fake exterior autumn foliage inserted throughout to give that Fall feeling, to the lousy wigs, simply backfired! Add all these elements up and I found myself so distracted that watching and enjoying the movie proved impossible! I miss the good ole days when watching a Hallmark movie consisted of a good story, cast, laugh, and a cry!!

Color My World with Love (2022 TV Movie)

A Refreshing and Captivating Story from Hallmark!

[8/10 · 13 June 2022]

I really enjoyed this Hallmark movie. There is so much to like and explore but The one scene that really pulled at my heart strings was with the Sales Lady in the Bridal Shop. The honesty and level of forgiveness really elevated an already touching script. We can all learn from that scene. The leads were simply charming and gave wonderful and honest performances. I can't remember a time when I actually cared about the characters....everything just comes together for a special and well directed film by Peter ( I am in everything Hallmark produces) Benson.

Enjoy and cheers!!

Reap What You Sew: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery (2018 TV Movie)

Can we say Poppy just one more time?!

[5/10 · 9 October 2021]

This episode is unwatchable once you realize every other word spoken is "Poppy"!! Poppy this, Poppy that...won't give anything away but come on people enough is enough!! This installment just might outdo "Carol Ann" from Poltergeist 3!! Good luck making it through the 2 hour "Poppy fest". Ugh!!

Don't Go Breaking My Heart (2021 TV Movie)

Finally!

[7/10 · 28 March 2021]

Finally a Hallmark movie that showcased the best for Italia Ricci acting skills!! Looking refreshed, confident, and working with a solid script, italia own the role of breakup boot camp leader Miranda. Cute original story that is interesting yet charming! Enjoyable and fun! 7 stars.

Romance in the Air (2020 TV Movie)

What in the holy hot air ballon mess is this??

[1/10 · 2 August 2020]

This was painful to watch! The absolute worst script! The actors were struggling to fill in time with utter nonsense! The lead actor looked nervous and wooden not knowing what to do next! I felt the entire cast was just not into it. The ending was a complete mess that truly defied a relationship breakup! Come on Hallmark, the formula is getting old real fast! Time to start really examining scripts and cast before production begins! Boring and juvenile!

Just My Type (2020 TV Movie)

Michael's called and they want their silk flowers back!

[7/10 · 10 April 2020]

The set or art director went overboard on the Spring silk flowers that littered nearly every scene! It became so distracting that it was hard to focus on the film! Obviously filmed in January or February for Spring. Like many of the Holiday films, cheap and overdone decor are a staple of Hallmark movies..... invest in better props and less is more! Other than that, cute story and well acted by the leads.
