Unexpected Grace (2023 TV Movie)

Great movie, but tearjerker

[10/10 · 3 April 2023]

Wonderful movie. The story was fantasic, the acting was fantastic. Pretty much a constant tearjerker combined with laughter. Wonderful story about two families who have been devastated by grief but try to move on and find happiness and friends.

Nice story of a girl who has lost her mother and is trying to make friends due to her move in the middle of the school year. She finds a balloon from someone also looking for a friend. She ends up making friends with the mother and finds a family.

Realistic.plot, no great surprises, but beautiful and moving. So glad to see Michael Rady back in a Hallmark movie.

Noel Next Door (2022 TV Movie)

Loved This Movie

[10/10 · 3 January 2023]

Natalie Hall and Corey Sevier were both wonderful in this movie. Natalie Hall's character plays a single mother whose ex doesn't pay child support and her son is acting out. Corey Sevier plays a cuumbersome who is plagued with illness and a bad temper. The son is a pain who torments Corey Sevier and makes Corey Sevier even nastier. Corey Sevier and Natalie Hall form a bond unknowing her son is doing all these things. Additionally it is sad to see how negatively people react to Corey Sevier's physical ailments, but Natalie Hall is so accepting. Beautiful story of love and acceptance at Christmas.

Haul Out the Holly (2022 TV Movie)

Boring

[2/10 · 28 November 2022]

I wanted so much like this movie. Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown, yeah. The commercials were so funny and cute. The movie started out slow. I thought it will pick up with the funny scenes. The funny scenes were not funny. 😢😢. Melissa Peterman, whom I love, not funny.

The story was boring. My husband literally fell asleep after thirty minutes. I finally stopped after sixty minutes. I just couldn't take it any longer.

This has been the latest of disappointing movies.with Lacey Chabert. Groundswell and Wedding Vail, so boring. Hopefully her movies will improve. Love Lacey, always try to watch her movies.

A wasted hour.

Love, Classified (2022 TV Movie)

Really Good Movie

[10/10 · 20 April 2022]

I'll say up front that I'm not wild about same sex romances, but this movie was so well done, the acting was awesome, the story was great. The romance were tasteful. I laughed throughout the whole movie and cried at the end.

Welcome to Mama's (2022 TV Movie)

Cute Movie

[8/10 · 19 March 2022]

Wasn't expecting to like this movie, but the story was good, the flashbacks with Lorraine Bracco were good and the food was awesome. Really liked the scenery. The actors did a good job.

The Great Christmas Switch (2021 TV Movie)

Cute Move

[9/10 · 6 January 2022]

Was worried this would be a Swiched for Christmas repeat, but was very different and a lot more deep story. Sarah Lind was excellent. Feel good movie. Love GAC doing these family friendly movies.

Sister Swap: Christmas in the City (2021 TV Movie)

Hmm

[4/10 · 16 December 2021]

The first movie of the two was definitely better. The storyline wasn't bad, but overall to have an interracial couple and a gay couple seemed unnecessary. It seemed like Hallmark just needed to do a woke movie.

Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday (2021 TV Movie)

Pretty Good

[8/10 · 16 December 2021]

Really like both the Williams sisters. This movie was fairly entertaining with a wholesome theme, in the whole. Scenery was nice, but definitely not Utah. Overall pleasurable movie.

Every Time a Bell Rings (2021 TV Movie)

Great Movie

[10/10 · 13 December 2021]

I'll say upfront I'm not wild about LGBTQIA, but this story was so endearing. Actors and story was so heartfelt. Quite the tearjerker. I'm hoping was a sequel.

A Dickens of a Holiday! (2021 TV Movie)

Good Movie

[9/10 · 13 December 2021]

Actors were great. Story was great. Giving it a 9 instead of 10 because Brooke and Kristoffer warehouse chemistry, but no Jill Wagner quality chemistry.

You, Me & the Christmas Trees (2021 TV Movie)

Good Movie

[8/10 · 13 November 2021]

Good story. Good actors. Not the best Hallmark movie, but enjoyable. Enjoyed the family situatios. Loved Danica being her typical smart math self. Don't have much else to say. Trying to reach the 150 character limit.

Christmas in Harmony (2021 TV Movie)

Great Movie

[10/10 · 2 November 2021]

I'm not a big gospel fan, so I wasn't expecting much. But great music, acting and story. Funny. Highly recommend. Laughed through the entire movie. Would watch again.

Love Strikes Twice (2021 TV Movie)

Funny, good acting and well written

[10/10 · 27 October 2021]

This movie was funny and quirky. The acting was great. Kate Findlay did a great job. The storyline was interesting and sweet. Plan to watch this again.

Finding Love in Mountain View (2020)

Liked this movie

[9/10 · 3 October 2021]

Was worried I wouldn't like this movie since I thought it would be a Sweet Carolina movie. But it was really good. Good actors, good storyline.

Taking the Reins (2021 TV Movie)

Good Movie

[7/10 · 29 September 2021]

Cast was great. Story was great. Nikki Deloach and Scott Porter were wonderful. Really hope Hallmark does more with Scott Porter.

Having growing up riding and jumping, some of those scenes weren't great, but it's a movie.

Her Pen Pal (2021 TV Movie)

Couldn't Finish

[9/10 · 27 June 2021]

Was really looking forward to this movie since Mallory Jansen was so good in 12 Dates of Christmas. She was good in this movie, but this movie was so boring, I couldn't finish it.

Sand Dollar Cove (2021 TV Movie)

Good Movie

[9/10 · 27 June 2021]

Loved the storyline. The actors did a good job. Believable drama. Good scenery.

Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Til Death Do Us Part (2021 TV Movie)

Another Good One

[9/10 · 15 June 2021]

This one was suspenseful and funny. Really liked it. Missed Lynn though.

Good Witch: The Delivery (2021) Season 7, Episode 3

Worst Episode Ever

[2/10 · 31 May 2021]

I have seen every Good Witch movie and episode, at least once. Bad flash backs. Abigail was not a high powered as executive when Cassie was pregnant. She lived Middleton and was a pain in the neck to everyone. The young Grace doesn't even look like Bailee Madison.

Not happy with the direction the Joy character is going in her personal life. The show has always been a sweet show. Don't change the the show now.

It Was Always You (2021 TV Movie)

Will not disappoint

[10/10 · 1 March 2021]

Great acting and great chemistry. Sweet and funny story. Highly recommend.

Snowkissed (2021 TV Movie)

Boring and Disappointing, but Beautiful Scenery

[8/10 · 31 January 2021]

Update: I initially a gave this movie 4 rating, but I have it another chance because I like the actors so much. It really grew on me. Once I realized Jen Lilley's character is supposed to be that way, I found the whole thing fubny.

Original: The scenery was beautiful. I really was looking forward to this movie since I really like Jen Lilley and Chris McNally and the commercias were good. The Jen Lilley character was so whiny. Amy Groening and Rodrigo Beifuss were the best part of the movie.

NCIS: Sturgeon Season (2020) Season 18, Episode 1

Confusing

[5/10 · 20 November 2020]

It was good to see the NCIS folks again, but this episode was odd. Fornell is acting crazy and what's with pony tail? The lead in didn't match the story.

Follow Me to Daisy Hills (2020 TV Movie)

Wanted to like

[9 November 2020]

Really like Cindy Busby, but this movie was so bad, I couldn't get through it. Cindy's character whined and yelled a lot. Got old fast.

Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater (2020 TV Movie)

Cute and Funny

[10/10 · 9 November 2020]

I laughed throughout the entire movie. Good story and good acting.

Friend Request (2014 TV Movie)

Cute and funny movie

[10/10 · 22 January 2020]

Kept me laughing the entire movie. Good story. Good actors.
