Wedding Belles (2016)

Image
Directed by  Gary Yates Story by  Les Alexander and Rob Gilmer Teleplay by Rob Gilmer  and Julie Sherman Wolfe DANICA MCKELLAR has always been beautiful, but she was extra lovely in this made for TV movie.  She and KAVAN SMITH looked good together, and I must say that they also looked naturally attracted, and later in love with one another. Those who hate that the couple only gets to kiss each other in the end would be happy to know that Kavan and Danica...I mean, Nick and Molly, shared kisses more than once. The flow of the story was smooth, and I particularly enjoyed the presence of Mr. BRUCE BOXLEITNER. The "other" couple in this movie was played by CHRISTOPHER RUSSELL and TAMMY GILLIS.  They are both seasoned actors and did their respective parts well. I just had a minor issue between Mr. Smith and Mr. Boxleitner.  I didn't see any resemblance between them.  Thankfully, I remembered that the mom, Clarissa, wasn't show...

Love at the Christmas Table (2012)

Image
Director: Rachel Lee Goldenberg Writer: Dayan Ballweg (screenplay by) (as Patrick J. Hobby) What?  Another "My childhood friend is my soulmate!" type of movie.  Haven't I had enough? Thankfully I did not look for another thing to view the day that I watched this because I would have missed this gem of a made for TV movie. This movie is truly audio-visual, and it is advisable to really watch and LISTEN to everything they say.   Miss Havisham in Great Expectations: Description & Character Analysis Words getting in the way is an understatement for this movie, and there's that "thing" called pride too... ...well, maybe there's that "thing" called perfect timing too. Hmm...Which is which?   Would you just let someone get away?  Would you let the ship sail to the Bermuda Triangle?  What if you kept waiting for the perfect timing, but it never happens?  Why don't you just take the risk rather than watching from...

Love in Design (2018)

Image
Hannah McElroy is the host of Los Angeles based Love in Design, a nationally broadcast home renovation show, where she completes one home renovation per episode. Hannah's design style is modern, she seeing it as not having any design boundaries to whatever the possibilities for a space. Despite strong albeit slightly declining ratings after four years, Wally, the head of the network, wants to try a different format, where Hannah will do a more extensive renovation over several episodes, the first taking Hannah back to her small New England home town of Lewisburg to renovate the historic Lewisburg Manor, the owner, Margot, wanting to convert it into a bed and breakfast. Hannah would have five weeks to complete the renovation, Margot wanting a specific completion date to reopen for the manor's sesquicentennial. Despite this renovation not being up Hannah's alley being a historic building, she has no other option but to agree to appease Wally and the network. Also hired for ...

Crown For Christmas (2015)

Image
This is from Amazon.com Directed by  Alex Zamm Written by Neal H. Dobrofsky  and Tippi Dobrofsky First things first:  In the version I saw Allie(DANICA MCKELLAR) has only one brother(ROLLO SKINNER) and one sister(ROSE NEVILLE).  The King is not named Ryland, but Maximilian(RUPERT PENRY-JONES).    Maybe it's the surname of the Royal Family, but I wouldn't know for sure. The story may not be totally new, but I love it.  It's one of the best of its kind. It may be considered a fairy tale, but at the very least I like how they met and what transpired after that meeting. COLIN MCFARLANE was so good in being King's bully that I almost hated him, but thankfully I remembered he was only acting. Thankfully, the King knows his place and he didn't allow the chancellor to bully him much longer. Yes, there were too many movies like this, and maybe I could include the Au Pair series, even if Gregory Harrison's role wasn't really...

Campfire Kiss (2017)

Image
Both images are from imdb Feeling disconnected with her teenage son, a protective mother decides to step outside of her comfort zone and take him camping. But as soon as she arrives, she begins butting heads with her handsome cabin neighbor, a single father and outdoorsman who is also in search of a connection with his teen daughter. Friction soon sparks a flame as these opposites attract. Stars Danica McKellar and Paul Greene. — Hallmark Channel THE MOVIE Directed by James Head Written by Rick Suvalle and Scott Svelosky DANICA MCKELLAR as Dana, the overprotective mother, was her usually very perky personna in this made for TV movie.  Is she typecast or what?  It's a good thing that she really has good chemistry with PAUL GREENE.  The two have been in at least one other movie together.  Here, he plays Steve, a divorcé. I really enjoyed their adventures and misadventures in this movie.  I also liked how they both reconnected with their teen...

Coming Home For Christmas (2017)

Image
Google Images Lizzie Richfield lands a job as house manager for the exquisite Ashford Estate in the Virginia countryside. While preparing the place for sale, Lizzie plans one final Christmas Eve gala for the family, although they seem to be a family in name only. Initial release: 18 November 2017 (USA) Director: Mel Damski Original release: November 18, 2017 Based on: Coming Home for Christmas by Jenny Hale Original network: Hallmark Channel Produced by: Harvey Kahn It's seldom...well, close to rare...that I find a film where 100% of the people surveyed loved it.  This movie is one of those rarities that it piqued my interest. Unfortunately, some critics and reviewers think otherwise.  To each his own. This made for TV movie is based on the beloved Novel by Jenny Hale of the same title.  Instead of Allie, the lead character of this movie is nicknamed Lizzie, played by Danice McKellar. I have not read Jenny Hale's masterpiece just yet, but ma...

Perfect Match (2015)

Image
Google Images Forced to work together, two wedding planners learn that opposites can produce the most unexpected results. Initial release: 20 June 2015 Directed by Ron Oliver Written by Patricia Resnick  Original release: June 20, 2015 Executive producer(s): Harry Winer; Fernando Szew; Kim Arnott; Robyn Snyder Music composed by: Peter Allen Eversince THE WONDER YEARS Danica McKellar has been very busy.  She starred in a Sci-Fi movie called HEATSTROKE with D.B. Sweeney in 2008 and she has been a favourite voice for video games, among other things.   It's nice that she is not stuck in one genre acting wise because I truly enjoyed this heartwarming movie about a woman who has been crashed and burned, but she still believes in love. I can really relate to Jessica(Danica's role) because besides being crashed and burned several times, I too still believe in love.  I was also an events, wedding and kiddie party planner sometime ago, and ...
