Romance with a Twist (2024 TV Movie)
10/10
Really Good Hallmark Movie! Jocelyn Hudon steals the movie!
28 January 2024
I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a really good movie. Jocelyn Hudon absolutely steals the movie as she does all her own dancing and stunts. Hallmark should sign her to a long time contract as she is different than the other Hallmark actresses. Instead of a formula where everyone is happy and always polite, they went in a different direction with this movie. Hallmark did a wonderful job showing Jocelyn Hudon's dancing abilities as she was trained in classical dance and they allow her to really show off her gorgeous moves. I am not sure there are any other actresses on the planet who could have pulled this movie off. I really liked it.

The most fun I've had in a theater in my 60 years!
14 October 2023
I didn't know what to expect as I am an older guy out on a date with my wife. We first noted that every girl was dressed up and was just so happy. When the film started, there was an excitement I've never experienced. Everyone was so happy. The film started and we soon realized this would be different than anything we've experienced. As soon as the music started, every girl in the theater started to sing. And, I mean sing loud. We looked at each other and wondered if it was just the first song. Nope. It wasn't the first song as it would be every single song after that. I've never experienced anything like this in a theater. It was so much fun and highly recommended.

Love in the Maldives (2023 TV Movie)
10/10
Amazing Location!
2 April 2023
Thinking this would be a run of the mill Hallmark movie, I was very pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the location was. Jocelyn was not only really good in this, she was simply gorgeous. And, for those who do not know, this was her husband, Jake Manley. It was funny how many people commented how good their chemistry was without realizing they were married in real life. This Hallmark movie was a breath of fresh air in a world were everything is negative. I really hope Hallmark signs her to a long term contract as she is wonderful. I think it is time to give her a leading role in a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Easily the Best Episode on TV in 10 Years!
8 February 2023
Listen, it isn't even close as this is the best episode of any show on tv in the last ten years. If it was a movie, it would be up for the best movie of the year. Let's start by saying Offerman will absolutely win the Emmy and it won't be close. His acting in this episode will go down in tv history as one of the greatest. In this day and age of just vanilla shows not trying to offend anyone, this episode had the courage to show what love really is in a time of horrible happenings. The love between them was real and lovely and drove this masterpiece. I rewatched it and it was better the second time. Yeah, the best in ten years!

Best Hallmark Movie of the Season!
2 January 2023
After being underwhelmed by Hallmark Christmas movies this year, I wasn't expecting much out of their first post-Christmas movie. I was wrong. Very wrong. This movie was well written, acted, and directed. It was thoughtful and never over the top and kept my attention for two hours. I thought the lead actress, Rebecca Dalton, did an especially good job in this very likable movie. Come to find out, she is the wife of one of my favorite Indy Car drivers, James Hinchcliffe. I think it was a very watchable movie that any dog lover will find enjoyment. Hallmark really did a nice job on this movie and I look forward to other new movies in 2023.

Haul Out the Holly (2022 TV Movie)
1/10
Maybe Hallmark's Worst Movie Ever!
3 December 2022
I was really excited as Lacey again got the prime spot for Christmas movies (The Saturday following Thanksgiving) and settled in to watch what looked like a fun Hallmark Christmas movie. Almost immediately, I noticed that they were talking way too fast and just responding to what was said without any natural delay. I hoped it was just for the opening of the movie, but it never went away. I thought, "Oh no!" they did it again to Lacey (My favorite Hallmark actress) after last year's disaster when she went to Ireland and made a turd of a movie. This movie never got better, in fact, it got worse as it went on. Two years ago, Lacey made one of the best Hallmark movies in "The Christmas Waltz" but has only made horrible movies since then. I rewatched this just in case my first viewing was wrong. It wasn't. Do better Hallmark!

Three Wise Men and a Baby (2022 TV Movie)
10/10
One of Hallmark's Best Movies Ever!
20 November 2022
Half way through this movie, I turned to my wife and said, "This is better than the original". It was funny, fresh, joyful, and just what a Hallmark movie should be. The three guys just nailed their parts and made this a really fun two hours. I also have to say, I don't remember the last time a movie made me laugh this much. It was just fun. While writing this review, my wife just asked if we can watch it again today since I recorded it. Hallmark got this right, I mean, they really got it right. In the running for 2022's Movie of the Year! It was that good! I can not recommend a movie any more than I do this one!

Embarrasing at Best!
16 November 2022
I love Jill Wagner and was so looking forward to this movie. Tuned in and was shocked about just about everything. She looks run down, just mailed in her lines, and everything about this movie was just terrible. I was hoping for a Hallmark Movies level of quality, but this was worse than awful. I was so disappointed in how bad this movie was: The plot, the acting, the scenery, the sets, the storyline, and just about everything. If this is the best that GAC can do, I really think Jill should go back to Hallmark! This movie was so poorly written and acted, I really don't know where GAC goes from here.

Totally Love This Movie!
31 July 2022
Not only is this movie incredible, I've learned more about whales tonight than I have in over 50 years. Hallmark is making first rate movies and I love them. This movie is worth watching just for the scenery. Really happy about this film!

Harmony from the Heart (2022 TV Movie)
1/10
Cringeworthy at Best
13 February 2022
I love this actress (Jessica Lowndes - who also wrote it) and actor (Jesse Metcalfe) and was so hoping this movie was going to be great. It started out downright silly and went downhill from there. The script is something a 13 year old would write for English class and was one cliche after another. While the premise is interesting, it was poorly executed in this movie. I feel that GAC spent all its money stealing actors away from Hallmark and now have no idea how to run a channel. Grandpa's role is so understated, that he seemed more in a coma than suffering from a stroke. I really wanted to like this, but even my wife spent most of it laughing at how bad it was. I can't believe they released it as it clearly needed more work and one scene does not flow into the next.

I really loved this movie as it worked on every level for me. Great acting by a number of people and wonderful sets. I've already watched it a number of times and it gets better each time.

2021's Best Movie of the Year!
2 January 2022
2021's Best Movie of the Year! Nikki DeLoach hits it out of the park in this one. This is not a simple Hallmark usual plot type of movie. In fact, the ending was incredibly profound and brought me to tears. So very very good.

Brilliant, Just Brilliant@

I really thought this would be a typical Hallmark movie, but boy I was wrong. Incredible acting by the lead actor that just really make this movie stand out. In fact, some of the best acting I've seen over the last few years. I really liked this movie and it worked on every level.

A warm and enjoyable movie
10 December 2021
I liked this movie although the plot was typical Hallmark. What stood out to me was the gorgeous Jocelyn Hudon who stole every scene she was in. I don't know why they didn't use her more as she is the star of this movie. I hope Hallmark uses her more!

Christmas at Castle Hart (2021 TV Movie)
5/10
Heartbreaking
28 November 2021
This movie not only worked on every level, it is heartbreaking since Lacey's sister in real life passed away a few days before this came out. She said how much this movie reminded her of her sister. Another brilliant performance from Lacey. Watch it, you will love it! My only complaint is the one who played her sister didn't work for me. A little too silly.

The Walking Dead: Here's Negan (2021)
Season 10, Episode 22
10/10
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
6 April 2021
Absolute 10/10 and I would say one of the greatest episodes in the history of any show. This was not a tv show, this was a masterpiece of story-telling. It explains everything you ever wanted to know about Negan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan will win every award you can get for a tv performance. He was brilliant! I've rarely seen better acting in my life. Just when you thought the show was losing some steam, Bam, they came back better than ever!

The Christmas Waltz (2020 TV Movie)
10/10
2020's Best Movie of the Year!
7 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
My pick for 2020's Best Movie of the Year. It also includes the best dance scene in Hallmark history. Chabert and Kemp dance down the street in a very "Singing In The Rain" inspired sequence that is absolutely breathtaking. I found this to go way beyond Hallmark movies in acting, script, dance, and scenery. I've watched it numerous times and fell in love with the chemistry between the two. This one demands a Part II for Christmas 2021! Loved it. Kemp can really dance.

Fantastic Film!
24 January 2021
In these troubled times, it is wonderful that we can escape for a couple hours from the real world. This movie worked in every way. The two main characters are extremely likable and have great chemistry. Just a fun two hours. Another job well done by Hallmark. They have really hit their stride this year.

*For all those who say "Older woman, young man" - They are the SAME AGE!

My favorite film of the last 15 years!
11 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The movie was perfect from start to finish and I've watched it at least ten times. And, it has my favorite scene ever: We get to see an old John and it brought tears to my eyes. Just a brilliant film. I'm guessing anyone under 40 doesn't get it, but for those of us who fell in love because of the Beatles, it is brilliant.

Mr. Mayor (2021–2022)

Horrific!
11 January 2021
This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. The writing is as bad as it can get. Nothing funny at all, terrible characters, everyone is hyper, and just a waste of time. What were they thinking when they approved this show? Oh, what has happened to Holly Hunter? As the pilot ended, my wife said, "This is the worst show I've ever watched." I agreed with her.

Worst movie ever on Hallmark Channel
17 May 2020
First, I am probably Hallmark Channel's biggest fan. I love their movies and watch them all the time. Some are better than others, but I usually find that I really like them. This however, was terrible, just awful. Everything about it was unwatchable. The scenery, the plot, the acting, the actors and actresses, and filming. I was so disappointed in it. A total waste of a Saturday night.
