Take the Movie Quiz on Hallmark's "Country at Heart," Listen to the Song They Perform, & Hear What Fans Are Saying

Starring:  Jessy Schram, Niall Matter, and Lucas Bryant Released:  2019 Summary:  A struggling country singer stumbles across a Nashville songwriter in need of some inspiration, so they decide to work together to write a song. Image:  Crown Media Needing a Hit is a Metaphor for Hallmark Hallmark set the bar high by providing its audience with hit movie after hit movie for many years--until recently.  The year 2020 started strong with Winterfest and Love Ever After, but by Spring Fling, Romance in the Air, and the beginning of Fall Harvest, many of the premieres left viewers disappointed.   Some might blame the downturn on COVID-19, but the timing also coincides with the departure of Bill Abbott as CEO of Crown Media, who left early 2020 after serving 11 years.  Once Abbott left, Hallmark hurt its brand by becoming too politically correct.  Grady Connor's (Matter) career depends on him writing a hit song, as much as Duke Sterling's career hinges on a hot, new release.  Their

Can You Ace This QUIZ On Hallmark's "Harvest Love?"

Starring:  Jen Lilley and Ryan Paevey Released:  2017 Summary:  When a widowed doctor visits her family's orchard in an effort to reconnect with her son, she soon finds herself getting closer to the farm's manager. Image:  Crown Media Juggling Kids And A Career Luna Gilson is a top surgeon at Seattle West Hospital, and she's up for the promotion of her life.  The nature of her work requires her to be on call 24/7 and spend countless hours at work, often sacrificing sleep to take care of her patients. The biggest drawback to Luna's success is missing so many important moments with her son, Andy.  Soccer games, school plays, the spelling bee--Andy no longer mentions them to her because he knows she'll be too busy to come.   Luna relies on a sitter and often returns home too late to have dinner with her son or tuck him in at night.   Does your heart break a little when you watch this?   Kids are young for such a short time--it's a season of your life you don'

Thoughts on Hallmark's "Falling for Look Lodge"

Starring:  Jonathan Keltz and Clark Backo Released:  2020 Summary:  A woman who aspires to work as a hotel event coordinator is given an opportunity by helping a hotel guest work on the final touches for his sister's wedding. Image:  Crown Media Fans Love the Scenery & the Autumn Elements Falling for Look Lodge has some seasonal components Hallmark fans are happy to see--fall leaves on the ground, colorful trees, pumpkins, fall wreaths and garlands, hay bales, a bonfire, s'mores, and pumpkin spice lattes.   The movie was filmed in Canada, with most scenes being shot at Strathmere Retreat in Ottawa.  The favorite lookout point and the gorgeous trails should inspire us all to take a fall hike to savor the sights of this beautiful season. Nerdy Is Not the New Sexy When Hallmark vowed to become more inclusive, who knew they meant replacing stud muffin leading men with awkward and unmanly types like Noah (Jonathan Keltz)?  The irony here is that Hallmark endeavors to combat st

Hallmark's "Moonlight in Vermont"--A QUIZ, A Poll, Fun Facts About Syrup, & the Book

Starring:   Lacey Chabert and Carlo Marks Released:  2017 Summary:   After a breakup, an upscale real estate agent visits her family's inn in Vermont to rest and rethink things, but her ex shows up with a new girlfriend. Image:  Crown Media Happy Couples Upset Fiona It's funny how our personal circumstances give us tunnel vision.  If you're trying to have a baby, you notice everyone who is pregnant or pushing strollers.  It seems like everyone you talk to has the perfect job when you are miserable in yours and can't find a better one.  When you're struggling with health issues, you see everyone jogging or walking their dogs, making you feel isolated in your pain.   Nate grows weary of just being one more thing Fiona has to juggle in her busy schedule.  Fiona should have seen this coming, but when he ends their relationship, she's gutted.  Even as time ticks on, she knows exactly how many weeks, days, and hours it has been since they parted ways.   Everywhere

Many Fans Disappointed By Hallmark's "Follow Me to Daisy Hills"

Starring:  Cindy Busby and Marshall Williams Released:  2020 Summary:  A woman faces uneasy feelings when her father tries to save their failing family general store by calling in her ex-boyfriend for some help. Image:  Crown Media Cindy Busby and Marshall Williams Aren't Powerful Leads We Hallmark fans have our favorite leading Hallmark actors, and when they star in a new movie, we can watch them over and over.  My favorite is Lacey Chabert, and I never grow tired of her.  For you, it may be someone else. Across the board, Cindy Busby does not have a strong appeal with the Hallmark fan base. Ryan Paevey groupies enjoyed her in the Mr. Darcy movies, but when she popped up in consecutive seasonal releases-- A Godwink Christmas:  Meant for Love, Love in the Forecast, Romance in the Air, and now Follow Me to Daisy Hills-- fans are losing enthusiasm for movies where she's the lead. Why can't Busby win over Hallmark fans?  She's cute, upbeat, and her acting performance is pr
