Love in Store Hallmark Movie Review

"Love in Store" starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Robert Buckley, is a feel-good movie for the forever hopeless romantic. Of course, it is predictable, but sometimes predictability is what you desire. No mystery solving "little grey cells" required. No fear of a horrifying moment that will make your heart jump or your skin crawl. Just a sweet romantic movie full of witty banter you can sit back, watch and enjoy.

The plot of the movie is based on an online shopping store reminiscent of The Home Shopping Network. HSN preceded Amazon.com and other online stores by a decade. You could, and still can, watch the entertaining hosts of HSN demonstrate products on TV and select the fabulous products you want from the comfort of your own home. Most likely, we all know someone who had boxes filled with their purchases arriving at their home weekly long before daily deliveries became commonplace.

In retrospect, it is rather funny to think back to those original "influencers" who seemed more like friends visiting us through our television. As a matter of fact, we actually had one family member who chatted about the hosts by name in conversations as if we all knew them personally. She completely trusted them to give her the best product recommendations.

Love in Store Movie Synopsis

Love in Store
DVD or Prime VideoCheck PriceTerrie Carpenter and David Crabtree are hosts on the "Shopping from Home" channel. They each have their own separate segments, hosting style, and regular "shoppers".

When the top selling host, Sharyn St. Clair, announces her retirement, the competition begins between Terrie and David to replace her in her prime-time spot. Their rivalry is obvious as they openly trade barbs with each other.

Then, the unthinkable happens: they get thrown together to co-host a program when Terrie's regular co-host has to take unexpected leave. Turns out, their witty exchanges are popular with the audience, which causes both of their ratings, viewership, and sales to go up.

There is "love in store" for these two, as sparks fly in more than one way between Terrie and David. They both end up asking each other David's online catch phrase, "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Timeless Love (2019) - Hallmark Movie Review

I really enjoy watching romantic movies even though they are often predictable. Like childhood fairy tales, I think most of us want a happy ending where they all live happily ever after. However, I do love it when the movie has an unusual plot.

The "Timeless Love" movie plot did not disappoint.

Many of us know how it feels to meet someone and become instant friends because we feel an immediate connection. However, it would be rare to meet someone for the first time and know our future together because we have already "lived" it.

This movie is not based on a victim with amnesia, as one might think. The main character is not a seer, psychic, fortune teller or "predictor" of any kind. And, she is not mentally unstable. She is simply an accident victim that is in a coma for two months and lives a different life while unconscious. More like a prolonged dream that feels very real. So real, that when she wakes from the coma, she is looking for her missing loved ones that don't exist in reality. We can almost feel her pain as she grieves the loss of the family she mentally had during her comatose state.

It doesn't help when those around her think she might need psychiatric help when she shares her experience.

Timeless Love Movie Synopsis

Timeless LoveCheck Price

After being in a car accident, Megan is in a coma for 2 months. While in her comatose state, she sees her husband, Thomas and two children. She is extremely happy with her life and doesn't even realize she is not "living" her life.

When she wakes from her coma, the hospital calls her parents and she can't help but wonder why her husband and children are not there to see her. When her parents tell her that she is single, has never been married or had children, she is devastated by the loss of her sweet family.

In addition to having to come to terms with reality, she also lost her job. Because of the length of time she was in a coma, they had to replace her. The temporary employment agency sends her to work at a photography studio and she is stunned to discover she knows everything about the owner. After all, she was/is married to him. Of course, she is a total stranger to him.

The Hallmark movie, "Timeless Love" starring Rachel Skarsten and Brant Daugherty is one of several movies that claims that name. It would be very easy to search for the title and end up watching the wrong movie, or at least not the movie you intended to watch.

Three Wiser Men And A Boy Hallmark Movie Review

Hallmark's Three Wiser Men And A Boy is a sequel to Hallmark's very successful Three Wiser Men And A Baby in 2022. The original was the most watched Hallmark movie in 2022 and fans were eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Time fast forwards five years from the end of the original movie; hence, 'and a baby' becomes 'and a boy'. In the original movie, three brothers with the help of their mother take on caring for an abandoned newborn during the holidays. Comedy prevails as the bachelor brothers accept their mission with limited skills. In the interim between original and sequel, the baby is a member of the family.

The school Christmas musical plays a pivotal role in the storyline as the brothers volunteer their talents to save the musical the Hallmark way!

The Hallmark A Team

Hallmark fans will immediately recognize the three stars: Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell and Tyler Hynes. Each are Hallmark favorite actors who are on the top of the list of popular Hallmark films. Hallmark star Kimberly Sustad makes a small cameo as her contribution to this film is as a writer.

Margaret Colin plays the mother of the three brothers and is a welcome addition with comedic flair and a seasoned pro of film and television.

The Chemistry

The chemistry between the three brothers and Colin as the mother definitely shines in this movie. Each brother has a definite and different personality lane, but it is the chemistry between all which helps ensure a successful Hallmark movie. The storyline with the mothers' boyfriend and his interactions with the brothers and the musical was not particularly believable, but the great chemistry between the rest of the cast overshadows the minor boyfriend storyline.

The Writers

The same team which wrote Three Wiser Men And A Baby (who coincidentally happen to be on the Hallmark A team actor list) also wrote Three Wiser Men And A Boy. Paul Campbell stars in both movies and Kimberly Sustad has a supporting role in each movie also. Russell Hainline also cowrote the second movie.

Which Movie Is Better?

That is the inevitable question! Which Do You Prefer? Does It Matter?

Both movies are very enjoyable and worth bookmarking for the holidays. The storylines are not apples to apples. The first movie does have the benefit of viewers tuning in not knowing what to expect and finding great chemistry between the actors. Hallmark fans report the original is a movie they will rewatch multiple times. The sequel has the benefit of viewers coming to watch because of the proven chemistry and success of the original.

Don't Miss This Holiday Movie! Love The Coopers

The Storyline of the Movie "Love the Coopers"

Narrated by the family dog, Rags (voiced by Steve Martin), the film takes a whimsical yet insightful perspective, making it stand out among holiday movies.

"Love the Coopers" unfolds during a chaotic Christmas Eve, when four generations of the Cooper family gather to celebrate the holiday.

Each family member brings their own baggage—strained relationships, life struggles, and unspoken truths—which set the stage for both humor and heartfelt moments.

The mood is a balance of lighthearted humor and poignant realism, as it captures the messiness and unpredictability of family life. What struck me most was how authentic the film felt—highlighting both the love and dysfunction that can coexist in any family.

The Cast - An Impressive Ensemble of Actors and Actresses

"Love the Coopers" boasts a stellar cast that brings the story to life:

Diane Keaton is Charlotte Cooper, the family matriarch determined to create the perfect Christmas but is questioning her marriage.
John Goodman is Sam Cooper, Charlotte's husband, who also questions their relationship after forty years but wants to keep going and trying.
Ed Helms as Hank, their son, who is struggling with divorce and unemployment.
Olivia Wilde as Eleanor, their daughter, a playwright hiding her loneliness with sarcasm.
Alan Arkin as Bucky, Charlotte's father, whose bond with a young waitress (played by Amanda Seyfried) adds a touch of warmth.
Marisa Tomei as Emma, Charlotte's quirky sister.
Anthony Mackie as Officer Williams, a reserved cop who crosses paths with Emma.
June Squibb is Aunt Fishy, the family's elder relative.
Timothée Chalamet as Charlie, Hank’s teenage son navigating young love.
Jake Lacy is Joe, a soldier who spontaneously connects with Eleanor.

This ensemble cast brilliantly portrays the complexities of their characters, making each storyline engaging and relatable.

Why I Love This Movie

What I love most about "Love the Coopers" is how it delivers a moving holiday message despite the family's apparent dysfunction.

It's not a Hallmark-style movie with a picture-perfect family but rather a story that feels real and grounded. Each character's perspective adds depth, and we begin empathizing with their struggles and triumphs.

The ending truly stayed with me—a beautifully unexpected moment of joy in an unexpected place that brought everyone together and reminded us what the holidays are all about.

Christmas Novels Review

Holiday themes are always popular novel subjects, especially around Christmas Time. It is the perfect time of year for stories of love and romance, hope and happiness.

In addition to the classic reads, such as A Christmas Carol and ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, many authors publish Christmas novels for your holiday reading enjoyment and for gift-giving.

Debbie Macomber and Christmas

Perhaps the most well known author to bring out new Christmas novels is Debbie Macomber. She has earned the title of “the official storyteller of Christmas” by virtue of her annual Christmas books. Six of these stories have been made into original Hallmark Channel movies.

A Christmas Duet Synopsis

Debbie Macomber’s 2024 Christmas novel, A Christmas Duet, is her latest story for this holiday season.

A Christmas Duet

Hailey Morgan is an assistant high school band teacher in Portland, Oregon. Hailey’s life has always revolved around music. She once hoped to make a living composing her own songs, but the reality of life changed that.

As holiday time draws near, Hailey dreads having to again spend Christmas with her meddling family. When her close friend offers a family cabin, empty this time of year, for a solo retreat, Hailey decides it is time to do something to make herself happy.

Hailey arrives at her friend's cabin in a small Washington town, expecting a peaceful getaway. However, her plans are initially disrupted when she discovers that the cabin is unexpectedly inhabited by several wild animals.

Lucky for Hailey, the local mayor’s son - Jay - is very willing to help make the cabin livable. Jay is charming and also happens to be a former musician.

It doesn’t take long before Hailey and Jay are inseparable, enjoying holiday traditions together. They chop down a tree and decorate it while sipping hot cocoa in front of a cozy fire. They also spend time playing music together and, with Jay’s encouragement, Hailey begins to believe she might yet succeed as a songwriter.

Hailey is truly enjoying her snow-dusted oasis at the cabin, but her family’s holiday drama interrupts her newfound peace. Also, Jay reveals some things that present complications of their own.

With challenges and complications interrupting her Christmas paradise, Hailey has to learn to stand up for herself and find a way to embrace the holiday spirit.

Summary

Debbie Macomber’s Christmas novel “A Christmas Duet” puts us in the festive spirit. The magic of Christmas becomes a part of the plot and captures the essence of the holiday season. A delightful holiday read.

Autumn at Apple Hill - Hallmark Movie Review

In true Hallmark style, Autumn at Apple Hill is a sweet story that takes place in a beautiful setting with an adorable couple that fall in love. Even though the plot is predictable, the movie is fun to watch.

This movie reminds us how things change in spite of us longing to hold on to the past. Familiar stores that we grew up shopping in, close down for a variety of reasons or change ownership and are no longer the same even if they carry the same name. Businesses like restaurants, recreation areas, and locally owned motels are shuttered. In some cases, our old high school buildings are left vacate as students and classrooms are moved to a new location. Friends move away and others pass away. It is the normal cycle of life.

The yearning for things to stay the same often battles our own desires to move on and embrace the new, updated or improved. But, as long as we have our minds, we have our memories of the beauty in the past. The things we took for granted are the things we now appreciate. When given the opportunity to recapture a part of a cherished memory, we latch on to that treasure.

That is what this movie was about to me. Restoring the beauty of the past so the next generation has the opportunity to make their own memories there, while we sit back to enjoy just being there.

Autumn at Apple Hill Synopsis

Autumn at Apple HillCheck Price After her grandparents die, Elise purchases the Inn at Apple Hill, which was their home and business for her entire life. She wanted to ensure the magic of the place was maintained. Unfortunately, it costs a lot of money to keep up the required practical maintenance of an inn, especially with previously deferred things like a roof that leaks, kitchen equipment that has stopped working, and electrical wiring that has already exceeded it's life expectancy. She needs a loan from the bank to make repairs, but the bank will not give her a loan until she can show a 15% gross profit. She can't make that kind of profit when she can't rent out all of the rooms because they need repairs.

In New York, Luke is being forced to take a vacation by the CEO of his employer, who happens to be his mother. He decides he will spend this mandatory vacation in his home town of Apple Hill, where he can visit with old friends and even stay in a very special place, Inn at Apple Hill. When he arrives in Apple Hill, he is distressed to see places closed down, including his childhood favorite arcade. He is temporarily relieved to find the Inn at Apple Hill is still open, but once he starts experiencing their new reality, he is not happy with the new owner.

Sparks of anger fly between Elise and Luke, but those sparks change to a different type as the two start creatively working together to save the Inn at Apple Hill.

Haunted Wedding (2024) - Hallmark Movie Review

Few couples would want their wedding to be haunted by a real ghost. Even if the bride and groom didn't mind, I doubt there would be very many people who would want to attend a haunted wedding. But, leave it to Hallmark to find a way to make a haunted wedding a romantic event.

With Halloween approaching, I wanted to find a movie that fit with the season, but I had no desire to be scared witless. When I discovered Hallmark had just released "Haunted Wedding", I trusted it would be a pleasant "haunting".

The ghost was beautiful, yet threatening, but nothing was really scary about this movie. Howling wind, flickering lights, thunder, and lightening was the extent of what most could see. However, the bride and groom, who happened to be paranormal enthusiasts, could actually see and hear the ghost. They were quickly drawn into her story and set out on a quest to help her before their own wedding.

I was not the least bit disappointed in Haunted Wedding! It was a very enjoyable way to get into the "spirit" of Halloween. There will be no nightmares as a result of this movie.

Synopsis of Haunted Wedding

Haunted Wedding

Jana Atwell is a high school teacher and Brian Fuller is an antique dealer in Philadelphia. Not exactly professions that would instantly make you think of paranormal investigators, but both embraced "spooky" and hoped they would find proof that there are real ghosts.

While ghost hunting in an abandoned sanitarium for the criminally insane, Brian chose to ask Jana to marry him. This did not seem to be an unusual location for a proposal since the couple had met at PolterCon.

Of course, Jana accepted the proposal. It seemed only fitting that she would immediately start planning their wedding to take place at Keystone Manor, a renowned haunted hotel.

The Keystone Manor is haunted by a real ghost, Angelique DeMornay, who died of a broken heart in the 1700's. She was only 26 years old when she died in her sleep. One of the bedrooms upstairs was her bedroom in life, and is still maintained for her. It is off limits to guests and kept as close to the original as possible.

Angelique was engaged to Revolutionary war hero, Lieutenant Malcolm Buchanan, who was killed by British soldiers on his way to get married. They had planned to elope on Oct 13, which happens to be Jana & Brian's wedding date. One more thing the two couples have in common, Brian looks exactly like Malcolm.

Jana is the first person who has ever been able to hear or see the ghost of Angelique. When Brian enters the room, he can see Angelique too, but she believes he is Malcolm. When she is told of their plans to marry in a few days, she declares no one is to wed in her home ever.

My favorite line in the movie was spoken by Brian when he proposed. He said: "I've spent my life seeking out lost souls and in the process, I found my soul mate".

In spite of the ghosts, the spooky setting and the sadness associated with lives and love cut short, this was a very romantic movie with a really sweet ending. Romantics at heart will not want to miss this Hallmark movie!

Love's Portrait - Hallmark Movie Review

It seems some faces are just meant to be painted, photographed and filmed. That is certainly true for the Love's Portrait star, Aubrey Reynolds.

In the movie, Reynolds portrays a young woman who is still grieving the death of her husband, even though it has been 3 years since he died in a car accident. Hallmark picked the right actress for this movie. She comes across as being very gentle, kind and considerate, as well as content, but some of her facial expressions convey sorrow.

She is truly the portrait of a sweet soul with an aching heart.

In the first few minutes of the movie, you are introduced to Lily Young (Aubrey Reynolds) and her co-workers who adore her. We find out about Lily's life, what she does and does not want now or in her future. The movie moves forward quickly when a stunning portrait arrives at the museum where she works and plans are quickly made for travel.

Love's Portrait Movie Synopsis

Love's Portrait

Lily's boss, Michelle, is determined to help Lily find someone to date. She has even gone so far as to add a profile to a dating app on Lily's behalf. However, Lily isn't ready to start dating again and refuses to play along. She is happy with her job as the museum curator and is content to focus on that.

When a new portrait arrives at the museum, everyone is immediately interested in it because it appears to be a portrait of Lily. However, there is no packing slip in the box and the painting is not signed. Thus, they all want to find out the identity of the artist. Michelle is certain the artist is Lily's destiny and she is determined to find out the origin of the painting. She sends her assistant to the deliveryman's home and he finds the packing slip in his truck.

It turns out that the painting was shipped from a small town in Ireland. Before Lily even has time to process it all, Michelle hands her a ticket to Ireland and tells her she must go! Somewhat reluctantly, Lily agrees because she really is intrigued by the painting and would like to solve the mystery of the artist's identity, plus why he painted her.

And, this is where the fun begins .......

This really is a delightful movie. All of the people in Ireland are awesome and fun, starting with the postmistress who clearly has her own interest in the painting as well as Lily's mission to find the artist.

Be sure to check this movie out on a day when you are seeking a bit of romance and mystery together.

Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 Hallmark Mystery Movie Review

There is nothing like a gorgeous male to grab your attention and force you to watch a movie! Yes, I am talking about Zeus (Dillon the Dog), the handsome dog in Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 Mystery movie.

I had assumed the Jazz Ramsey mystery movie would follow the book series by the same name and, to some degree, it does. This movie is based on the plot of the second book in the series, The Secret of Bones: A Jazz Ramsey Mystery Book 2, but uses the German Shepherd breed from the first book.

They do make it clear in the movie that Jazz trains cadaver dogs setting the stage for a different dog or dog breed to be used if Hallmark decides to make it into a series. Although, let's face it, they are not likely to find a more handsome lad in all the world!

I suspect they used the German Shepherd because that is the breed most of us associate with police dogs, but cadaver dogs include the Border Collie, Labrador Retriever, Belgian Malinois, Coonhound, Beagle, Doberman, English Springer Spaniel, St. Bernard, several other shepherd breeds and of course, the Bloodhound. These breeds are chosen due to their anatomical & behavioral traits and go through hundreds of hours of training. They are very impressive and dedicated dogs.

Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 Mystery Movie Synopsis

Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 MysteryCheck PriceJazz Ramsey has been invited to Astor Academy (high school for girls) to give a demonstration of the remarkable abilities of the cadaver dog she is currently training to the school's Forensic Science Club. She is allowed to set up her presentation in a rarely used room on the 3rd floor of the school.

In preparation, she hides two human bones in the room for Zeus, the cadaver dog, to find. When the club members are assembled, Jazz gives Zeus the order to find, but he uncovers more then the hidden bones.

Zeus finds a real, complete dead body that has been hidden under the floor. Because of the glasses and the clothes on the body, Jazz and the headmistress believe it is Bernadette Quinn, a retired teacher that was not very popular.

There are a lot of secrets discovered during the investigation. The ending was rather surprising, which makes this movie the perfect mystery!

Jazz Ramsey: A K-9 Mystery is available on Amazon, the Hallmark Channel or on a streaming service that offers Hallmark movies. I watched it on Frndly TV.

Just My Type Hallmark Movie Review

This Hallmark movie caught my attention as I was scrolling down the list of movie titles available to watch.

We have all heard the phrase "just my type" in reference to characteristics an individual possesses that appeal to us. However, in this case, for some reason the word "type" grabbed by attention and made me think of typing and typewriters.

I must have seen a trailer in the past for this movie because the main characters are writers. As a matter of fact, Martin Clayborne (the published author in the movie) writes all of his books on his old faithful typewriter. Somewhere in my mind, I must have recalled that tidbit of information.

The movie title, Just My Type, is a cute play on words for both reasons: the typewriter element and the attraction element.

One more thing, it never hurts to bring a beautiful puppy along to melt our hearts. Ernie (Briar, the golden retriever) is just my type!

Just My Type Movie Synopsis

Just My Type - DVD or Prime Video

Vanessa Sills (Bethany Joy Lenz) is a magazine writer in NYC. She is up for a promotion to senior lifestyle editor for the magazine, but she has heavy competition. Her next article is ready so she decides she has time for a short weekend break with her friend. When she recognizes the reclusive mystery writer, Martin Clayborne, in a small town gas station, she reconsiders her next article. Perhaps, she should replace it with an interview with Clayborne. After all, he hasn't given an interview in 5 years. Getting that interview might be just what she needs to further her career.

Martin Clayborne (Brett Dalton) is enjoying his solitude in a small town that respects everyone's anonymity and privacy. Marty is very active in the town activities. Even when he is mistaken for a gas station attendant, he jumps right in to pump gas. When Vanessa recognizes him as her favorite mystery writer, he avoids admitting his true identity by saying he "gets that all of the time". Of course, his dog, Ernie, who is featured on his book cover, is lying on the ground not too far away. In spite of his denial, it is pretty obvious to Vanessa that he is Martin Clayborne.

This is where the real fun begins! Vanessa starts finding ways to "bump" into Martin in hopes of convincing him to give her an interview, which he really does not want to do.

Perhaps, she is just the type to get him to open up and give that long awaited interview!
