So when word gets out that the late Senator Tannenhill's sons might be proposing marriage at their family's Big Bear compound during Christmas, Greta and her chief rival Wes (Tom Lenk) are challenged by their old-school editor to get the scoop. There's incentive to be the first, too: the editorship of the magazine's new online incarnation. Greta's assistant tells her that Wes has a head start to snowy Big Bear, so she dashes to the mountain resort. When she mistakenly ends up as a guest of the family, she's in the middle of what could be her best story yet. However, she discovers that the family, including matriarch Maggie Tannenhill (Patricia Richardson) and caretaker Peters (Robert Curtis Brown) are more down-to-earth than she had assumed.

The movie begins with three young teenagers morning the loss of Bradley's parents who were killed in an accident. They staged a mock wedding so Bradley would not be without relatives. Bradley (Jesse Metcalfe) leaves and becomes a huge music star who is engaged to a beautiful and successful actress (Laura Mennell).
Fifteen years later Bradley returns to his hometown to sell his family farm. He soon reconnects with his old sweetheart (Autumn Reeser), who plays one of HM's best leading roles, she is full of spirit, wise cracks, has great dept and looks natural as a country girls. The chemistry between Bradley and Sara is strong and realistic. There are a cast of supporting actors that assist in making this a HM classic.
Autumn Reeser is one of my favorite HM leading ladies because she is always fun, charming and an absolute beauty.

10/18/2016 --- Victor J - DirectorChristie Will WolfStarsJen LilleyBrendan PennyPeri GilpinWhen an aspiring chef lands a dream job at her idol's restaurant, she befriends the handsome executive chef. After they are both wrongly fired from there, the duo decides to open their own eatery to prove their food is better.Season: Valentines Day
Two young chefs Nikki Turner (Jen Lilley) and Brendan Penny (Paul Dellucci) are working in a restaurant owned by a well known chef who is determined to do things her way. Obviously this causes tension and Nikki and Brendan eventually have to find their own way.
Nikki's smile and clean, honest spirit is refreshing and from the very beginning the chemistry with the equally charming Paul is among the most believable HM has produced. I found myself almost becoming attached to them and the sidebar characters and story lines.
It was also kind of refreshing that there was not an additional relationship (boyfriend, girlfriend) that had to be overcome. This is one of my favorite HM movies that I will enjoy again and again. I hope we see more of Jen Lilley in future HM movies.

5/14/2017 --- Victor J. - DirectorDavid WeaverStarsJesse MetcalfeNatalie LisinskaDerek McGrathNoah McManus is leaving his job with the Boston mayor's office for a dream gig in Washington, D.C. But in a single day, he finds out his new boss in Washington can no longer employ him and that his girlfriend has been cheating on him. Devastated, Noah travels to a quaint Cape Cod town and unexpectedly finds himself at home.This is one of my favorite HM movies.
Noah McManus (Jesse Metcalfe) gives a positive twist to being a politician. He quits his campaign public relations position because he lost faith in the Boston Mayor candidate that he represented. He ends up in a small town in Maine where he accidentally gets involved with the towns politics. So he serves as the heroic big city guy that saves a small towns political problems and also wins the girl, Haily Caldwell (Natalie Lisinska).
The outdoor scenery and the supporting cast is wonderful.

4/6/2017 --- Victor J - DirectorJames HeadStarsBriana EviganPaul CampbellGreg EviganWhen a Princess escapes her entourage to explore New York City over Christmas, she meets a young man who shows the beautiful stranger his side of the city.This movie has a feel good story of a runaway princess Katie Holiday (Briana Evigan) who just wants to have some time for herself to experience a Christmas as she remembered before her mother past. As she eludes her security team and ventures into the city she finds herself kind of down on her luck when good samaritan Jack (Paul Campbell) offers her kindness and invites her to spend a few days with his family. While visiting with her new friends she keeps her true identity secret because she appreciates that they except her for her and not because she is famous. Jack wants to help Katie and throughout the movie their love grows in the process.
This is a must watch and I will enjoy it for years to come. For fans of santa you will be pleased because their are lots of them.

9/3/2017 --- Victor J - DirectorRon OliverStarsHeather Elizabeth MorrisJonathan BennettOscar NuñezA young lady who has grown up with her father being a radio DJ becomes one herself, hosts a 'Romantically Speaking' show, and falls in love.The chemistry between Ariel (Heather Morris) and Nathan (Jonathan Bennett) is one of the most believable that HM has produced. Both characters are likeable, and their best friends Dave (Brandon Jay McLaren) and Krista (Ryan Michelle Bathe) are entertaining.
Arieal hosts a radio show about relationships and always tells her audience what a perfect boyfriend (Jonathan) she has, but he breaks up with her and accidentally her long time friend Nathan is revealed as her boyfriend. So they go with it, and it works. Worth a watch.

3/14/2017 --- Victor J. - DirectorVic SarinStarsJulianna GuillMarc BendavidNatasha HenstridgeThe star manager of a small-town clothing store is suddenly promoted to run a company's flagship store--in Manhattan. To make it in the big city, she must combine her newly-acquired New York City street-smarts with a dash of homespun charm.Taylor (Julianna Guill) is charming as a store manager that is discovered by a New York city store manager, and is offered to manager her store. The transition is kind of interesting with Taylor's small town charm and with the help of a street wise realtor Phil (Marc Bendavid) who is patient as Taylor works through her business life and eventually their love wins over. I love stories where people move to a new location and give live a try.

9/13/2017 --- Victor J - DirectorMarita GrabiakStarsLisa WhelchelMichael ShanksClancy CaubleA successful mommy blogger decides to re-enter the world of dating and discovers the man she has been falling for is the same man she has been sparring with online.This is a movie about two single parents Carly (Lisa Whelchel) and Andy (Michael Shanks) who meet accidentally in a park and instantly there was an attraction. Carly has a blog about how to a single parent should raise a child, and Andy responds to her blog with a judgmental and completely opposite view. So they resent each other but also have an attraction through the blog. In the meantime their personal romance blossoms as well as HM can make it happen, they care for each other but there are some bumps in the road as they learn that they are the two blogging rivals.
The best thing about this movie for me is it how two middle aged people slowly move back into the dating game. I must say that Lisa Whelchel has been a favorite since her Facts of Life years.
