Starring:  Cindy Busby and Jilon VanOver My Movie Grade:  A Image:  Great American Media Crown Prince of Christmas Has a Fun Twist  While some rom-com fans complain that they've gorged on so many royal romances they can't stomach another one, the rest of us are insatiable when it comes to fairytales about princes (or princesses) finding true love.

Great American Family's "The Art of Christmas" Wardrobe Malfunction

The Art of Christmas Plot Summary A struggling artist, Liv James, begrudgingly accepts an elementary school teaching position to make ends meet after her exhibition literally goes up in flames. Starring:  Brigitte Kingsley and Joe Towne My Movie Grade:  B- Image:  Great American Media A Sweet Story with an Immodest & Untalented Actress When you first watched  The Art of Christmas, you may have scanned the commercials to find out if Hooters  was sponsoring the movie since viewers certainly got an eye full. Brigitte Kingsley not only produced and starred in The Art of Christmas , but she also wrote the screenplay, proving that while she enjoys using her own creativity, she doesn't leave anything up to the imagination of her viewers (if you catch my drift). Kingsley's character, Liv James, loves puns, so let's just say when she "spills" her drink twice in the movie, she still has more than enough left in her "cup." The story is sweetly unique.  A form

Let's get the elephant out of the room. Great American Family viewers are divided when it comes to their willingness to watch a movie starring Lori Loughlin after her college admissions scandal. Stay tuned until the end of this post to hear what people are saying.  I will weigh in, and you'll have a chance to share YOUR position by voting in an opinion poll. Let's first talk about Fall Into Winter-- another original premiere that closed out 2023's Great American Winter . What Is Fall Into Winter About?

A Prince in Paradise Plot Summary   Olivia Perkins is an author who goes on a tropical holiday in hopes of curing her writer's block, but her trip is interrupted by handsome Prince Alexander who is looking to escape his royal duties. Starring :  Rhiannon Fish and Mitchell Bourke My Movie Grade:  A Image:  Great American Media A Prince in Paradise Kicks Off "Great American Winter" When the weather outside is frightful, a tropical island sounds so delightful! Many winter movies focus on snow-related activities, cozy lodges, and hot cocoa, but Great American Family welcomes the coldest time of the year with a movie that will make you pine for fun in the sun.   Olivia Perkins (Rhiannon Fish) writes books about adventure, mystery, and romance even though she never leaves her home state to experience them for herself.  The pressure is on for her to follow up her bestseller, Love Bound , with a new release, but when her boyfriend of six years breaks up with her, it kills her

Review: Great American Family's "B&B Merry"

B&B Merry Plot Summary Tracey Wise is a renowned travel blogger who is invited to a struggling, smalltown B&B for a free getaway in exchange for a review.  It's not long before she finds herself wanting to help the owners....and falling in love with the owner's handsome son, Graham. Starring:  Jen Lilley and Jesse Hutch My Movie Grade:  C+ Image:  Great American Media B&B Merry Is Enjoyable If You Ignore the Problems Most romcom fans adore Jen Lilley and Jesse Hutch.  They've both starred in tons of light-hearted romance movies, and it's comforting to see their familiar and loveable faces in the Christmas line-up each year.  Most of their movies are homeruns, but B&B Merry falls short of the hype. You are probably shaking your head in disagreement saying, "I LOVED B&B Merry !"  I understand.  My opinion will likely be unpopular, so you can love it all you want.  It is charming on the surface, but here's where it has issues: First, Great

A Christmas....Present is Countercultural It's rare to turn on the television these days and find a movie that encapsulates what was once considered commonplace--stories about faith and family. A Gallup poll in the 1950's concluded that nearly 95% of the American population identified as Christians.  Tenets of the Christain faith were shared by the majority, meaning we talked the same language, believed the same ideals, and shared the same morals and values.  Since the Bibl

"Great American Valentines:" Here Are the Three Movies Premiering on Great American Family in February

Romantic Rewrite Synopsis :  A talented romance book editor is tasked with helping a mystery writer incorporate romance into the next book in his best-selling series.  He volunteers to be her faux date for her best friend's beach wedding in return for her editing skills. Starring :  Kristina Cole and Russell Quinn Premieres:  Saturday, February 4, 2023 This movie was produced by Reel One Entertainment in 2022 and has apparently aired elsewhere, as there are reviews already posted for it where viewers claim it's pretty bad with loud and terrible music playing in the background.   It must be one of those movies acquired by Great American Family, which makes it "new" for the network.  We should give it a try, but I'm not very optimistic. You can check out the trailer for Romantic Rewrite here: A Charming Valentine Synopsis:   Lillian is a careerist businesswoman who has a knack for turning start-ups into successful companies.  Her newest endeavor is a company call
