Get ready for THREE Valentine’s Day offerings from Hallmark this year. Plus Lifetime is offering up a Simon Biles bio pic, just in time for the Olympics!
We will be covering them all in Season 2 of the podcast! (Starting Feb 8th.)
My Secret Valentine (Hallmark Channel)
Premieres: Saturday, February 3 9/8c (on Hallmark Channel)
Stars: Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker
Synopsis (via Hallmark)
A young woman takes advice from the chalkboard notes that her mysterious house rental tenant leaves when a slick sales rep arrives with plans to buy her family’s prized winery!
Thoughts
Two of my FAVORITE Hallmark actors together in one movie?!?! Also, they are in a winery?!?!? “Pour it Up”
Simone Biles: Courage to Soar (Lifetime)
Premieres: Saturday, February 3 8/7c (on Lifetime)
Stars: Jeanté Godlock, Tisha Campbell-Martin, and Julius Tennon
Synopsis (via Lifetime)
Based on her book, Courage To Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance, the biopic follows Simone Biles through her sacrifices and hard work that lead her to win 19 Olympic and World Championship medals and cemented her stake as one of the greatest gymnasts of all-time. Biles’ journey from foster care to the Olympic podium is full of life experiences that serve as an inspiration for every little girl with a dream.
Thoughts
I was extremely excited for a gymnastics Lifetime Movie, especially if it is about Olympic GOLD medalist, Simone Biles. (Who is currently training for Tokyo 2020.) However, with the Larry Nasser scandal I’m not sure Lifetime will handle the topic with tact or even at all. “Let it Breathe”
Very, Very, Valentine (Hallmark Channel)
Premieres: Saturday, February 10 9/8c (on Hallmark Channel)
Stars: Danica McKellar, Cameron Mathison, and Damon Runyan
Synopsis (via Hallmark)
When Helen, a kind hearted and shy florist, meets the perfect man at a Valentine’s Masquerade Ball she enlists the help of her best friend Henry to track him down only to find that her perfect man may already be right in front of her.
Thoughts
So, this is reverse Cinderella? I’m here for that! That candelabra in this picture is gaudy as hell! (And is that repurposed Christmas decorations? No, Hallmark!) I’m going to have to “Put a cork in it.”
Cooking with Love (Hallmark Channel)
Premieres: Sunday February 11 9/8c (on Hallmark Channel)
Stars: Ali Liebert & Brett Dalton
Synopsis (via Hallmark)
Optimistic and cheerful TV producer, Kelly, doesn’t have time for love. Bad boy celebrity chef, Stephen, doesn’t have time for anything besides cooking. Fun with a side of love ensues as Kelly and Stephen are paired on a children’s cooking show.
Thoughts
I liked Ali Liebert in A Gift to Remember. Will I like her is she is not playing the Sandra Bullock role in While You Were Sleeping? “Let it Breathe”
