Renovation Romance (a.k.a Christmas Under Construction)
It’s an Old Story This movie which premiered on the Hallmark Channel last night is actually one from 2024 which has been running over on Hulu ever since. It reunites stars Daniel Lissing and Jessica Lowndes who were last paired together in an old christmas movie from almost 10 years ago called A December Bride…

A Castle of Our Own
Castles in the Sand After last week’s super special movie offering, we conclude Hallmark’s Summer Nights line up with a shrug, and a “not bad, actually.” The most notable thing about it was the return of Brennan Elliot as the co-lead in a Hallmark premiere. As a Hallmark mainstay and an old favorite of mine,…

The Love Heist
A Fashion Fairy Tale This was a big city one. In this case, Chicago. And I don’t know what it is, but those always seem to be a cut above the usual small town save grandma’s farm with a festival romances. Maybe they’re aiming towards a slightly more sophisticated faction of their audience, I don’t…

Texas Two-Step
Attention Country Dancing and Honky-tonk Fans! I love the movie Shane, but Urban Cowboy was never a favorite. And somehow, I really don’t cotton to cowboy romances these days.

I will leave the outrage and…

About my Reviews
I’ve been reviewing shows on IMDb for quite a few years. This is a compilation I am adding to little by little. I enjoy many types of movies and programs, particularly British Mysteries and dramas, but you’ll mostly just find Romantic TV movies on this page. That’s because they usually don’t have 100s of other reviews already. If a movie has already been reviewed to death, I figure, “Why bother?” These TV movies are rated on a 10 star “special” scale: It’s more generous than I would rank a serious theatre film.
