Yes, she's another generic Hallmark actress. Good for her if this is a promotion; she was a nice change from Lacey Chabert or Nikki DeLoach or Jenn Lilley. She's not as annoying as most but didn't stand out as particularly appealing either. It really was such a rehash of an overtold generic Hallmark story that I wonder why they even made it in 2020 (IMDB says 2021.) Maybe it's like that movie that was literally made twice with different actors in different years (A Bride for Christmas is the good one.)

Interesting. Both of the stars (Brittany Bristow and Cory Sevier) have been in several Hallmarks so I assumed Love In Whitbrooke was also Hallmark and that my American friends watched it last week, as we usually get the movie a week later. I have no idea about Right In Front of Me but planned to find out this weekend (yet not holding my breath based on previous comments.) Though now that I check, there are a bunch of Mysteries (Picture Perfect Mysteries, Mystery 101, Matchmaker Mysteries) coming up. They sound like they might be Hallmark-type mystery movies.

She definitely wanted to leave the job, but I think in the back of her mind she wanted to be with him so decided to move to the town to be an artist there, but then he did the misheard/misunderstood jump to conclusions thing (another 2017 trope) and pushed her away to protect his feelings. She decided to stay anyway, the sister straightened him out and we all lived happily ever after.

Isn't she? Admittedly I wasn't glued to the tv but at the end I thought she decided to give up London, travel for a year with the guy, then settle in the town and become a full-time artist. That's why I said it seemed old. It crossed my mind when the sister decided to go away for school that perhaps the guy would move to London with her and they could use that as their base for travel. That would have been an awesome ending. Did I mix it up with another movie?

Watched Love In Whitbrooke last night. It was fine, but it felt like a movie from 2017 or something. I thought we had moved past the 'woman comes home from the big city and ends up saving the festival, then ditches high powered job to stay home with the new/old re-discovered man.' The only difference here is that they decide to travel together for a year before coming back to the small town to live. Cory Sevier is cute, but not the top of my list.

So, that guy is her husband. I thought it might be her brother. You're right, there is no chemistry between them but I don't find either of them particularly appealing. I am such a crank. I dislike so many of the actresses that each one is the worst while I'm watching, then I see a different movie with a different actress and change my mind. Just now I passed up Love To The Rescue because I don't like Nikki DeLoach, so I am watching Signed, Sealed, Delivered about post office mysteries of all things.

I am watching Sailing Into Love. I remember enjoying this movie last summer so was anxious to see it again. It was my first introduction to Chris McNally, who while not much of an actor, is really cute (in jeans, in a suit and in a naval uniform!) and his character is quite likeable. Unlike, as usual, the female lead, who is all about saving 'Blue Island,' the local treasure, from evil developers. It just seems to me that if it truly is a treasure to everyone in the town, more than just her, her dad and her best friend would have showed up to the city council meeting to discuss saving or selling it. But hey, what do I know? It appears that if you hand out a couple of posters on Thursday afternoon, dozens of people will cancel their Friday plans to show up and filibuster the next meeting. And apparently the city didn't need the money after all, because they decided not to sell the island. Who saw that coming?

I love backroad driving and try to avoid the large highways whenever possible at least during the daylight hours. A couple of backroad trips home at dusk/dark did make me think twice about it though. First, I passed a guy who apparently had a problem with that, who passed me then spent the next few kilometres slowing down until I was almost stopped, then speeding up when I tried to pass. It was scary and there was nobody around. I think he eventually got bored and moved on. Then another time I fortunately caught sight of a deer in the field before it ran out on the road in front of me. So, I take the backroads but only during the day.

Sometimes I go for a drive because I have to get out of the house. I'm in my car, alone with no mask and I just drive around. Anyone with a problem with that can kiss my a**.

If you want to encounter shitty drivers, come to Ontario. Nobody seems to understand, 'keep right except to pass' and that the middle lane of a 3 lane highway is not the cruising lane. I drove to visit relatives in Connecticut last year. 2 hours to the border, then 8 hours of NY, Mass and Connecticut. By far the most stressful part of the drive was the 2 hours home after I had crossed the border back into Canada. If the speed limit is 100 km/h, you are not supposed to be in the passing lane just because you are doing 105 unless everyone else is going slower. You are not the police and don't get to regulate everyone else's speed. Just get the hell out of their (my) way and if we're going to crash for going too fast, at least you won't be there to see it, but if there is a crash because someone doing 110 had to go to the slow lane to get around you, that is your fault even though they were technically speeding. I will say one thing about NY drivers, they understand. They signal, pull over, pass, then get back into the other lane. If you come up on someone who forgot to get back in their lane, they immediately do so and give you a little 'sorry' as you drive by them.

My cousins from Connecticut will swear to this. Having said that, my apologies to the Bostonians I may have cut off when I apparently ran a red light the only time I tried to drive there, but in my defense, I have never seen streets set up like that before. I think there were about 8 intersecting streets at one convergence and the set of lights that I thought was mine, wasn't.

Probably related to the (way too old to wet his pants) kid in the car commercial who tells both parents before a car trip that he doesn't have to 'go' then decides he has to go. As mentioned before, the original commercial showed the kid saying 'too late' when his mom tried to get him out of the car, but now just shows them running into the mall.

And it was funny when Rodgers slyly mentioned him coming in 2nd place in a certain celebrity Jeopardy tournament.

So, Green Bay Packers wasn't even worth a guess?? What was it, the second clue of the game, worth $400? Not to mention, what else could it be with Rodgers there?

It's the 'untraceable' that has me intrigued...................

Yes, I'm shallow and I admit it. I would be happy to look at and listen to Aaron Rodgers provide Jeopardy clues on a permanent basis.

As if we didn't know we were watching 'Spring Fling!' or that Aurora Teagarden Mysteries are on Thursdays at 8 (or whatever.) I notice most channels do this now, perhaps because they know we PVR everything and don't watch commercials anymore.

Watched Bridal Wave this morning and it is definitely a bolero-type jacket that the Mom wears but the daughter doesn't. I was finally able to load a picture of the mom's hair. This is not even the worst picture, just the only one I could get posted.

I know there has been a post on here over the last few days about one of the actors (Paul Essiembre) who mostly plays Dads and Grampas these days, but I can't find it now. The comment was about a movie he was in (Christmas Heart) where he was actually the husband/young dad. The movie is on right now, it's from 2012 and he looks much, much younger. Kinda hot too. Given that he is younger than I am, not sure why I never really noticed him, I guess I have been too busy obsessing over his younger co-stars.

Loved: scenery, leads, no unreasonable bitchiness at the beginning or ridiculous misunderstanding at the end Meh: everything else I didn't dislike the movie but am surprised that everyone else liked it so much. On a positive note, Window Wonderland is now on and I truly love this movie. Paul Campbell is young and fresh-faced and so charming it's easy to see why he has become a Hallmark favourite.

I too have an iphone that is just a texting and phoning machine. It is not a portable computer that I carry around with me even though I have a data plan that is apparently the envy of anyone who uses their phone for anything else. Are you talking about having to hit a number key two or three times to get to the letter you want? I love the Canadian Tire commercial where random people are trying to do home repairs and the song has lyrics like, 'squish in really far.'

So, not Erin Cahill's hair from that movie a few weeks back (It Was Always You or something like that.) While there were some scenes in that movie where the hair actually looked cute, I am reminded about how bad it also looked at times whenever I see the promos for 'Spring Fling' or whatever they're calling the spate of movies after Valentines Day but before summer. All of which so far have been a disappointment, by the way. Tonight's big movie (on W in Canada) is As Luck Would Have It starring the chauffeur/son-in-law guy from Downton Abbey. Crossing my fingers.

Yes, there was a weird sleeve/bolero jacket thing going on which it appears the daughter removed. I agree the dress seemed to flatter the mother, but the one complaint I have about this movie is it features some of the worst hairstyles I have ever seen, and the mother's hair was the worst.

That was really funny. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe the wrong dress is a metaphor for the wrong wedding? Or maybe it's just the hijinks associated with the wrong dress. Yeah, that's probably it.
