I know there have been others but I don’t recall them at the moment. i am traumatized by Tyler Hines’ hair in the previews. I might dump him and go back to Wes Brown. I’d pick up Christopher Russel but he’s tainted from having kissed Cindy Busby. Ewww,yuck. You probably won't believe it, but I was pleasantly surprised by Just One Kiss, lol. The lead actress wasn't a skinny, beachy wave-tressed, ditsy, puerile, vocal fry mess!

Chippings April 3, 2022 Share April 3, 2022 I also liked Just One Kiss a whole lot. It's so, so great to see new faces, and ones with such great bios. I had to be reminded that Krysta Rodriguez had been in a couple of seasons of "Smash", but I knew Santino Fontana has a great Broadway resume. A good and new actual story, also, with the twist about the moms With singing Wow. It surely is more trouble for them to recruit and cast "new" people with great experience to do one of these movies, but I can only see Jen Lilley find true love just so many times, and even my favorite, Andrew Walker - ditto. But the refreshing and entertaining movie is surely worth the producers' extra effort. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7379733
Irlandesa April 3, 2022 Share April 3, 2022 (edited) I also liked Just One Kiss but I love Santino Fontana and really enjoy Krysta Rodriguez so I feel like I was predisposed to liking it. It was a little edgier than these movies usually get. I figured out what was up with the two moms immediately. It would have been an amazing coincidence for them both to be in the movie theater where their kids were at the same time. Great casting for them as well. The lead was a little pushier than we normally get in terms of asking the woman out but I didn't think it crossed a line. I thought it was risky that she was going through a divorce in the movie as opposed to having completed her divorce a few years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by how much singing there was. I thought we might get a song or two but I feel like almost every segment had him singing. That's a win in my book. I only wish we had more of them singing together, especially since they did acknowledge that she was a good singer too. The NY set felt so similar to the Italian restaurant movie set from two weeks ago (and I will not be surprised if it's used in the Tyler/Amber movie next week.) Economizing? It cracked me up to see Peter Benson show up for two minutes of screen time. Is he in all of these movies? Definitely one I'd watch again. And if you haven't seen Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Santino Fontana was great in it for the first season or so of episodes. As a sampling of his performances, here's Greg's Drinking Song (in "honor" of the alcoholism in the movie I guess? lol) and probably his signature song from the show "Settle for Me."

MerBearHou April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 I watched Just One Kiss today and I liked it so much for all of the reasons mentioned by everyone already. Loved hearing Santino sing the standards (he is made for them) and he and Krysta were a nice match. The daughter and niece weren’t precocious and annoying. It’s amazing to me to see how handsome the actor has become who played her husband — he’s come a long way since I first saw him on Good Witch. I concur about the rarely-seen-on-Hallmark realities they addressed of an alcoholic who lost the family’s money and ruined their trust and security. Santino is a winning actor and I so enjoyed Krysta as well. I was one of those who didn’t guess the secret about the mothers, but I liked it and those two actresses were fantastic additions to the cast. Will watch it again for sure. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7380191

Looking forward to seeing this once it uploads to On Demand. The actress looks like she could be related to Catherine Bell and I like the actor's Frank Sinatra-esque character Finally saw The Presence Of Love all the way through yesterday. The scenery and structures were gorgeous, but I'm wondering if they filmed this in Ireland. The aerial shot showing the green land that looked like square patches reminded me of the opening scene in the Sons of Anarchy episode where they went to Ireland. Either way - that B&B, the farm, the hills overlooking the sea - just gorgeous. And like 2 dozen clowns trying to stuff themselves in an old Volkswagon, Joss sure was able to pack all those full length coats into that one piece of hard cover roller luggage. Even if there weren't any coats in there, you're going overseas - to Europe - for 2 weeks. You'd need to take a lot more than coats.

Bronx Babe April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 (edited) Watching Just One Kiss, I was delighted Hallmark didn't eliminate these particular lyrics from New York, New York: "Those little town blues, are melting away...." Perhaps the channel is finally embracing the very human fact that big cities, especially the so-called "elite coastal" ones, are not Evil Incarnate breeding grounds for moral decay. Or maybe Hallmark is merely being strategic: Acknowledgement of mid-twentieth century Mad Men nostalgia (i.e. Rat Pack, Sinatra, etc.) could bring in a bigger audience not tuning in because of stereotypical biases against Urbanity. Being a born and bred Noo Yawker, I can tell you that the isle of Manhattan also incorporates down-to-earth boroughs such as the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, etc. Our neighborhoods had a charm all their own, and with major family values. Hallmark should not neglect this aspect of America in their "storylines".

So to jump right to homosexual couples touching, kissing, etc. when they can't even venture down that road with straight/married couples without worrying about the pearl clutchers doesn't make sense 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7387403

That had to be a vintage HOF because it was too good to be their run of the mill movies. I actually cried. Well worth catching. Just checked IMDb. The 2011 movie was originally broadcast on Sunday evening on CBS. I believe that was a HOF movie. I sobbed my eyes out. Betty White really showed her acting chops in this film. I never really thought she had that in her. LOVED the scenes from WWII. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7387870

I will bet that some Hallmark writers are watching Dr. Who and the Daleks on TCM this evening. They are all a bunch of frustrated science fiction writers.

Where are the old timers? Are they getting to old to be the leads? Whaaaaaaa. I think CCBs daughter is probably old enough to be a Hallmark lead by now. I have no objection to her being an age appropriate character, i.e. a late 40-something looking for love, but enough of the 40 year olds pretending they're 30. Or they could cast her as the parent of a lead, as they seem to be doing to the 45-50 year old Hallmark men. And her movie this past Christmas sucked. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7389105

luvthepros April 9, 2022 Share April 9, 2022 Just watched Just One Kiss and loved it. I couldn't place the actress who played Tony's mother and of course knew right away when I looked her up.......Tony Soprano's sister! I knew there was some sort of twist with the mothers BEFORE watching the movie from reading this forum. Wouldn't you know, I forgot there was a twist and didn't realize it until the big reveal at the end of the movie. Smart writing! I won't say what the twist is in case some haven't seen the movie yet. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7391320
Irlandesa April 10, 2022 Share April 10, 2022 I liked Royal Runaway Romance enough. The delivery of the leads was kind of low key but they had chemistry and I liked the road trip angle; although I did think it was weird that he was hired to be her bodyguard while in the States but left her once she got to Chicago. I assume her uncle expected him to guard her in Chicago as well. But was pleasant enough for a late night watch and I didn't fall asleep. You might be wondering why a late night watch? That's because I happened upon Hallmark Drama before the movie started last night and they were playing The Magic of Ordinary Days and Loving Leah back-to-back. Seen them both many times and have them on my DVR so was I going to stop and watch them live? Hell yeah. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20615-hallmark-movies-small-town-royalty-magically-celebrating-rekindled-love-general-discussion/page/174/#findComment-7392722
