*Note: This movie previously premiered/aired on BYUtv. You can read reviews - here.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the new movies!
I'm looking forward to recording them all and catching them when I can. If I get the chance, I'll be watching An Unlikely Angel. I love that Great American Family is airing these faith-based films; we really need more inspirational films like this on TV these days.
For me, When Calls the Heart is an absolute must-see! It looks like it will be a sweet and comical episode centered around Rosemary's surprise(?) baby shower.
Plus, I'm sure the animals will be amazing and cute in A Safari Romance. As much as I like Brittany Bristow and Andrew Walker (they are both great!), the animals just might still the show! Hope this is a good one!
For you Heartland watchers, episode 3 from Season 16 airs Sunday night on UPtv. The network is also airing some fun rom-com movie classics that day, as well, including Love in Translation, starring Michelle Argyris and Corey Sevier, and The Engagement Plot, starring Rachel Boston and Trevor Donovan. New episodes of Heartland will continue to air on UPtv on Sunday nights in August, September, and October.
If you haven't seen Wedding Cake Dreams, which airs Monday night on Great American Family, you can read my review of the movie - here.
Please note: I haven't pre-screened all of the new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in the comments below.
Have a Blessed Weekend, Everyone!
