The Bradshaw Bunch (2020–2022)

My message is for reviewer mllewis

[14 August 2022]

You have your information wrong. When you said "doesn't show her relationship with her mother Erin" Erin is NOT Zuris mother. LACEY is Zuris mother. Lacey is Terry's stepdaughter and Laceys daughter is Zuri. Erin just gave birth at the end of last year (December 2021) to a girl which is her first born.

Wrapped Up in Christmas (2017 TV Movie)

Loved this movie! & THIS IS A LIFETIME CHRISTMAS MOVIE NOT HALLMARK!

[10/10 · 16 October 2021]

I've watched this movie every year since it came out in 2017 & I own it on DVD & a digital copy of it on Vudu its so adorable. It's not super busy with alot of depth but these are Christmas movies that bring us happiness & we know they always end up together at the end. And it baffles me how many people don't know what network this movie came from. This is a LIFETIME Christmas movie not a Hallmark Christmas movie! How do you not know what network you watched this movie on? So ridiculous. I love the cast and that Jeffrey & Ashley from Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air are both in it. It gives you all the Christmas feels and is 100% worth watching!

Save the Wedding (2021 TV Movie)

This is NOT a Hallmark movie!

[5 July 2021]

For all you saying omg hallmarks lost their mind and has gone bad, this is NOT hallmark! This is showing on Hallmark in August 2021 as an acquired movie that was made by another company that is NOT Hallmark! Get your facts together before you automatically assume its Hallmark. Gee whiz. Everyone just automatically assumes what they think is right.

Christmas on the Menu (2020 TV Movie)

Clearing someone's fact that are wrong in the review section of this movie

[7/10 · 20 December 2020]

For the person who put their review title as SMH you might want to get your facts straight. You said Cynthia Gibb who plays Kim Shaws mother in this movie is only 11 years older than Kim Shaw, you are 100% wrong, they are 21 years apart in age. Did you even bother to google their ages before you made that incorrect comment? Cynthia Gibb was born in 1963 and Kim Shaw was born in 84. Cynthia just turned 57 on December 14th and Kim is 36. That is not an 11 year difference. Thats 21. You might want to relearn how to do math. So yes. Their age difference is perfectly normal for mother daughter as ALOT of people have children at 21. It just baffles me people that don't take time to actually fact check facts they think are accurate.

A Date by Christmas Eve (II) (2019 TV Movie)

Lifetime really really messed up on this one BIG TIME

[1/10 · 4 January 2020]

Wow! I would have given this movie 0/10 if I could. Alot of the 2019 lifetime christmas movies this season were really good with great actors and actresses but this was one of their worst out of all 28 this season. The main lead actress and her blonde ditzy friend were painful to watch. It literally felt like pulling teeth and like you were at an improv class where no one knew how to act. The movie didnt flow at all. They played background music like they do in all movies to go along with what's happening and it didnt even match up to the acting because they couldnt even act! I made it about half way through. I kept thinking this has to get better but it never did. I mean they couldnt act to save their life. I'm not trying to sound mean but the acting was so forced and it was so so SOOO bad! All their other incredible movies theyve had this season like merry liddle Christmas & a christmas winter song & random acts of Christmas & twinkle all the way & staging christmas & christmas in Louisiana and a christmas wish were all incredible movies and a few others and they flowed along with the storyline and the movie flowed but this was beyond forced. No one in the movie could act. Period. One of the worst movies I've seen in a REALLY long time.

A Christmas Winter Song (II) (2019)

Oh my emotions!!! where is the TISSUE BOX?!

[10/10 · 15 December 2019]

I'm truly at a loss for words. This is Lifetimes BEST Christmas movie theyve done so far this season out of the 28 movies premiering this season. This movie gives you so many different emotions. Sadness, grieving, forgiveness, happiness, your heart exploding from sweet acts of kindness and love for one another. Ashanti loses her dad a year prior & meets a special someone Fred. You will see in the movie a relationship being built between Ashanti & this Fred character and it's so incredibly beautiful and the most heart warming thing I have EVER seen. I cant say more without giving anything away which I wont do & everyone can watch for themselves but I will say this wasnt a traditional Christmas movie. No one fell in love Ashanti already has a boyfriend & is in love in the movie & it's really sweet but this movie was truly about really hard things people go through all the time which you'll see in the movie and it shined light on those harder things people deal with and the story and everything came together so beautifully and taught you the true meaning of Christmas and the highest form of loving friendship and kindness to others. Seriously one of the best movies I've seen in a really long time. 10/10 no questions asked! Ashanti did a BEYOND incredible job! Lifetime please bring her back and put her in more of your movies as a lead! I'd LOVE to see her in more! Oh but if you're going to watch this movie I swear you are going to need a whole box of tissues. It's going to touch your heart and give you all the emotional feels you could ever imagine and it's a different kind of christmas movie rather than boy meets girl and they fall in love. We DO love those movies 1000% and that's what we love most about Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies we love them even tho their plots are relatively all the same but this one was different and focused more on all different relationships between all different kinds of people. It truly was a masterpiece. Lifetime knocked it out of the park with this one! You can actually buy the digital copies on amazon prime video and the app Vudu which I have of 90% of the movies that have premiered this year on Lifetime. Merry liddle Christmas, staging christmas, you light up my Christmas, random acts of Christmas, twinkle all the way, my christmas wish & a very vintage christmas are all on both of those apps & I bought all the ones I just listed and quite a few others are on there too that have premiered this year for 3.99 for the SD digital copy of the movie or 4.99 for the HDX digital copy of the movie and then you have that digital copy on either of those apps to own and watch forever so I'm crossing my fingers that this movie will be put on those apps too just like all the other ones were because its beyond worth every penny! I highly recommend this movie to EVERYONE! a different kind of christmas movie there was romantic love in it but like I said it focused on other forms of love & relationships and each part added more good emotions to it. Best of 2019!! That made my whole morning after watching it and I don't think I've ever cried that much in a movie in a long time. I truly related to some of the stories in the movie that happened in my life and because it was a beautiful movie. Big kudos to Lifetime!!!

Merry Liddle Christmas (2019 TV Movie)

Oh my Christmas trees. This movie was INCREDIBLE.

[10/10 · 7 December 2019]

MERRY LIDDLE CHRISTMAS!!!!! In my opinion this was one of the best Christmas movies Lifetime has put out this 2019 Christmas season so far. Everything about this movie I loved. It showed what really happens when families come and stay with you a few days before Christmas and during Christmas. But WOW! Kelly Rowland did such a good job in this movie! I loved her sisters in the movie too. They were both hilarious. & the sisters husband was good & I loved the kids & the parents were adorable. There is so much hecticness in this movie with all the things that happen while the family stays at Kelly Rowlands house but it makes for great laughs and so many emotions! You'll laugh, you'll cry and it just made my heart so full of happiness! I've already watched it twice and plan on watching it again this weekend. Any review that is bad clearly those people are never happy with any movie because this movie had everything. And I love the bond between the entire family. It was so sweet and they all were hysterical and played all of their characters perfectly. This will be a favorite of mine every Christmas now and I really hope they put this one on DVD eventually because I would buy it in two seconds. It shows the meaning of Christmas and true love between a family and their strong bond. All the christmas feels you could want during the Christmas season. Well done Lifetime! <3 you made my favorite lifetime movie this season and now one of my favorite movies out of all of the lifetime christmas movies. Cant wait to watch it for years to come. Please bring Kelly Rowland back to future Lifetime Christmas movies. I truly hope shes a lead actress in another new Christmas movie next year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'd LOVE to watch her in another one.

You Light Up My Christmas (2019 TV Movie)

I LOVED this movie!

[9/10 · 7 December 2019]

This was such a cute movie!! You cant expect everything out of this movies. We know they're going to end up together at the end its just how these type of movies end but its the journey to get us there is what's important in a movie and this movie was light hearted and fun. I loved the chemistry between the leading actors. Kim did a really good job. Her character was passionate about Christmas and keeping her families legacy alive. If you just want something that you can just sit back and watch that puts you in a good mood this movie will do it for you. But if you expect there to be a perfect script then you'll be disappointed but the people who love Lifetime movies for what they are this one is so cute! I'm gonna rewatch it again.

A Very Merry Toy Store (2017 TV Movie)

THIS IS NOT A HALLMARK MOVIE!

[5/10 · 14 August 2019]

Gee whiz. Its crazy to me the amount of people that dont even realize what network they're watching at least 4 reviews on here said a hallmark movie. Did you not pay attention when you watched it? This is a LIFETIME MOVIE. Not hallmark!! How does someone not catch that when they're even watching it on the lifetime channel. It's not rocket science. This movie was ok...nothing real exciting happened. It was a cute movie but there was no depth. And these movies dont always need to give us depth to be good but I guess I'm saying it barely broke through the surface. It seemed more of a movie they just through together. It's definitely maybe worth watching once but not over and over. I live for these movies. It doesnt take much to keep me happy or occupied but the first part was slow and I only finished because I had to see how the movie turned out and because I love Mario Lopez and Melissa but again this is a LIFETIME movie NOT Hallmark.

Love in the Sun (2019 TV Movie)

Wow, what did I just watch?

[1/10 · 28 May 2019]

I turned this movie off after 5 minutes. I'm shocked. I own almost 70 Hallmark DVDs now & my favorite thing is to order them from Amazon & build my collection. We all know not to expect much from hallmark movies as far as storyline goes, as long as it makes us happy were good. It really doesnt take much for me to be a good movie which is why I love so many but having said that, this movie is just awful. I appreciate all the actors & actresses & everyone apart of these movies that take time to work so hard to give us these movies but I couldn't even watch it. The acting was terrible. This was Hallmarks 5th movie. They should have stopped at From friend to fiance their 4th one as that one was the best one. It's like they wrote this quick just to get an extra movie out. I've never turned a hallmark movie off after 5 minutes. I at least make it half way through. This was in unbearably bad. I hate to say it but wow. Just wow

Christmas at Grand Valley (2018 TV Movie)

One of my favorite hallmark movies!

[10/10 · 29 January 2019]

I am STUNNED at all the negative reviews on this movie. It was SO good!!! People who are negative about it expect WAY too much from movies. I'm obsessed with Danica Mckellar the lead actress. She always acts with her emotions and you can feel everyone. This isnt meant to be an action packed movie. It's a Christmas hallmark movie for goodness sakes. The kids are SO adorable and their relationship with Danicka in the movie just makes your heart melt. The dad in the movie the main character and Danicka have really good chemistry and yes it's a storyline that has been done before, the lodge is gonna close if they dont figure it out kind of like the movie Christmas at holly lodge but this one is amazing. And not because I love Danica Mckeller. It's a feel good movie. Shes an artist and they way she brings that out with the kids and her love life is just flawless. Dont listen to all the negative reviews. This is a classic Hallmark feel good Christmas movies and its 100% one of the better ones. And will have your heart flutter. The only thing negative and heartbreaking is that its not on DVD yet for me to buy because the second it is I'm gonna buy like 2 copies I love it that much
