Reviews:

☀ "Watched 27 hour day, it was ok. Not terrible but not great. Autumn was good, Andrew was good, just didnt really feel anything between them. This movie had the most diverse cast of people in the town in Montana. They went to the honey festival, and it was like they cast people of every race to play the side characters. The people that adopted the pig, asian. It was montana and I only saw one man with a cowboy hat on that looked like a rancher. everyone else was a quota to fill." ~Sabrina

☀ "Loved The 27-Hour Day! Completely family friendly and another Autumn Reeser winner. She is such a great actress and paired well with Andrew Walker." ~Jennifer R

☀ "27 Hour Day wasn't bad but somehow it never reached its potential. I love both Autumn and Andrew but the real star was the pig. After watching it once, I thought perhaps it was just me so I watched a second time. Will not be waiting for this DVD. It is definitely family friendly." ~kitkat

Sealed With a Kiss: Wedding March 6

Starring: Jack Wagner, Caitlin Stryker, Josie Bissett, and Nathan Witte

Premiere Date: Saturday, August 14, 2021 at 9pm/8c

Storyline: Before saying “I do” themselves, Mick and Olivia are hosting the wedding of an A-list actor and his fiancée. But when the low-key celebration morphs into an event that’s anything but that, they have to quickly pivot to pull it off. Meanwhile, when Mick gets an exciting opportunity Olivia won’t let him turn down, they’re faced with delaying their own nuptials until a last-minute change in plans gives both couples the weddings of their dreams.

Review:

☀ "Sealed With a Kiss: Wedding March 6 - is family friendly. I loved seeing Mick and Olivia together again in this 6th "Wedding March" film! Since they've been friends for years, Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett have such an easy-going flow to their relationship, on and off screen. At this point, Mick and Olivia's relationship is unwavering and rock solid, which I truly appreciated. No obstacle, big or small, was going to get in their way. In this movie they are helping another couple, Curt and Autumn, plan their wedding day at the inn, which is only a week before their own. This couple, however, have plenty of issues: Curt's a famous rising actor and Autumn's a children's author. His publicist thinks they need a big celeb-style wedding and the bride just wants simplicity, which causes lots of friction between the two. I wasn't overly fond of the on-going tension between Autumn and Curt, but I did enjoy all the sweet moments with Mick and Olivia. I missed seeing Mick's friend, Duke, and their daughters, but it was wonderful to see Olivia's mother, played by actress Susan Hogan (Time for Me to Come Home for Christmas, The Christmas Secret, etc...). Even with all ups and downs, this trip down the aisle is a must see finale for the "Wedding March" movie series." ~Net

☀ "It was so good to see Jen and Ryan together again. As veteran Soap Stars they made it more realistic. I enjoyed it. Btw, I haven't seen a soap since I was 16 years old - a long, long, time ago." ~Namegirl

So... what do you think of these NEW upcoming Summer Nights movies for August? I'm so glad we finally get to see Mick and Olivia's wedding day! Yay, finally! It's also nice to see Jen Lilley and Ryan Paevey paired together again; they were great together in Harvest Love. Since both Ryan and Jen have worked on soap operas in the past, this story seems ideal for them.

I'm also a big fan of Autumn Reeser and Andrew Walker, and Wes Brown - so I'm looking forward to their new movies, too. I always love a good movie set on a farm, and I'm quite intrigued to see the inner-workings of a pecan farm! How about you? Which one (or more) are you looking forward to???

Please note: I have not pre-screened these new movies. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly after they premiere, please share in comments.
