Love Stories in Sunflower Valley (2021)
Awesome
I'm not a great review-writer, but I loved this movie. I like these kind of films in the first place, but it was particularly enjoyable to see a tv romance film with a slightly different sequence of events than the norm. Drew is an absolute gentleman - a truly stand-up guy; they couldn't have cast a better actor to play him. It was nice to the character of Drew be the hero of the movie, while Kate of course is an equally great person, and they complement each other well. I think this movie could inspire men to be true gentlemen, and can be an inspiration for many on the pursuit of love. I very much recommend this one if you like tv romance films.
A Match Made at Christmas (2021)
Apparently disrespect for women and verbal abuse are okay!
I would refrain from showing this film to teenagers or impressionable young people! While protagonist Holly is a loving, positive, forgiving individual, deuteragonist Chris is a volatile, uncaring, verbally abusive young man who treats her too harshly. His level of anger and disrespect for women is a little over-the-top in this film, considering he frequently throws even basic decency out the window during his verbal skirmishes with Holly.
Over the course of the film Chris intimidates Holly, insults her, and verbally abuses her to a point at which a woman should cease contact. Yet Holly continues to be too forgiving, allowing an open door to a possibly toxic future relationship.
Later in the film Chris yells at a kind elderly woman, sticking his face out just a couple feet from hers.
We shouldn't allow our young men to think that this kind of disrespect for women is okay. Likewise, young women shouldn't be trained to give volatile men like this repeated chances at romance.
I generally like these kind of movies, but this one was just terrible. With the exception of the protagonist, the acting was third-rate and the sequence if events would never happen in real life.
