TV FILM REVIEW | ‘THE STARS BETWEEN US’ WRITES A ROMANCE IN THE STARS
‘ROMANCE AT HOPE RANCH’: NEW DREAMS BEGIN. Review of the #Hallmark review of #RomanceatHopeRanch with #AlisonSweeney. #Loveuary Share on XPutting Sweeney and Hogan in the lead roles here has a headline or two because of their long-standing working relationship in the Hannah Swenson Mystery movies where the latter plays the former’s best friend. In this, of course, they have a different relationship, but practiced stars they are, it plays well. I haven’t seen the mystery movies from Sweeney’s franchise for a long time, but fans will likely enjoy seeing them as co-stars in something else. They are also likely to enjoy the promoted performance by another co-star which is Megan Sweeney, and yes, this is Alison’s daughter.

Whereas its campaign peers this year have played with destiny or romance with a sliver of magic, this title is more centered in reality. It has a lot of comical things and has Alison playing a resilient character determined to make it on her own and so we see her put in the work, while dealing with a mischievous chicken! But regardless of this one being different that its month mates, the movie is still a lovely watch if you enjoy Hallmark titles.
Stream, at publication (next-day), Romance at Hope Ranch with Hallmark+; catch the network debut tonight, February 28th on Hallmark Channel.
