What better time is there to see movies bursting with romance and comedy than during the festive season – which it is – with the Christmas holidays just around the corner.
This special collection of three movies certainly shows that where there is love – there is life. They certainly attest to the truth in Katharine Hepburn’s statement: “Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything”.
In the first movie Flip That Romance, rival house ‘flippers’, Jules Briggs (Julie Gonzalo, Dallas) and Lance Waddell (Tyler Hynes, The Transporter), renovate dual sides of a duplex and rekindle an old romance.
The Art of Us gives credence to what Eva Gabor said: “Love is a game that two can play and both can win”. Harper Higgins’ (Taylor Cole, CSI: Miami, Heroes) life is all about art, even though she has given up on painting herself after a disappointing relationship. She still loves to teach though. When she meets Tom Becker (Steve Lund, Good Witch), her charming new dog walker, things seem to fall into place again.
Tulips in Spring shows that love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable. An interior designer must halt her work on a big project in order to return home and assist her injured father at her family’s tulip farm in rural Washington state. The lead cast is Fiona Gubelmann (The Good Doctor) and Lucas Bryant (Haven).
