Sweet On You

At times, the Up TV movie that "premieres" (it might not always be new everywhere) on Sundays at 7 P.M. are enjoyable. They are not really deep. Still, if the writing, pacing, and acting work, it can be a nice watch.

Sweet On You is such a film. The reveal that the guy is in town for such and such reason was a bit forced. The male lead seems a bit forced at times. Still, the whole thing is pleasant enough, and even after the reveal (after over an hour in), things continue pleasantly enough. A few familiar faces and the writer/director is another familiar name to television.

Up TV is a sort of somewhat more "faith-based" Hallmark Channel. It also airs Gilmore Girls and Blue Bloods a lot. GG is not quite what I think about this channel but then it is about a teenager who has her baby! A film like this gently teaches a message without slamming it over our heads. It is a good approach for this film or one with a more bluntly Christian message.
