Comments on: Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor to Be a TV Movie http://www.likesbooks.com/blog/?p=8693 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:41:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: lisa g http://www.likesbooks.com/blog/?p=8693&cpage=1#comment-73205 lisa g Tue, 21 Aug 2012 18:32:12 +0000 http://www.likesbooks.com/blog/?p=8693#comment-73205 Sean Faris is 30 years old and Eloise Mumford is 26, so they’re plenty old and mature enough for the roles of Mark and Maggie, respectively. They’ve both cut their acting chops elsewhere, so let’s give htem a chance and hope that Hallmark does a good job with Lisa Kleypas’ wonderful story.

I’m not familiar with the actors here, either, but I’m going to be open minded – and warily excited. I think the fact that Friday Harbor was a shorter book/novella may also work in it’s favor. Here’s hoping it’s really good!

Are you guys fans of the ABC Family/Hallmark channel Christmas movies? I may have been known to watch these on occasion. Even when it isn’t the holiday season. Lisa Kleypas has announced her book, Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor is going to be a movie this December. They are changing the title to Christmas with Holly. Sean Faris (above) will play Mark. I haven’t read this book, but I did read the next book in the series, Rainshadow Road and enjoyed it. I might have to sneak this one is before I watch the movie. For more info, go here. [...]

Despite watching too many really badly made TV movies, I’m hopeful that this one will be wonderful. Hurrah for Kleypas! I also hope that TV pays better than publishing. I’ll be watching for this in December.

She deserves the best and Sandy is right we should all be hopeful and excited about a holiday movie inspired by one of our favorite authors.

I choose to view this more optimistically than many of you. The NR movies weren’t all great, but a few weren’t bad. This is a different production company altogether and unlike the NR movies will be on a major network. I love LK and am very excited at this exciting opportunity for her. I’m not thinking of massacred scripts right now, but am hopeful and excited. I think the book is a great basis for a holiday movie.
