So much better than the Golden B series. Michelle Obama has a hit on her hands.

The seniors are all a bunch of characters. Some you love and some not so much. But then they get the right match and you look at them in a whole other light. It was fascinating to watch the transformations.

The counselor knows her business.

The 'kids' who are already adults make it interesting, too, because of their vacillating embarrassment and love for their parent.

I thought I would watch just one episode to start but ended up binge watching it all. You probably will, too, so allow enough time. If you have to get up the next day, don't start it that night.

I saw this short film at the Lake County Film Festival recently and thought it was very good. At the Q&A afterwards, I learned it was the true story of the writer and his friend from high school.

His friend with an eclectic personality suddenly finds out he has testicular cancer and has to spend some time in the hospital. While there, his colorful personality charms everyone, the other patients and the staff alike.

The acting on all accounts was superb and you will get sucked in immediately. It won't be long before you are in love with this guy.

I recommend your seeing this film...but bring the tissues. It runs the gamut on emotions.

I did not feel the chemistry between the main love interests. Both of them are lovely, but it wasn't there for me. That is important for a Christmas movie.

The supporting characters, however, all the way from the office manager seen briefly at the very beginning, up to Berniece, who runs the B&B, stole the show. Another one who did a good job was the ex-girlfriend.

The town the story is set in is enchanting, and it almost looks like a film set, it's so perfect. But, in fact, it's a real town, up to and including the covered bridge. I could live there.

All in all, it's the same ole Christmas move theme, and I, for one, never get tired of watching them. Give it a shot.
