PLOT:
from Hallmark Channel:

In "Taking a Chance on Love" Peyton investigates a reader's letter which unfolds into a story of lost love and gives her insight into her own life and the risk one must take to fall in love again.

It’s all about trusting your instincts and taking chances for Emmy® Award winner Genie Francis (“General Hospital”) and Ted McGinley (“Hope and Faith”) in the sequel to “The Note,” Hallmark Channel’s highest-rated film of 2007.

Francis and McGinley reprise their roles as a columnist and a sports writer brought together by the power of words and the power of love in the Hallmark Channel Original Movie “The Note II: Taking a Chance on Love”.

Having been reunited with Christine, the daughter she gave up for adoption 18 years earlier, Peyton MacGruder (Francis) is still learning the ropes of parenting. She’s also busy writing her “Heart Healer” column, as well as managing a relationship with coworker and boyfriend King Danville (McGinley).

But when King asks Peyton to marry him, she’s too afraid
to take a chance at a life she deserves. A note to Peyton from a loyal reader of her column leads to a new friendship, one that will teach Peyton that when it comes to making decisions, there’s a time to be cautious and a time to follow your heart.







Movie Review:

You always wonder when you hear there is a sequel… if it can possibly be as good as the original. Well, this one certainly was! I was instantly swept right up in the familiarity of these characters and their life struggles.

I couldn’t wait to see where The Note II: Taking a Chance on Love would take the characters of Peyton MacGruder and Kingston Danville. I loved the way their friendship turned into so much more, yet was so sweet and mature! I appreciate how Hallmark doesn’t feel the need to make their characters immoral… Thank you Hallmark Channel!

I must also mention how handsome Mr. Ted McGinley is in this… he is so debonair ~ he often reminded me of a modern day Cary Grant. …And Genie Francis, is so lovely in this sequel– it was obvious she enjoyed playing this role - because she glowed!

This movie was written intelligently and with great detail into each character. I enjoyed the additional cast members in this movie… especially Eve, (played by Kate Trotter) whose own love story encouraged Peyton to “Take a Chance on love!”

Wonderfully done… I was left wanting more and hoping for a third movie!



See or Skip:

See, if you loved The Note... like I did!!! I loved this sequel and look forward to watching it again on my DVD... and the next time Hallmark airs it. Hopefully you will enjoy it, as well!
