Back to You & Me
Studio: Uni Dist Corp (music) Release Date: 01/25/2011 Run time: 85 minutesBack to You and Me is a truly heartwarming story about love, loss, and the power of family. Originally a TV movie, Back to You and Me carries the emotional impact of a feature film, thanks to stars Lisa Hartman and Rue McClanahan as daughter and mother, estranged but still deeply connected. Both actresses are terrific and compelling.

Movie “Back to You and Me”,
Back to You & Me
I’ve lived a long time and remember when you could go to a movie almost every week and see a “family” type movie in the 1950′s.
Today it it is so rare to find a good movie that when I see one I often buy it if there is a good reasonable story line.
This story is about a middle aged female doctor…..with the body of a 19 yr old and pretty face, (who moves away from home and finally returns home and meets two guys amoung many former friends from the small town she grew up in.
Of course her former “sweetheart” was a quarterback on the HS football team, now a widower with a nice kid with digestive problems, but meantime she winds up seeing “Mr. Right” in a new light of the wisdom of years and the obvious happens but not before several obstacles must be overcome, some of them painfull.
I decided to buy this having seen it on “Hallmark” movie channel, and what do you know, it actually has an ending, much unlike so many Hallmark movies that leave the ending to your imigination which drives me crazy.
While my passion was and still is Politics both local, national and international, history of the world and the reason for all the wars and joined the Army in 1963 for Combat Infantry (you could say I’ve been an agressive guy towards “bad guys” all my life to this very day, I have learned over many years so many people are not happy with their marriages and feel sorry for them because so many made the wrong choices….looks, money, you name it.
I won’t say I was just plain lucky to find the “Right Girl” 6 yrs my junior, I knew what I was looking for, a REAL housewife so it was a total surprise to meet my 17yr old in her senior year of high school and after having seen so much “real life” in the army via my last 1 1/2 years in the army as support for Military Intelligence, I found someone so young and untarnished by the dark side of life…..and she made me cookies for Christmas 2 mos after I met her….definitely brought out the romance in this man even tho she was so young which led to her marrying early at 18 to my age 24.
The above is the explanation for why a guy turns to romantic movies after reading military history, rather gory reading by any account; even I need a break in the action which my ADHD brain craves.
Here’s to true love successes and happy days; enjoy the movie; both me and my wife did!

|Feel Good Movie,
This was originally a Hallmark TV movie and is being released on DVD January 25th.
As the movie starts we meet Nurse Brenda and a surgeon nicknamed Mr. Personality who tells a nurse that a a patient passed and the room is now available. Finally we meet Sydney played by Lisa Hartman Black who is a sympathetic doctor who feels a tremendous burden and a heart full of remorse as one of her patients is close to dying. She decides to head home for a high school reunion. Going home isn’t easy for her as she and her mother played by Rue McClanahan haven’t spoken since her father passed away. She has a misconception of her mother and what happened during her fathers final months.
Upon her return she finds out her mother has turned her house into the only B& B in town and has to stay there. She runs into her high school sweetheart, Gus, played by Dale Midkiff (I knew this guy from somewhere, his eyes were so familiar – He was in Pet Cemetery) who lost his wife and is now dating Connie a woman who is determined to settle down with him.
High school party boy, who is now a minister plays match maker to Gus and Syd, getting them together for a picnic.
Gus and his son (who has been sick since birth) take Syd on a picnic at the park and reminisce about high school days and life.
Finally the inevitable happens and Gus’ son takes a turn for the worse. Syd gets him to the hospital, he has surgery everything is better.
Without giving the entire ending away, all loose ends are tied up on a pretty bow without being too sappy.

|Loved this movie,
I have loved this movie from second I saw who was in it. Lisa Hartman Black, Dale Mitkif, and Rue Maclanahan. This movie is predictable but very very good. I have watched it over 30 times and love it more every time I do. Very good wholsome movie for the whole family. Sid (Lisa) comes back to her home town for her class reunion after going to medical school. and it all spirals from there a lost love and a little boy that needs medical help.
