The Other Side Of The Sweeter Side – Update

For those on the East coast and Central regions The Sweeter Side Of Life will have just about finished. The West coasters will have to wait just a little longer. Once you’ve seen it please let us know what you thought with a comment below.

Below is a poll for you to give us a quick reaction to the movie. Was the movie the sweetest thing you ever did see, or had it gone stale before its time?

If you come over all creative and wish to write a more comprehensive critique of the film then please contact us and we’ll put together a special review page for any submissions.

There will be a full KM UK review in a few days.

Also, since the last post we’ve added a few more on set photos to the Gallery, courtesy of Michael Damian and his Twitter feed. Thanks to him for them.

Update (3 February 2013): After two weeks we’ve closed the poll. It was the biggest poll we’ve done with more voters than ever before. As you can see below it was a landslide for the likes with only a few remaining to be convinced. No one went for the hate it option. Thank you to everyone that took part.

It’s The Final Countdown

With just a couple of days to go until the première of The Sweeter Side Of Life we’ve come over all nostalgic.

Not just for the time last year when we first heard of this project (it had the slightly more interesting title of Confections Of A Discarded Woman back then) and we were all clamouring for news about it.

No, for some reason we find ourselves harking back to the 1980s. All the big hair, bright make-up, shoulder pads, rolled up jacket sleeves and dodgy European pop anthems. Can’t think what is causing it…

The gentleman you see on the right, on the set of The Sweeter Side Of Life with Kathryn, is Steve Varnom. He’s the one with the beard 😉 You will have seen him in the trailers and some of the promo photos for the film. Steve plays Eddie, Desiree’s (Kathryn) lawyer and he is one of the many English actors in the film. The full-sized version of the photo is available in the Gallery.

We very much look forward to finding out how that outfit features in the movie, assuming it does. It could very well a highlight 😛

To further mark the pending première we have a couple of poster image updates. The first is an increase in size of the 2nd poster and the other is a new version which looses the Hallmark branding and few more minor changes. They are also now in the Gallery.

Sweeter Side… Trailer 3 HD Screencaps

We didn’t screencap trailer 3 for The Sweeter Side Of Life last week because it was just about identical to the second one we’d posted previously.

Now, however, an HD version of the trailer has been posted on YouTube by Hallmark (another bit of quality work on the title of the video by them we might add) so we thought we might as well.

The images are of the 720p variety as, sadly, the 1080p version is not really full HD, just the 720p one scaled up. Throw in YouTube quality video and what you’re left with is not great. Best to stick with the intermediate size.

The screencaps are now in the Gallery.

Just 5 days to go until the US première.

A “New” The Sweeter Side Of Life Trailer

Over night (UK time) the Hallmark Channel finally got into gear with promoting The Sweeter Side Of Life, a new TV movie starring Kathryn and due to début a week tomorrow (on the 19th January 2013).

The film finally received a more significant presence on the Hallmark Channel’s website with a description of the plot, photos (you’ve seen them here already), a very brief bio for Kathryn and a “new” promo video.

This “new” trailer is akin to replacing the stripe on the side of your old car and calling it a new car. It’s the same as the 2nd trailer KM UK brought to you over a week ago but with a changed font for the title and a purple hue to the graphics instead of blue.

The banner image (see above) on the site, and the similar image that appears at the end of the video (see the Gallery for a larger screenshot) is new as well, though, again, it is more “new” than new and isn’t all as it might first appear. It is clearly based on one of the promotional photos but with new accessories, a painted gloved white hand, re-positioned and reshaped arms, and a re-profiled dress around the cleavage. Kathryn’s face, and possibly whole head, is also not from the original photo. It is probably taken from an unreleased shot from the same photoshoot.

At least they’ve spelt Kathryn’s name correctly this time.

The banner image, screenshot and “new” video are now in the Gallery.
