Featured DVD Review: The Seven Year Hitch
March 3rd, 2013
The Seven Year Hitch is the latest Hallmark Channel original TV movie to land on my desk. I fully admit I'm not in the target audience of these movies, but I've reviewed so many of them in the past, that I think I can judge this film based on how well it works compared to the others. Is it a fun romantic comedy that is worth checking out? Or does it live down to the reputation of TV movies?
