Binge Hallmark Channel fans’ favorite couple

Category: Television and Streaming

Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott once again join forces in a new film that will premiere later this fall, their tenth together for the channel. The duo (the Hallmark Princess and Hallmark Hunk) have endeared themselves to fans with their films and TV series.  

One of their movie series, the All of My Heart series of three films, is available to stream on Hallmark Movies Now. This is a great time to binge this adorable story with a fun cast that includes some goats! Yes, three, and later four adorable goats costar with the duo.

The first film, All of My Heart premiered back in 2015. It introduced Jenny (Chabert), a frustrated New York assistant caterer, to Brian (Elliott), a New York Wall Street trader who loves his job and lives for the adrenaline rush, but just got laid off due to a mistake. 

The two meet at an attorney’s office who informs them they have inherited a house together in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. What a break for Jenny who is anxious to get to the house, but Brian wants to sell it and split the profits. 

When they get to the house and Jenny is enchanted but all Brian sees is a dilapidated house. Nevertheless, Jenny talks him into buying him out over time, and turning the place into a B and B. Finally she will have her own kitchen in which to bake her delicacies. 

Unfortunately, Brian has no place to go so he sets up shop in the house and little by little begins to fix things by learning from the local hardware owner/fix-it man Tommy (Daniel Cudmore). While all this is going on Brian still intends on returning to NYC, but when his big chance comes, he is ambivalent. He is getting the hang of the laid back country life, caring for the goats (Gabby and her kids), and enjoying every minute of it. But will his old life call him back for good or will he see, once back in NYC, that being with Jenny, the goats, and the house is where his heart lies?

Two years later in 2017, Hallmark premiered the second film in the series, All of My Heart: Inn Love. The couple have finally managed to turn the run-down house into a beautiful B and B. Things are looking up for them however there still might be a NYC tug nagging at Brian. 

When things start to fall apart at the house and a storm plays havoc on the roof, their money situation is once again something to consider. While they were creating the B and B, Jenny started a pastry business first selling to the local coffee shop then expanding with the help of a distributor. These two have their hands full, and their hearts full as their love grows into an engagement.

in 2018 All of My Heart: The Wedding tied up the series with a nice little bow. With a new threat to the Inn, they might have to sell and start from scratch. Jenny and Brian have endeared themselves to the community, even Vern (Edward Aster), a crotchety old man who never thought they would make it in the country. Well, at least he thought Brian wouldn’t anyway. He calls him a “fish out of water.” But love conquered all and with the whole town pulling for them, the couple begins their life in their little Inn with plenty of friends and long-lost family. 

Binging the three films back to back is important as they play off of each other. The one thing that might annoy viewers is the house itself. In the first house Brian and Jenny couldn’t agree on the color it should be. She wanted yellow and he wanted blue. They compromised with a lovely mint green. However in the next two films the house is different and it is not green. That aspect might throw viewers in the beginning of the second film, but just disregard it. The characters are still the same, even if the house is not.

The All of My Heart series is available to stream (and binge) on Hallmark Movies Now. 

And look for Chabert and Elliott joining together again later this year for a new movie on Hallmark Channel.
