‘Mr. Write’ streams on UP Faith and Family

Category: Television and Streaming


Mr. Write is a 2016 movie just added to the lineup on UP Faith and Family. It’s unique in that it focuses on two women and their romances rather than just one.

The main story has junior book editor Dori (Charlotte Sullivan) taking on a big assignment. She has been enamored with the romance novels written by Michael Roghchild. So, when the publisher gives her the job to make sure he finishes his next novel or he will be dumped from the company, she gladly and excitedly takes on the challenge. After all, how hard could it be? He has had her enchanted with his past stories, so it should be a slam dunk.

The problem arises when she meets Michael and discovers he is really not a romantic. And he has not even started his novel which is due in one month. He is lazy and has no gumption. How can Dori pull out what she knows he has bottled up deep inside and help him write a story worthy of being a Michael Rothchild romance? It’s not going to be easy.

While helping Michael regain his old style Dori is also dealing with her upcoming nuptials to Philip (Preston Vanderslice). Planning a wedding is stressful in itself, but also having to deal with Michael and his crazy antics, not to mention his awful new story, is almost too much.

In the meantime, her best friend and colleague at the publishing house Pamela (Christie Laing) is being seriously wooed by Tim (Colin Lawrence). Pamela has a commitment issue. Tim, on the other hand, goes all out to get her attention by sending her flowers, chocolate, and texts. She has to either accept the start of a new relationship that could go somewhere, or cut him loose.

While Dori deals with her wedding plans and Michael’s new novel, Pamela decides to cut Tim loose. But he won’t go willingly. And if he does go, will she regret her decision? 

While Michael is regaining his old romantic style and finally living up to his potential, he realizes that Dori is more to him than just his editor. The sticky situation is that she is engaged. But things could change. And being a romance movie viewers already know that love wins out in the end.
