Featured reviews
I absolutely adored this movie! The premise was sweet, and I could relate to the inner child aspect. It was a different angle, which I appreciated.
Juniper was quite uptight initially but loosened up as the movie went along, thanks to her young self, Junebug. The premise really made me think about my young self and those dreams/wishes I had back then.
Autumn's co-star Aaron O'Connell, who I haven't seen in a while, was a lovely match. They had awesome chemistry. The evolution of their relationship was realistic.
The boombox sealed it for me.
It is definitely a rewatch and I am pleased with the news summer movies.

I always enjoyed Autumn Reeser in her movies on Hallmark. She always brings a freshness and realness to her characters . This movie was no exception . And Aaron O'Connell has a naturalness on camera and he's very handsome to look at.
This movie was very enjoyable. The two leads had a wonderful chemistry and the young actor playing the child Junebug was adorable and talented. I also love the actor playing the café employee. I have seen them in a few other roles on Hallmark. They really need to be included in many more.
The scenery was beautiful. The whole movie gives you a warm, cozy feeling, and puts a smile on your face.

Love Autumn Reeser and Aaron O'Connell is okay, so wanted to check this out. Read an article that it took Autumn five years to get this made, so thought it would be something special. As I watched, I had the feeling I'd seen this before. Did a little digging and, sure enough, If You Believe was the original. I remember enjoying that film with Ally Walker and Hayden Panettiere. Junebug changed some details, but not enough to make this film original or warrant a five year production cycle, in my opinion. Autumn is always great and has wonderful chemistry with any scene partner, so if you're a fan of Hallmark movies you'll like this one. I recommend you watch the movie it's based on as that one was really good.
I liked it . Very much. For...realism or , with another word , for my reflection, maybe too ...faithful.
I am uncle and I know the wisdom , with authoritarian sparkles , of an eight age old girl. I dreamed , in childhood , be writer, becoming , as adult, teacher.( history, as compensation ). So, not very far by main character. I feeled very fair to present the parents seeing their almost 40 years old daughter at the age of 8 years. And real preocuped, naive and good intentioned.
And, indeed, I loved the supporting characters, especially Micah , well crafted by Donia Kash or the lovely Kate in Cheyenne Rouleau performance .
Not last, I admitt, Autumn Reeser and Aaron O Connell are fair options for main characters. So, pretty different by too familiar recipe, sure only at nuances level. But this is , obvious, a virtue.

A children's book editor, who really wants to be a writer, but isn't, "runs into" a very talented muralist.
At about the same time, her "eight year old self" shows up in her life. The little girl that plays that role is awesome!
The lead actress breaks up with the predictable, regular steady guy and goes out on a limb with the new muralist Illustrator. They begin to do a book together.
BTW Hallmark is putting the first kiss earlier and earlier into their movies.
Of course, the arc of the plot has to have a disappointing moment, and this one does.
This is funny, Hartfelt, and inspiring. I recommend you give it a try.
