Category: Television and Streaming

Great American Family brings an inspiring story to viewers in their original Easter film From Candace Cameron Bure Presents: Just in Time. It’s a story of love, loss, and hope.

Laura Osnes stars as Hannah, business owner, wife, and wanna-be mom. She and her husband Rowan (Greyston Holt) have been trying to have a baby with no luck and a lot of strain on their relationship. Hannah is obsessed with having a baby, but this pressure is too much for Rowan. He decides they need a weekend apart and spends the Easter holiday with his parents, leaving Hannah to stew in the fact that her marriage is crumbling. Not one to turn to God, she decides it is her last hope to save her marriage.

Hannah receives a call from a man who says he found her watch. Actually, it is her husband’s watch. This gold watch has her phone number (land line of all things) engraved on the back with the date of her wedding. But Hannah doesn’t think Rowan owns a gold watch. Franklin (Peter Bryant) asks to meet her to give the watch back. He enjoys returning lost items to people, and has been successful in that endeavor with the help of his trusty metal detector. 

Meeting Franklin changes her life. Together they set off on a quest to find out about the watch. Who does it belong to and why are her phone number and the initials RO engraved on the back? It’s been pretty beat up so they surmise the RO is the first part of Rowan’s name. Makes sense. Why not? But things are not what they seem in this story.

As the two start to unravel the history of this unique watch, they meet several people on this emotional journey. Franklin imparts plenty of sage advice which Hannah finds relevant to her life and her future. What is she supposed to do about her life and her marriage? Has it run its course? As Franklin says, live in the moment and God will guide her in his own time. But he has not been completely forthcoming with Hannah, so they both have a lot to learn from each other.

Their journey leads them from one person to another as they search for the answers to the mystery of the watch. Who would engrave a telephone number on their watch? That in itself is unusual. But also, why does it have the date of her anniversary as well? The clues unravel as the story takes Hannah on a journey of discovery and hope for her life. She finally learns to let go of things that are distressing and give them over to God. Yes, this is a religious movie, after all. It’s the 2024 Easter film from Great American Family. And yes, this is an engaging story with a happy ending for everyone.

From Executive Producer Candace Cameron Bure, Just in Time premieres March 26, 2024 on Great American Family.
