‘Swing Into Romance’ on GAF

Category: Television and Streaming

Danica McKellar is joined by David Haydn-Jones in this new romantic tale of life, love, and family. Coming from Great American Family, you know it’s going to be a warm and fuzzy film, and with McKellar you also know there will be plenty of sweet scenes. Swing Into Romance takes viewers from a country farm to a dancing competition where everything is at stake – including not only the farm but also the lives of two of the competitors, namely Christine Sims (McKellar).

Eight years ago Christine and her Russian dance partner/fiancé were at the top of their game. Going for their third championship just didn’t work out so when things fell apart in their final dancing competition, it also fell apart for their engagement. They went their separate ways and Christine went back to college to complete her business degree. Now, before beginning her new job – with a corner office – in Seattle, Christine decides to take a few weeks off and visit her home town, reacquaint herself with old friends, and help her parents in their general store. When she discovers they might lose the store due to financial difficulties, she begrudgingly dusts off her dancing shoes to attempt to win the competition and the prize money which would save the family store.

So, who will be her dance partner? Will it be her old fiancé with whom she has a past and a great dancing relationship or will it be her new “friend” Matthew, who just happens to have volunteered for the job. The prize money is on the line but even if they lose, between Matthew’s CPA and Christine’s MBA, they’re sure to find a solution to save the general store and her family’s farm.

McKellar is adorable and fun to watch as she struts her stuff on the dance floor. Just watching her graceful moves and especially her big, energetic smile is enough to put a swing into your own hearts and minds. It is a fun little story of losing something important in one’s life, starting fresh, rediscovering an enjoyment that was lost a long time ago, and also discovering a brand new love. Well, what do you expect from a GAC film –  a nice story with an enjoyable cast, and possibly a little toe-tapping along the way.  Plus, the fact that McKellar was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars adds to her professional dance moves on the dance floor. Also, professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, plays Sims’ ex-dancing partner and former fiancé.

Swing Into Romance premieres October 7, 2023 on Great American Family, TV’s fastest growing network for 11 straight months.
