To her with love hallmark movie

The story follows a pretty common formula from start to finish. A young woman loses her job and retreats home. She finds a new job which is in jeopardy because of funding. So she and the other lead plan a showcase to, you guessed it, save the arts program. Even the climax and ending follow the usual formula. This formula story does have some spice in terms of the individuals and their lifestyles. It is just enough spice to hold me through to the end. I don't know if it is another part of the styles inherent in the setting, but at times the story seems disjointed with it jumping from one situation to another without smooth transistion.

There are also some themes that are pretty much cliche. There's nothing wrong with the idea that you can be anything you want, but don't over simplify it. They do mention that you have to put in the work, but while events around them are threatening their own control of their lives, they seem to be leaving that out of the message they are giving their students.

After the usual early antagonism, Skye P. Marshall and Tobias Truvillion have chemistry as Kayla and Jordan work together to save the program. But it was a rough start with Kayla as her arrogance and pride threaten almost every relationship she is trying to develop. At times I questioned her sincerity as well.

In keeping their word to add more diversity to their films, Hallmark Channel recently launched the Mahogany brand of films—named after their popular African American card line of the same name. They debuted the brand last month with Unthinkably Good Things starring Karen Pittman, Erica Ash and Joyful Drake.

The next film under the Mahogany brand is To Her, With Love. Here's everything we know about the film including a Parade.com exclusive sneak peek!

What is To Her, With Love about?

To Her, With Love celebrates the life-changing power of the arts and dedicated teachers. The film's title is an obvious homage to the 1967 film To Sir, With Love starring Sidney Poitier.

In To Her, With Love, Kayla (Skye P. Marshall) heads back to her hometown of Stoneville, North Carolina, after her substitute teaching job at an elite, private high school comes to an early end. On her first day back, her loving yet inquisitive mother (Maria Howell) sets up a job interview at her high school alma mater.

Kayla, who ultimately wants to get into a competitive teaching program in London, is hesitant to apply. However, when she is offered the job on the spot, shortly after learning that her high school best friend Tanya (Brittany L. Smith) is a teacher there, she quickly accepts.

Kayla initially struggles to connect with her students, but Jordan (Tobias Truvillion), a teacher who is devoted to supporting underserved students, steps in to help her. Though reluctant to accept his input, she is soon inspired to try a fresh approach to help each of her students tap into their unique artistic passions and her students begin to flourish.

When Kayla learns the school may be terminating the arts department due to budget cuts, she and Jordan work together to set up a fundraising showcase, with a little help from her longtime friend Shanice Wilson-Knox (playing herself). Soon, sparks are flying between Kayla and Jordan as they discover a shared love of teaching, service and Sidney Poitier movies. However, when Kayla receives a teaching opportunity that would take her away from Stoneville—and Jordan—she finds that her heart may still have a few things to teach her about what will make her happy.
