A chance encounter on Valentine's Day brings Hannah and Finn together as they race through New York City to return a lost engagement ring and save one couple's special day.
When I first started watching Hallmark holiday films, I used to avoid movies starring Lacey Chabert. I'm not sure why, I don't dislike her, but there was just something that seemed a little overly cheesy about her performances. I know that's a bit of an oxymoron, given Hallmark movies are at their core a cheesefest.
I soon got over those feelings however, and now really enjoy many of her movies. I think in part, it's because she works with some really hot men. If it weren't for Lacy, I would not have been introduced to the ultra hot Ektor Rivera, who I featured, (HERE:) after seeing him surfing it up with Lacy in 2022's Groundswell.
Last week, I recorded Lacy's new holiday film, An Unexpected Valentine. The Valentine theme film featured Lacy and her leading man Finn, played actor Robert Buckley. I think I've only actually seen Buckley in Hallmark movies. Although he's been on a number of popular television shows, I mostly know Buckley from images.
I've not seen a second of the short-lived Lipstick Jungle, but I do remember vividly seeing those tabloid shots of a Robert, only wearing grey gym shorts, playing basketball shirtless. They were all over the net and in magazines back in 2008, and I think did more for Buckley's career than any of his roles on TV.
I've since grown to love his Hallmark appearances, his talent, his beauty, and his on-screen charisma. Buckley brings out the best in his co-stars, and has chemistry with almost everyone he shares scenes with. It doesn't matter whether it's a male, (Jonathan Bennett) or a female co-star, Robert's positive energy is contagious.
Buckley certainly had chemistry with Chabert, and they were great together. The writing was also great, with a fun banter that helped both actors make a rather week story an enjoyable watch. The formula is well known to Hallmark movie watchers. Someone finds a ring, or another piece of jewellery, and make it their goal to reunite it with it's owner. This usually means partnering up with a stranger so that romance can ensue.
Seeing Robert again had me thinking it was a good time to search for some of his hottest shirtless scenes. Given his incredible body, it's not wonder he's been shirtless on screen so much. Most of these shots are from Lipstick Jungle and Fashion House.
