The 2017 film, A Very Merry Toy Store, asks the age-old question: “Could any couple possibly be more adorable than Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez?”

Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina!) and Mario Lopez (Slater!) play rival toy store owners.  (Their fathers once owned one big toy store but that didn’t work out.)  Hart’s idealistic toy store is struggling.  Lopez’s more commercial toy store is thriving.  But they’re going to have to set aside their differences (and accept that they’re totally in love) because a big chain store is coming to town!

It’s a cute movie, one that works because the leads are so likable.  (Brian Dennehy and Beth Broderick are both well-cast in supporting roles.)  What can I say?  I like this movie!  Maybe I just always wanted to own a toy store.

(If I had a toy store, I would so a “Buy a Toy, Get A Free Book” promotion.)
