James Best in The Sweeter Side of Life

Set your DVRs and VCRs! James Best’s daughter Janeen and son-in-law Michael Damian have written and directed a new movie set to air on the Hallmark Channel January 19th. In it, James Best plays the father of a pampered Manhattan housewife who suddenly finds herself divorced and looking to put her life back together. She gets a job working at her father’s bakery. From the trailer (below), it looks to be a great romantic comedy. Check your local listings for air times! For more information, check out The Sweeter Side of Life Facebook page.
