All’s Fair In Love & Mahjong has a who’s who of Hallmark stars starring in it, including:

• Fiona Gubelmann (Christmas Next Door, Tis The Season To Be Irish)
• Paul Campbell (Three Wise Men And A Baby Franchise, Christmas By Starlight) 
• Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe (Signed, Sealed, Delivered Franchise, Christmas At Dollywood) 
• Melissa Peterman (Reba, Happy’s Place, Haul Out The Holly Franchise) 
• Tamera Mowry-Housley (Sister, Sister, Haunted Harmonies Mystery Franchise)

The film’s official description reads: 

“Ronni (Gubelmann) is a beloved school nurse and devoted mom, who hosts a longstanding mahjong game with her dear friends, Shelley (Lowe), Carly (Mowry-Housley), and Melissa (Peterman). When Ronni becomes an empty nester, her whole world tilts — her daughter leaves for college, her hours are cut, and her ex insists it’s time to sell the home she’s poured her heart into. But a chance moment at a school fundraiser reveals her unexpected gift for teaching mahjong — and sparks a connection with Ben (Campbell), a charming contractor whose family needs a little healing of its own. As Ronni brings community after community together through the game she loves, she discovers that sometimes the hand you are dealt changes everything. With her future in the balance, Ronni must learn to bet on herself… and maybe on love, too.”

This film is incredible. Fiona, Paul, Yan-Kay, Melissa, and Tamera all stand out in this beautiful film. I love that you get to see what Ronni is going through, while also teaching everyone her love of Mahjong. This film also shows how a simple game connects an entire community. 

I love that you also get to see Ronni and Ben’s relationship grow as the film progresses. It’s really cool to see them connect over Mahjong and her house needing to be repaired. One other fun thing is seeing Ronni teaching everyone in the community how to play the game, and I love that so much. 

Hallmark Channel’s All’s Fair In Love & Mahjong is a film that everyone needs to check out. It is a fun, wholesome film to watch with your entire family or even your friends.
