UP, America’s favorite channel for uplifting family entertainment, presents the UP Original Movie The Love Letter, a romantic drama about the path from friendship to true love, starring Emmy nominee Keshia Knight Pulliam, Romeo Miller, Emmy Award winner and Golden Globe nominee Jackée Harry, Erica Hubbard, Tequilla Whitfield, and newcomer Terrill Patterson.
Gary Wheeler directs from a script by Chazitear Martin. The Love Letter premiered exclusively on UP on Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sunday, Aug. 11 at 7, 9 and 11 p.m. EDT.
The Love Letter explores just how tricky things can get when your best friend is the opposite sex. Parker (Keshia Knight Pulliam), an established entertainment columnist, and her sports-fanatic best friend, Aaron (Romeo Miller), have been inseparable since childhood. They know everything about each other – from her dating mishaps to the fact that he doesn’t love his current girlfriend, which makes his sudden engagement all the more surprising and planning his wedding very difficult.
Parker’s meddling mother, Josephine (Jackée Harry), is determined to get her mind off of Aaron’s wedding by introducing her to “nice guys,” including millionaire Wesley (Marques Houston). Still, Parker finds it impossible to focus on much besides Aaron and his relationship. She decides to explore her feelings in her magazine column, penning a letter from an “anonymous” reader looking for advice. Surprised by the overwhelming reader feedback and her feelings, Parker realizes something about herself and what she really wants out of life.
“The Love Letter is a charming story about the search for happiness and putting friendship to the test for love – something everyone can identify with,” said Leslie Glenn Chesloff, executive vice president of programming, UP. “This film explores the adage that you can find love where you least expect it and that it might be right in front of you all along.”
