On January 27, the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie The Makeover will air on ABC at 9 PM.

Hannah Higgins (Julia Stiles) is a smart, driven education consultant. She’s so driven she runs for Congress to advance the cause of education reform. Hannah’s a disaster of a candidate, though—her cold, elitist persona alienates Boston voters; but Hannah and her business partner, Colleen Pickering (Camryn Manheim), don’t give up easily. Next time around, they recruit a candidate who definitely is a people person. Elliot Doolittle (David Walton) describes himself rather grandly as a beer vendor, someone who drives a truck and keeps Boston’s watering holes well supplied with the frothy stuff. Elliot’s thick South Boston accent masks his intelligence; he’s the opposite of prim-and-proper Hannah, but his total lack of pretension and his obvious people skills allow him to connect instantly with anybody and everybody. So, Hannah takes Elliot on as a “project.” If she can just teach him to speak like a gentleman, dress like a gentleman, become a gentleman who can run for Congress and win, and then help promote the cause that Hannah holds dear.

The film also stars Frances Fisher.

The Hallmark Movie Channel movie Goodnight for Justice: Queen of Hearts will debut on January 26 at 8 PM.

Luke Perry reprises his role as circuit judge John Goodnight, an honorable man on a mission to dispense justice, one town at a time. This third movie in the franchise finds Goodnight, as he travels the Western territory in the 1880s, attempting to leave a trail of justice in his wake. Between dealing with difficult defendants and dealing cards at saloons, John crosses paths with a stagecoach under attack. Drawing his gun, he comes to the rescue of the only surviving passenger, a beautiful woman named Lucy Thoreau (Katharine Isabelle), who John doesn’t realize is actually a convicted con artist on the run. Little does she know, John is an honest judge, and as they start to fall for each other on their wild journey, the secrets between them are slowly revealed. Running from Cyril Knox (Ricky Schroder), the wealthy aristocrat who wants her jailed, Lucy must convince John to help her flee – right onto a gambling riverboat. Can Lucy con John into helping her get away with her crimes, or will the fair judge find out her true identity and turn her in himself?

Here is a trailer for Goodnight for Justice: Queen of Hearts.
