Hallmark’s All’s Fair In Love & Mahjong Has Star-Studded Cast
The second movie in the May For Moms collection is All’s Fair In Love & Mahjong. This stars Fiona Gubelmann and Paul Campbell. There are some special co-stars including Melissa Peterman, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, and Tamera Mowrey-Housley.
Jessica Harmon is the director of this movie and the upcoming April romcom I’ll Be Seeing You.
The script is by Betsy Morris and Nina Weinman, with the story from Morris. Hallmark fans know Betsy from the recent Two For Tee, and Nina, she is known for We Met In December.
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.
The premiere of All’s Fair In Love & Mahjong is on Saturday, May 9, at 8 p.m. Eastern, and streaming on Plus the next day.
