LOVE, MARRIAGE, FAMILY -- ALL IN A DAY’S WORK; TORI SPELLING, GREG GERMANN AND JORDAN BRIDGES STAR IN ‘FAMILY PLAN,’ A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

Ambitious Career Woman Has the Perfect Family … Someone Elses! in Charming Comedy Premiering February 12

When her new boss turns out to be a gung-ho family man, a single gal schemes to save her job by pretending to be a devoted wife and mother in "Family Plan,” a Hallmark Channel Original Movie designed with valentines in mind.

Charlie MacKenzie (Tori Spelling, “A Carol Christmas”) is an ambitious young career woman who stretches the truth in a job interview by professing to be married with a family. But her little white lie leads to a great big problem when her new boss (Greg Germann, “Ally McBeal”) moves next door. Desperate to maintain her ruse, Charlie “borrows” her best friend’s daughter and scrambles to find a husband-for-hire. When a charming actor (Jordan Bridges, “Mona Lisa Smile”) accepts the role, Charlie’s charade leads to comic complications – and true love. “Family Plan” is a Hallmark Entertainment presentation.
