Ambitious young advertising man Phillip Fielder (Chad Lowe) has no time for relationships, and seems to have affection only for his creature comforts -- a source of great dismay for his erstwhile girlfriend, Holly Ford (Marin Hinkle). When his orphaned nephew, an autistic eight-year-old named Zachary (K'Sun Ray), comes to live in Phillip's lavish apartment, Phillip wants no part of surrogate fatherhood and tries to pass the youngster along to his cousin Rose (Miriam Flynn), who happens to live near a group home for special children. But Zach nixes this idea and insists upon living with Phillip, thus throwing together two extremely self-absorbed, obsessive-compulsive characters under one roof. This being a Hallmark Channel presentation, Fielder's Choice will undoubtedly work its way toward a happy and heartwarming finale, though it definitely takes some doing! The film made its TV bow on June 18, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Strapped for cash, Lorelai (Lauren Graham) reluctantly accepts a job from her mother Emily (Kelly Bishop), agreeing to cater the launch party for dad Richard's new business venture. Unfortunately, Emily proves to be as impossible an employer as she is a parent -- and to top it off, the party is scuttled by Richard's new partner Jason (Christopher Eigeman), in favor of a wild Atlantic City bash. Elsewhere, Kirk (Sean Gunn) stages a "test-run" for his date with Lulu (Rini Bell), his brother's former girlfriend; and Rory (Alexis Bledel) is having difficulty keeping up with her studies, thanks to her irksome roommates. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
