Utter bliss.
All in the name of science - of course.
Hitched for the Holidays
Starring: Joey Lawrence and that crazy chick from 12 Monkeys, who by the way is totally awesome
Original release: 2012
Synopsis: Fed up with their families hassling them, two single adults agree to pose as each other's boyfriend and girlfriend.
I went in thinking Oh My God Joey Lawrence what has my life come to and came quite liking this movie.
There's chemistry, the story's kind of cute and the sap is kept surprisingly low on this one.
Starring: Who knows
Original release: 2013
Synopsis: A widow decides to give up on Christmas.
One of the oddest and unromantic movies. I mean how can you get behind a story where a woman who hasn't even been a widow for a year is pushed into dating again. Come on people let the woman grieve first before you try to fix her up.
Personally I would have joined her in not doing Christmas and just have the two of us hang out drowning our sorrows in a bottle of wine and eating our weight in in chocolate.
But that's just me.
Starring: The chick from Full House
Original release: 2014
Synopsis: A workaholic doctor finds herself moving to a remote town in Alaska.
The sap is pretty strong in this one and if you can't figure out what the 'big secret' is then you really haven't been paying attention. Not that I can blame you. Still the overall story is kind of nice and the girl from Full House is surprisingly better than I thought she'd be.
If they had kept the weird secret out of it I might have enjoyed this a lot more. Sort of like Northern Exposure meets Pollyanna.
Starring: TV actors that I quite like
Original release: 2015
Synopsis: A little bit of magic might just help a widow and her daughter.
Yep another widow. What is it with Hallmark and all these dead people. I'm starting to notice a worrying trend. In fact there's either a dead husband or a dead wife or dead parent or parents. Either way someone somewhere is dead. Not exactly the most romantic thing.
And yeah the sap was here too.
Only thing that got me through this was the chemistry between the two leads who were totally hot by the way.
Starring: A red-head
Original release: 2017
Synopsis: A aspiring romance novelist goes on a writing retreat.
Much better. Pretty much zero sap and hey no dead people. That's a plus right there.
And it's about writing and writers.
Totally me.
Starring: Chad Michael Murray
Original release: 2018
Synopsis: A television producer of a cooking show finds herself unexpectedly on a road trip.
Sap level... low... ish. And CMM is actually okay as a slightly brooding hero.
Like the above I would probably watch this one again.
Starring: Don't know
Original release: 2017
Synopsis: Two rival reporters find themselves stranded in a small town.
There's that annoying sap again. I had to grit my teeth a couple of times, thank God the two leads had at least some cute chemistry going on.
Oh and she's an orphan so there's that dead people factor also.
Wait a minute... this is isn't even made by Hallmark? What the heck?
"head desk"
I give up. I'm just going to watch and eat all the Toblerone I can.
I always love your 'starring'comments ��
