  1. They aired Trading Christmas and I missed it? I'm so bummed. If you all see it scheduled again, can you post about it here? That's my all-time favorite Hallmark Christmas movie. It's on a different level compared to present day Hallmark movies.
  2. I almost want to check out Never Been Chris'd just to see how bad it is for myself. Promos did not appeal to me, even though Tyler is one of my favorites. I'll definitely listen to the Deck the Hallmark recap of this one. So far this year's Christmas movies have been effective sleep aids. Most of the movies I'm looking forward to will air during Thanksgiving week or after.
  3. I too would like to know where this show is supposed to be set. It almost seems to be set in the western US now but somehow still has Mounties. And how is the capital city 22 hours away by train? If the show had not been renewed for season 11, this season would have ended with Lucas and Elizabeth getting married. This flip flop was just to extend the longevity of the show. I don't think the Nathan/Elizabeth fans should get too comfortable. They may keep her changing her mind indefinitely. I don't think Lori Loughlin will come back. I think Hallmark is done with her. Henry was the best part of the season, and Abigail would suck the life right out of him. Pair him with Fiona, I dare you WCTH writers. (Only if the show insists on pairing everyone up; it's also okay to be single and fine with that status).
  4. I feel the same way. The newer actors aren't clicking for me either. But three of my favorites were in movies recently (Polaha, Sustad, and Hynes), and I didn't last more than 30 minutes with those movies either, so for me it's a combination of factors. I wish Hallmark would focus on quality over quantity.
  5. I gave Polaha's movie 30 minutes and it didn't hold my interest. Couldn't get past the age difference and his hair. I will try Paul Campbell's mystery tonight, but the previews look ridiculous. 2023 has not been a good year for Hallmark movies so far.
  6. Maybe it's wedding veil fatigue, but I kind of enjoyed the glacier movie. It had some weird, dropped threads though. The sister took a negative pregnancy test near the end of the movie, but she never told anyone, did she? The female lead didn't spend any time with her sister after that. The redhead massage therapist also mentioned something she needed to share at the dance but then wasn't seen again. I can't pinpoint anything specific that I liked about this movie, other than relief that it wasn't another wedding veil movie.
  7. Haul out the Holly was really enjoyable. It flew by, while some of these movies are such a slog to get through. I liked this one more than Three Wise Men and a Baby. I think my expectations were a little too high for Three Wise Men. I would love to see Melissa Peterman in more Hallmark movies. She and Stephen Tobolowsky were fun to watch. The cameos were also great. I hope Hallmark eventually feels comfortable with leaving out the leads-must-fall-in-love storyline in the occasional movie. This movie and Three Wise Men would have been good without any kind of romantic love story. I enjoyed Wes and Lacey together, but the movie also would have been fine without a kiss at the end.
  8. @bankerchick, Hallmark will lose me too if these movies all start skewing younger. The older I get, the less I can relate to the 20-somethings. If the leads are under 35, I don't even bother. So I skipped Autumn in the City. I did like Mid-Love Crisis since it featured older leads. I wish it would have focused more on Teri Hatcher and James Tupper. They had great chemistry, but too much time was spent on the daughter's proposal plan and the ex-husband. This movie didn't need the ex-husband complication at all. I also don't understand how Three Wise Men and a Baby isn't at the top of everyone's list for this year's crop of Christmas movies. I too watch these movies for the men, but I don't think I realized just how much the female lead seems to drive most people's interest in these movies.
  9. I wasn't a fan of Dating the Delaneys. It really wasn't a multi-generational story. So much of the focus was on Rachel Boston's character. She was a little too bubbly for me here. And the corny jokes were relentless. I appreciate Hallmark trying to bring more humor in these movies, but the bad puns got annoying after awhile. I don't understand why Hallmark doesn't pair up Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad at least once a year. There is at least one Cindy Busby/Chris Russell movie every year, so the network isn't opposed to pairing the same people often. Paul Campbell works better for me in movies where he can be snarky, and this wasn't the right vehicle for that.
  10. This episode was even more boring than usual. I don't understand nor do I care to understand the Walden, Bill, Lucas, Fiona, Henry story. Nathan twirling the gun at the end was hilarious to me. I think this show forgets that it takes place in Canada, except for the mountie aspect.
  11. I'm disappointed in Jill. I don't expect to see her again on Hallmark in anything. She is either lying or extremely obtuse if she doesn't get that her involvement and promotion of GAC burned bridges with Hallmark. It sucks because I'll miss Mystery 101. Jill and Kris had great chemistry. But this whole situation has turned me off to Jill. Hard to explain but her IG post didn't set well with me, and your post makes me think I was right.
  12. Just One Kiss was an unexpected surprise. It's by far my favorite of the 2022 Hallmark movies and something I would actually watch again. I wasn't familiar with the male lead prior to this, but I really enjoyed his singing. I knew of Krysta Rodriguez so I'm glad they found a way for her to sing too. The leads had chemistry, the movie didn't involve party planning, and the misunderstanding didn't last all that long. I thought something was off about the moms from the beginning, but I didn't know for sure until the end. I wish more of the Hallmark movies were as enjoyable as this one.
  13. I didn't notice Kevin's strange attempt at a Boston accent until over halfway through the movie because I was so annoyed by how long the misunderstanding was lasting. Then once the misunderstanding was solved, I noticed the accent and was distracted by that the rest of the movie. The accent came and went. Some sentences he used no accent, and then he overdid it the next sentence. Very odd. Their wedding was comically short. At least cut away a couple times to make it look like you're just skipping over parts. I appreciate Hallmark trying something new with a trilogy of movies and featuring (albeit briefly) more than one of their stars in the same movie. But at the end of the day, this was another party planning movie with a more frustrating than usual misunderstanding. Bankerchick, I would watch your Paul Campbell/Kimberely Sustad amnesia movie. I hope we get a new movie from them this year.
  14. I was disappointed with an Unexpected Christmas. The family constantly talking over each other drove me nuts during the first half of the movie. Then I got bored during the second half. I did enjoy clean shaven Tyler Hynes though. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for these movies this year.
  15. The best parts of Nine Kittens were the kittens themselves and the Paul Campbell cameo. I agree that Paul & Kimberley had more chemistry in that brief scene than Brandon & Kimberley. I sure hope we get a movie with both of them in 2022. I've only watched a few of this year's crop of Christmas movies. Other than Crashing through the Snow, there hasn't been one that I plan to re-watch.
