I think we can all agree that Hallmark movies are the absolutely worst.
The girl gets the guy, they win the cookie baking competition, the girl finds her forever home, etc.. They’re corny and all made on low- budget sets with low- budget actors. But we can’t help but sit and watch our wildest fantasies unfold over and over again.
I mean seriously, who doesn’t want to fall in love for Christmas with the most perfect man. Lame-O’s, that’s who. So how do we weed out the terrible Hallmark Christmas movies from the ones actually worth watching?
