Who isn’t a sucker for Hallmark Movies? Not only women but men enjoy the fantasy, calls of the heart, and love knots between the leading men and women. Give me a box of chocolates and my comfy chair. It can’t get much sweeter.
I’m all in!
Unlike a box of chocolates, Hallmark Movies have very few surprises. The producers and writers want the viewers to experience a predictable happy ending every time. And why not? Our lives are filled with uncertainties in the real world, and botched things aren’t always mended.
Can you really botch love? Maybe it wasn’t meant to be. Who knows?
But why not get it right every time in the alternative reality of Hallmark Channel Movies?
And about that box of chocolates. There’re always one or more morsels of candy that I don’t particularly care for. But with the Hallmark Movies, every bite of romance is tastefully designed. Even the ‘I got you’ near falls off ladders and steps prevented by dashing suitors taste and feel like something dreams are made of.
And the landings into the arms of chivalrous gentlemen get a perfect score of 10.0.
If you’re a Hallmark Channel-holic, you know that it’s a Sunday morning feeling all week long. We gaze as one of the extras on the set, and our hearts go pitter-patter during the climactic love confessions and the ‘I love you too (s).’ Here love always wins.
The love story is not only timeless but timely.
Within two hours, adults who used to be teenage sweethearts realize they still love each other. Their love springs anew. But not until they see each other after some years have passed and a third party helps open their eyes and hearts. And there are also complete strangers who experience love at first sight.
Love at first sight? Whether you believe in it or not. It’s the stuff of Hallmark Movies.
You got it bad when you can watch the same Hallmark Movie several times from beginning to end. And your teeth make a prominent showing in the same scenes and places.
If it’s family movie time, tune into the Hallmark Movie Channel.
The characters are up-standing professional and hardworking men and women next door. They are regular folks. Some parents are meddlers, but they are supportive of their adult children making their dreams come true. The stories emphasize that love is what life is all about—not financial success.
I know the stories are cheesy, and life is not as simple as a Hallmark Movie or television love. But adults like fairy tales too. Who doesn’t like that the couple lives happily ever after?
The thing about the H movies is that the stuff oozing from hearts isn’t blood. It’s not an ‘I’m Going to kill you sucker’ movie. The movies are so sweet; you have to watch one after another to satisfy his or your sweet tooth for romance.
Be safe.
