Hallmark movies are meant to be cheesy and comforting while unapologetically leaning into familiar tropes. You don’t really tune into these films for their groundbreaking storytelling because their charm lies in simple, feel-good moments, small-town love stories, and characters who always find their way back home. Even within those boundaries, though, there is no excuse for poor execution. However, sometimes, Hallmark movies seem to forget that they can’t rely on a formula that works when everything else is falling short.
