Why?
It was another of the free samples for the month and this one was a Hallmark movie that is the first installment of a trilogy. Seriously hope that they do the smart choice and put the other two up in the coming months but that's highly unlikely.
What in the world?
A chef and a Wall Street broker inherit half a house. They have to try and live together while navigating I don't know life I guess.
Personal thoughts
Literally everyone I watched this with thought that the movie was on speed run mode. Every little plot point that was brought up was almost resolved 5 minutes later. That's insane. I felt like the movie should have been over near the beginning since it's Hallmark and they like to spread things out so that they can reach their special time limit to be considered a movie. The movie did have kids (baby goats if that wasn't obvious from the picture) so that was a good part of the movie.
Score
I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. Although I checked how much time was left like 4 or 5 times, I seemed to be enjoying the movie for the most part. SPOILER: They did that thing at the end where the two main characters get engaged. Not married though that's apparently for the third movie. In the house that they inherited, there was this picture of the owner which they never took down and I think that is kind of weird. Like if you don't know how you're related to the person then I don't think the picture should be left out in a public space. Oh the two main characters were not related though so it's all good on that part. Tommy was a great side character because he could do everything in town and still have time to talk to the yutz from Wall Street.
Daryl
Yes that is a weird new thing but I did not like Daryl. He was the worst ex-boyfriend that I have seen in one of these movies lately. So main lady broke up with him because he was going to Singapore and they just were "geographically...out of sync." So that would make sense. Later she says she misses him and she calls but nothing happens. OK so later he calls her back (she has a landline) and the guy answers and he gets jealous. Keep in mind that they broke up and I don't know how long the time skips are in this movie. ANYWAY, he comes to the house and he tells her something I forgot and then leaves. They kind of get back together but they don't actually. That's weird. Then give it another time skip and he is anxious to speak with her and he proposes. WHAT! That was one of the weirdest parts of the movie. But then she says no and he understands that. They go out in the parking lot and HE KISSES HER! Dude that is the worst thing that you could do buuuuut SHE KISSED HIM BACK! I don't understand and I write this so that someone else can do mental gymnastics trying to figure that whole thing.
Watch what you love,
Your fellow film watcher
