A Royal Christmas on Ice

 

Why?

There is one way to get me hooked on a Christmas movie and that's having it be royal. There's something intriguing about it. I can't quite explain why it just hooks you in.

What in the world?

A prince wants to buy his own minor league hockey team and goes to a small town to scope out the land or something. He falls in love with a failed Olympic ice skater. She's not that good by the way.

Personal thoughts

This movie sucked. I have so little and so much to say about this movie. I mean the characters sucked and you didn't want to root for any of them. The man was just weird and we called him a frog because he always did a frog smile. The main lady sucked because she acted like a child the entire time. She always made everything about her too. I didn't quite get it. Chad was in this movie. He acted like a Chad but he looked like a twig. It was kind of weird. The only good character in this movie was Marshall who was the servant. He reminded me of someone I know which was nice I suppose. He was a snitch though so that sucked. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 0.3 out of 10. This movie was almost physically painful to watch. I mean the pacing sucked and when I went to find that screenshot I was surprised at how far in some of the scenes were. They just didn't match the timeline in my head. Oh the screenshot. That is candy cane cheeseburger casserole. An abomination that should never have been invented. I mean look at it. That is peppermint on noodles. That's not ok. Either way the movie sucked but the ice skating done by professionals was really neat. Other than that nothing good can be said about this movie.

A Merry Christmas Wish

 

Why?

It's late June so that means Christmas in July is just around the corner. As a preemptive watch, we found this movie and decided to watch it. We didn't realize that the main guy was a character that we'd all seen before and disliked.

What in the world?

A marketing executive inherits her great uncle's farm and ends up helping with a community festival. She also ends up falling in love with her best friend's older brother and the farmhand on the farm. He does both of those jobs by the way.

Personal thoughts

This movie was only painful to sit through because of the main guy. He looks like a cheeseball and acts like one too. That's not very fun to watch when you've seen it a thousand times before. You might be thinking that all romantic movies in this style are the same, but you would be wrong. A seasoned expert would tell you that this cheeseball is definitely different than the other cheeseballs. Anyway, the ex-boyfriend of the main girl wasn't even that bad. He was just trying to help when he could. He even came back early from their planned vacation to surprise her. I mean he went on it without her but still. Also, they had camels at a petting zoo. That was pretty cool so that's a positive.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. The plot was ok. I feel that they should have showed more of the hyped up festival because it was barely in the movie. I think it was 10 minutes out of the whole thing. Very frustrating. The main lady was ok. She didn't really do much and she also thought that cleaning out a farmhouse would take 3 days to clean out. That was probably the craziest part of this movie. It was very funny.

Catering Christmas

 

Why?

Amazon Prime likes to recommend movies when you log on so this was one of the recommendations. My family is a sucker for Christmas romance movies so we decided to watch it.

What in the world?

A catering company is trying to stay afloat during the holiday and are hired to cater a gala for 25 people. Romance ensues with the caterer and the gala host's nephew.

Personal thoughts

This movie was pretty cliché. I mean the gala was super lame. I mean for a very famous foundation that has done much for the community, they sure do invite very little people to this event. I mean it was hosted in their living room for crying out loud. The main romance was ok, but the old person romance in this movie was unforgivable. I mean it was just so random and happened near the end. The aunt literally initiated the kiss by saying "You're fired." That is the least romantic thing you could say to someone when you go in to kiss them. I guess they're happy or whatever.

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. There were a couple of things that were interesting, but the rest of the movie fell flat. The rival catering company was strange because it was a brother duo but you only ever saw the one. I think they should have shown both brothers for no reason other than to establish that they were actually brothers and there were actually two of them. The main guy was so cheesy though and I mean that's not saying much but still.

The Trial of the Incredible Hulk

 

Why?

My mom and I needed something to pass the time, so we decided to check our favorite streaming site: Tubi. This was the first thing that we saw in the Sci-fi section of recommendations and figured we would watch it.

What in the world?

David Banner hops around from town to town hoping to find work where he doesn't have to work with other people. He finds himself in league with Daredevil as he takes down Fisk and his evil corporation. 

Personal thoughts

For a movie about a trial, David Banner spends little time in a courtroom. Also, for a movie about the Hulk, it spends little time with the Hulk in it. Overall, Daredevil spends more time in the movie than the Hulk. I think the movie dragged its feet a lot, but then when they realized they were running out of time they decided to add in the interesting things. The ending seemed to get chaotic as they were taking down Fisk. I appreciate that but not when it comes to the very end of a movie. Oh and SPOILER! The Hulk wasn't even in the end of the movie when it mattered. It was very upsetting because the Hulk is super cool.

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It felt like I was watching a 2 hour movie when it was an hour and a half. I still really loved the chaotic ending to the movie. That's really where the good scoring comes from for the movie. I mean the beginning was fine and the way they introduced Daredevil was kind of odd. My mom thought he was an evil guy and I thought he was a random person. At least they both defended The City from evil. Yes The City was the actual name of the town.

Easter Under Wraps

 

Why?

We were going to search to watch a movie but then this movie fell into our laps. Easter was the next day so it was also thematic as well.

What in the world?

A chocolate company salesperson is going undercover in the chocolate factory to see what's happening with the new machines they are putting in. There is love in this movie too because it's a Hallmark movie.

Personal thoughts

This movie was very odd. It was following the tropes of a Christmas movie but it was with the holiday, Easter. That made the movie even worse because it was weird watching Easter festivals when I've never even heard of one. The main character was doing an undercover boss thing but she was doing a horrible job of it. I feel like before they made their chocolate presentation she should have come clean as being his upper in the company. That was just a personal preference kind of thing. The competing chocolate company was really strange. They would finish each other's thoughts without even thinking about it. That was probably the best dialogue in the whole movie. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 3 out of 10. The little kid was very annoying and was really dumbed down. I mean she would like make these weird faces and her dialogue was just unrealistic. The only realistic thing she said was "Hippity-hoppity juice". Speaking of that, that juice was insane. The list of ingredients almost sounded like every fruit under the sun. It was wild. I want to talk about the best subplot in this movie. The manager of the factory was complaining about her chair at the beginning of the movie. The undercover boss gets her a new chair and both of the main characters have a line of dialogue for the new chair and it's amazing.

Farmer Seeking Love

 

Why?

This movie came up in my search when I was trying to find the name of the new farmer dating show. I knew that I had to try and watch this movie.

What in the world?

A reality dating producer goes and tries to convince a farmer to be the suitor (aka like the bachelor) on the show. And then the unthinkable happens.

Personal thoughts

This movie had more interesting sub characters than main characters. I mean the producer's friends were cool and her boss was kind of awkward but in a cool way. The farmer's sister was pretty chill in her own right even though she signed her brother up for the dating show without his permission. I think in terms of the movie it wasn't that special. I mean the farmer's main line was just the word "ok." It was pretty much his go to phrase the entire movie. It was the last line too which was so funny. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10 because it was just so boring. I mean all they really talked about was farming and writing basically. It got kind of boring after a while. Also, the farmer only really agreed to do the show because he wanted money. I mean I can't really blame him but it made his entire outlook more negative which made him even more boring somehow. Anyway, there's only one way to end this review. Ok.

Beauty and the Billionaire

 

Why?

I think what got me was the movie's title. I couldn't see a description but the title just looked really awful.

What in the world?

A girl has to travel to an island with her brother because he broke his leg in a scooter crashing into bike incident. She has to go around the island with his boss and surprise surprise they develop a connection.

Personal thoughts

This movie was decent. I mean there wasn't much to it. The shots of the plane were the absolute worst and best thing I've seen watching a movie lately. I mean the effort that went into it was great but the budget was clearly low. The dialogue felt really stale and that kind of ruined the movie for me. Also the ending really surprised me because I was not expecting it at all. SPOILER! He asks her brother how to make origami and he beats her to her apartment. She gets back from her flight and notices that her room is filled with regular flowers and then he's just standing there with an origami bouquet. That's nightmare fuel for me right there. Besides the headache think of all the care that those flowers need. The place was packed. I mean there wasn't a flower free space in there. I guess that's just one of the perks of dating a billionaire. 

Score

I have to give this movie a 6 out of 10. I found myself kind of enjoying the  movie but the kid actor kind of got on my nerves. She would hear a conversation and then just ask a painful question that had been answered in teh conversation. There was no reason for that so I don't know why they did that. Oh and the brother had to listen to all of the relationship drama because it was his boss and sister. I can only imagine how awkward that would be but you could tell that he didn't really want to listen to it but he was there for both of them. Probably my favorite character honestly.
