Happy Hallmark

See this picture above?  Ya, I already know the ending of this Hallmark movie, Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade, just by looking at this preview snapshot.  I have not even seen this movie, but it is so easy to tell the ending. This is one of my biggest pet peeves: Hallmark movies.

Who has ears like this??? Overly FAKE!

Yes, I do enjoy these films at times, but do they really have to be so predictable?  Before this film has started, I made the prediction that the girl will fall in love with a random guy, she meets the “Santa guy” in the picture but doesn’t like him, the random guy will eventually not be right for her, and she falls deeply in love with the “Santa guy”.  After watching the movie, I realized I was right.  This was just a sample film of how one can easily tell how the overly cliché movie will end before actually watching the movie.  It’s like how a person can tell that the sky is blue—it’s just common sense.  Why can’t the script writers be creative enough to just kill someone important at the end to make it more interesting?

Emma Watson's acting emotions vs. Kirsten's

 Hallmark movies are also unrealistic.  In the real world, the girl may not always get the guy that actually treated her right, but in the Hallmark movies the world is always perfect.  No sadness, only happiness.  I mean it's a little stupid to watch an entire movie about Santa's daughter or niece falling creepily in love with some random guy.  I mean common people...

Another thing is how overly fake these actors/actresses are.  If it is really that hard to speak a few lines at a time without sounding like a posed character, then you probably shouldn’t act. Or if the character acts like Kirsten Stewart, with only one emotion displayed throughout the movie, then they shouldn't act either. The movie budget must be horrible if the directors cannot pick anyone to properly display the characters without the actors/actresses acting like a discombobulated, dumb blonde.  

I may be the only one that hates watching these movies, but why watch something that is poorly written, has terrible actors/actresses, and is the farthest thing from reality? There are so much more thing that one can do instead of wasting your time watching these pointless movies.  Some examples are:

• You could finish the piles of homework that you're lovely teachers has given you.
• You could go see a newly released movie at the theater (one of which actually has a good story plot, characters, and has a tie to reality).
• You could go outside and enjoy the weather, and take a long break from technology.
• You could watch funny and stupid cat videos on YouTube.
• You could make your own movie.
• You could watch the Skype laughter chain.
• You could ride an elephant.
• You could go sky diving.

The possibilities are absolutely endless of things that you can do than waste your time with these awful movies. So the next time you decide to sit down and watch a Happy Hallmark film, just ask yourself if it's truely worth you wasting your time?
