25 Days of Hallmark Movies: Day 23: "Christmas In The Air" Starring Catherine Bell and Eric Close

I think I found it, guys. I think I have somehow found the most boring Hallmark movie of all time–and that's out of dozens of movies about cookie baking contests and elevators breaking down and dueling Christmas tree farms. This movie is so fucking boring that I fell asleep just reading the premise of the thing.


Plot summary: "Lydia, a successful professional organizer, is constantly trying to grow her business, but even her ambition takes a back seat to love when she meets Robert, a frazzled widower with two young children. A toy inventor, Robert is asked to present his new Christmas toy line to a superstore. His challenge is he only has 12 days to get his life and his business in order. Talk about a Christmas rush! Lydia shows Robert that this task goes way deeper than messy junk drawers and encompasses every aspect of his life. While she’s intent on helping him straighten out details he had long ignored, Robert teaches the buttoned-up Lydia that messiness can be a delightful part of life."


Every Hallmark movie follows the same trajectory. But the makers of this one decided to take the road least interesting. And you know what? I'm not even going to go into depth here with the gags because I want to spare you the torture I endured to watch this one straight through. My Christmas present to you.
