25 Days of Hallmark Movies: Day 25: "Romance At Reindeer Lodge" Starring Nicky Whelan and Josh Kelly

The idea behind this one is that if you force two unwilling but compatible people together in a Christmas setting, they'll inevitably fall in love. It's supposed to by cute and romantic but actually sounds more like a method for breeding cattle. And with Molly accidentally dropped in the situation and powerless to escape, it's got darker tones of cult recruiting techniques. Happy Holidays!


Plot summary: "A group of adults from different parts of the country have sworn off partaking in holiday events. Two of those people are Molly and Jared. Upon arriving at their destination, they discover it’s a Christmas themed ranch. With no flight out until after Christmas, the group ends up staying. The Christmas activities eventually melt everyone’s cynical hearts and Molly and Jared’s love blossoms."

Wait. What adult would read the name "REINDEER LODGE" and not think it's a Christmas-themed ranch, whatever the fuck that is? Some people need to read the fine print. Or the bold print. Or need to read, period. Goddam illiterates.

Okay, that's the last one. 25 days of Hallmark movies is over, thank Jesus. I briefly considered just finishing off the month with 6 more, but shit, I've squandered enough of my life for this already. Fuck you, readers.
