This was a very pretty movie. The idea was good. But it was s l o w. Not much of a bang to go out of Christmas in July on, but maybe they're saving their best stuff for the real holiday season!

A point of clarification regarding our brief chat on Marcus Rosner. Obviously he's handsome. Beth just finds him more appealing when he's having fun with that as Mr. Wrong. Why he's in 2 of the 5 Christmas in July movies remains puzzling however.

We take a few detours, as usual, but we really liked this movie overall! Hallmark has made a couple of supernatural/speculative clunkers but overall this is something they usually have a lot of fun with. Rachel Leigh Cooke displayed her excellent comic timing, and Sam Page's character, Sam, was refreshingly real and smart. The story was created by Jim Head, who has been behind several good ones, including Beth's own SHOE ADDICT'S CHRISTMAS. All in all a great couple of hours.

"Okay, Dungeons and Dragons", "Okay, Pet Detective." This movie is chock full of hilarious lines and asides that elevate it way above most of the offerings we've been seeing lately. We don't usually know the names of the lead actors unless we've seen them a lot and either love or hate them. In this case we can confidently say Andrew Walker, Paul Campbell, and Tyler Hynes (the love of Beth's Hallmark life), are absolute perfection. Three hot, hilarious men with chemistry galore. Watch this movie. Watch the sequel. Beg for more. This is Hallmark perfection.

Also. Writers matter. Who writes the movie matters. If you love a movie on Hallmark (or anywhere) it's worth looking up their whole library. In this case, this delight was written by Paul Campbell and Kimberly Sustad, who also penned the pretty hilarious Christmas by Starlight. We need more of this! There are smart, funny, innovative writers out here, all over. Millions. Hallmark, please stop padding the schedule with boring fluff with plot holes that could serve as train tunnels. Hire some fresh thinkers! Or just have Kimberly and Paul write everything. That would work too.

This is a good Bad Movie. It's not trying to be world-changing, it's just fun. But we can't pretend the leads don't each look very different than how we're used to seeing them. But they're both excellent actors and Zac in particular has perfect comic timing. But the shining star of this one is Joey King. The world needs more Joey King! All in all, this is a fun romp.

There are some real treat in this episode - text dings, dogs barking, squeaky toy activity, and occasionally Beth confirms a movie fact with Adam, who nods wordlessly and therefore makes her sound like a crazy person! But it was super fun to get back to Christmas episodes, even if this was the sunniest movie Hallmark ever filmed.

Are you attracted to Rodent Men? Are they the new Hot? Will Rodent Women be in style soon? (Don't hold your breath) Maybe the world is finally getting sick of Instagram Face and we all just want to see real people. Here's hoping!

We loved this movie! Yes, we had a LOT of detours, but with a movie this good we just didn't have that many notes. If you haven't seen it yet, make yourself a little plate of cheese (make sure it reaches room temp before eating) and enjoy!

You know how sometimes there are two actors that you consistently get mixed up? For Beth those actors are Treat Williams and Barry Bostwick. So, no, Barry wasn’t on When Calls the Heart and he isn’t dead. Treat Williams was on Chesapeake Shores and, sadly, he is no longer with us. We’re letting you know this right up front so you don’t lose your mind sitting through the whole show screaming, “That was Treat Williams!” at your device.

Brooke Shields is back on Netflix, in another movie with delicious scenery. And we don't just mean Benjamin Bratt, who is most definitely looking excellent - but Thailand is on dreamy display here. And if you love the environment and cinematography over good writing and acting, this might be exactly the movie for you!
