☕️Hot Take, No Filter – My Latest Quick Reviews
My short & honest spoiler-free reviews of this year’s Hallmark movies:
- ‘Tis The Season for Setups → Read review
A cozy Christmas setting and a charming Barbara Niven can’t quite make up for a predictable romance and a few pacing issues. - Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story → Read review
A heartfelt story – not so football focused – about family, community and new traditions with genuine chemistry and enough emotional moments to bring on the tears. - Mr. & Mrs. Christmas → Read review
A believable grown-up romance, a refreshing single-dad storyline and more family drama than those Christmas decorations let on.
