It's my first rewatch since I first saw it and holy fuck, I've forgotten just how insanely good this episode is
The king deserved a better movie to be hot and evil in
The title sums up how I felt watching this episode(seriously, what happened here????)
I watch a lot of mediocre Hallmark movies and generally I enjoy them. I know they're not masterpieces but they're a fun time and sometimes that's all you need. This one though, I think it casts a wider net. It's still a silly, good time but I think a non-hallmark fan could still enjoy it.
It has time travel(a personal favorite of mine) and generally good dialogue and acting.
The set is pretty. It's fun, it's cute and it's even occasionally funny.
There's a sort of lazy quality to most Hallmark movies and this one lacks that. They did a great job and it felt like they actually put some real effort into it.I loved seeing the clips from His Merry Wife. They could've easily made it cringey and over-the-top but it's really well done. Hell, if Hallmark released a full-length His Merry Wife I'd watch it.
I have such a strong attachment to this movie(check the play count) and I've watched it every year since I was 15 so I'm a bit biased...
With that said, as far as DCOM's go this is one of their best ones. The soundtrack is great and the acting is generally good(it does include some over-acting but that's Disney for you).
It's my #1 comfort movie. It's a good time, I'd recommend it!
Predictable but still very well done. That might seem like a contradiction but the pacing worked really well here and even though it ended much like I thought it would it still explored Mulder's past which I'm always interested in
Look, I get it(for the most part) but it was very boring. A clever idea, to be sure, but the characters themselves were unappealing and the plot was both complicated and very simple concurrently somehow but that isn't enough to make it enjoyable. A waste of a good premise, I think.
My favorite part was when that old lady yelled "Who cares? He's dead!" at her own husband's funeral
Anyway Haylie Duff supremacy
People are saying the ending was terrifying but really he just seemed like some guy who wanted to be left alone.
I'm not a big fan of the genre in general so maybe that plays a part too. It was very well edited though, in that it seemed like a real documentary so I'll give it props for that but other than that I was mostly just bored
It was certainly a movie
I thought I was in for a good time when the cow started talking but it only went downhill from there
Good movie...but the sex scene was an odd choice
So many good one liners in this one
Fag
Sorry?
*pulls out cigarette*
Every time I see his head boy badge I wish it was an invitation
You're on the school magazine this term?
I AM the school magazine, no one else can be fucked
I can be fucked...uhh I'd like to help
The gorgeous Glenn is 45 minutes late
Probably just got held up
By his balls, I hope
Don't be melodramatic, just faint?
Great soundtrack also
This is now my go-to lesbian Christmas movie(not that there are that many to choose from but still).
It was really cute, the acting was fine and I've always been a sucker for the fake dating trope
oh wow(derogatory)
Just watch Gremlins instead
If you, like me, enjoy slow paced atmospheric movies set in one location then you'll really enjoy this. If not, I'd recommend skipping this one.
It was obvious by the first half hour where it was heading but I really enjoyed it anyway. I have nothing bad to say about the acting and the script was pretty good. I feel like some of the characters could have been developed more if the screen time allowed it but oh well. Solid simple movie.
If you did like this one I'd recommend Life (2017) and The Bay (2012). Or if you were disappointed and want something similar but better.
I'm not gonna say this movie gave me a headache but I did get the worst tension headache I've had in a while during this movie.
I don't remember the dialogue being this cringey in the book so I don't know what that's all about but it was Bad with a capital B. I also don't believe for a second that these two love each other. I like hot people as much as the next person but please bring back chemistry tests. I don't even care if they're ugly just make me believe they want each other please i beg.
There's also the god awful acting, not to mention Uma Thurman's accent???
The soundtrack kind off fucked severely though, in a semi-ironic way.
Was it good? unsure
But was it a vibe? absolutely
Ohhh I fucking love this premise. Considering it's a Hallmark show I had quite low expectations but this was a great first episode!
It's very pretty but not much else
Looking at Gizmo physically hurts. He's so cute I can barely put it into words
Glad to see the outfits are still horrendous
It's objectively bad in every way but it's also funny and I had a good time so I can't in my heart of hearts rate it any lower
A row of pickled gherkin is pretty serious
A fun bisexual mess idc :orange_heart:
(they should have been a throuple though)
It has aged surprisingly well and it has some funny one liners. In general just a fun time really
Men Yelling: The Movie
It had some funny moments but mostly it was just pretty snow scenery and yelling
The way I literally got goosebumps and teary eyed at the end of this episode.
If anything happens to Jim istg
THE TWILIGHT REFERENCE!! I'M SCREAMING!!!
Whoever is responsible for the song choices in this episode I will kiss you
This was a mess but kind of an entertaining mess?
I think it would have been much more effective as a horror thriller than this weird romcom drama it was trying to be.
I can't with a clear conscience say that it was good but it did keep my attention all the way through because of several things that were just so....morally fucked up. I just had to see how this was gonna conclude
There was no way this would've ever lived up to the original but it was definitely fun. I wish the main new characters would've been fleshed out a bit more though
This man's hair was wet or drenched in gel or mousse throughout the entire movie and I gotta say he looked hot.
It was interesting enough but I feel like they could've done more with it. I'm not opposed to rewatching it at some point but I wouldn't recommended it to anyone unless they specifically like anything related to mad scientists and parallel universes. While it may not exactly contain those things I think it would appeal to those people
