I recently watched two Hallmark movies, To Barcelona, With Love & To Barcelona, Forever. (I know, two Hallmark themes in a row.)
It's been a while since I have watched any Hallmark movies, even the ones that sound good to me or have actors I like in them. Because sometimes these movies bore me to death. They move so slow sometimes and there's nothing gripping about them. That said, I think I have figured out what I really need in order to watch Hallmark movies.
1) I need to be doing something else at the same time, like writing or playing games on my phone. Hallmark movies are a bit like baseball games, where they do not take 100% of your attention and trying to give them 100% of your attention just makes you go crazy. Put them on in the background and it's almost perfect!
2) These two movies were as much (if not more) about the friendship between two women as the romances, and I enjoyed that. That's why I enjoyed the Wedding Veil movies so much; the friendships between the three women was very front and center. (Is it a coincidence that Alison Sweeney was in both movie series? Possibly not.)
Does anyone else have this same issue? What have you done about it (besides swear them off forever, lol!)? Anything else you want to talk about?
