Hallmark movies are known for their cliche story lines full of unbelievable plot twists and impossibly closed-minded or naive characters. Within five minutes of the film it's obvious who the intended lovers are, and another twenty minutes into the movie can reveal how their love will be tested. And almost every one of these love-testing trials are easily resolved through an embarrassingly public proclamation of love--usually at an airport if at all possible. The characters on these movies often simultaneously possess the worst and best of luck I've ever seen. They usually are unusually attractive...or unusually weird looking (and possibly even deformed).
Needless to say, these films are low-quality. They're predictable. They are unrealistic.
But I think that's why I love them. I mean, who doesn't just relish an escape from reality? These films give me hope that one day I will waltz right into a predictably perfect love story...with an unusual looking man who simply can't act.
