It's getting to be that time of year again. That time when we gather together and spend some quality time watching Hallmark movies and playing bingo. The unfortunate side effect of this fun activity is all the movies blend together, and we can't remember which ones we've actually watched. The reviews for these are more to log that I've watched them than to make any real commentary on the movies themselves, but I will make comments. I just have to. Side note: One of our squares is 'dead parent.' Everyone who plays with us the first time is shocked by our enthusiasm when we can mark that one off. It's in a lot of them, though. Trust us!
This is one of the new movies for 2024, and I have to say, I was a little shocked. The plot was so weird. If you hate the FBI or want to think of them as inept morons, this is the movie for you! The main guy is supposed to be FBI, but he's the worst. He's not stealthy, his tactical vest looks like he's about to go fly fishing, and he has a random woman ruin his plans and their only solution is to let the citizen help catch the criminal that's been stealing priceless artifacts. Also, let's just bask in the glory that is the plan. They're going to put a fake (made by an old lady in a few hours from a cell phone picture) in place of the real monstrosity that is a necklace. The FBI acts like they've never considered that before...ever.
This movie was so frustrating. The woman, I can't even remember her name, had the worst parents. At one point, we liked her dad, but then he was dumb. They're in New York at Christmas, and no one feels the need to wear a coat half the time. The 'snow' in the movie really bothered me for some reason as well. We have 'obvious fake snow' as a square, so we got that, but overall no one got a bingo and we hated this one. Sad use of the girl from Signed, Sealed, Delivered, but she was only in it briefly, so there's that. And one more thing: someone who's never tangoed before will NOT dance like that...just saying.
