When I first heard that my brain went to the fruit “Dad what’s a date” “WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU ABOUT DATES” “T..this package” *starts to cry* The girl runs upstairs crying about dates The dad looks at the package “Dried dates” The father spends his whole life trying to rekindle his relationship with his daughter. And the girl always hates dates till the day she dies along with her father
HEY! I worked on Christmas Cupid’s Arrow! I was in charge of the extras, and even appeared in the movie several times. Honestly, I never even got to see it, but your review seems spot on. The whole movie takes on a different feel if you know that we shot it in June in Louisiana. So anytime we are wearing coats, we are actually slowly cooking to death.
my mom is addicted to hallmark so yeah, the entire series is annoying and low budget. As you see, the characters fall in love because of the world's littlest things. And don't talk about the constant Christmas movie airing all year round.
Every Christmas movie needs either of these things: - A dead parent that's been dead for 10 years but still get sentimental over them and cuts to a flashback of them as a family whenever they mention it. - Parents that don't believe in Santa because when they were 3 months old Santa didn't give them a specific toy despite the fact that there's mysterious presents that they didn't buy randomly appear under the Christmas tree. - If it's a love story, a stereotypical blonde white single mother who moves to a different town and meets the most basic looking dude who doesn't like Christmas.
I remember when I was a kid my family had a drinking game where they'd watch a hallmark movie, and drink every time a character of color had a line, and they'd joke at the end of the movie about how dehydrated they were
@@horror__sans the only non-white person is the sassy black woman who tells the protaganist about love. Sometimes it's a wise black man instead. Or a wise nonsassy black woman.
16:22 I think the worst part about this scene is that it's so close to being how real people interact when they don't know each other that well and don't have anything to talk about. Like...is almost there, but there's that synthetic feeling that comes with all Christmas hallmark-style movies
i love watching people talk for some reason, so if i watched that movie it would probably be my favourite scene. its definitely improv so it feels almost genuine and calms my brain sometimes i just sit down in the kitchen and listen to my family members conversations its just so nice
I liked the banter in that part, it was a little weird and forced but so much more compelling and realistic than so many other romantic scenes in movies devoid of real human connection.
Amanda really is the best person. I know this video is old but still, I'm binging all this Drew content and every video where she pops up always get better when she does.
11:37 - I love that the book is obviously a collection of 3 Christmas stories by Charles Dickens but someone in props just glued some paper over the other titles after _A Christmas Carol_ . 😆
Honestly that scene with them flirting wasnt actually that bad, it felt like two people genuinely getting to know each other and talk about their passions together, the dialogue felt weirdly realistic, even if the acting was a bit awkward
In France we have a specific word for "a movie so bad it's good", there's whole theories and documentaries about it and I love it so much (Fyi the word is "nanar", which I think is a pretty cool word on its own)
I’m a film person from Vancouver (aka home of hallmark Christmas movies) and as someone that has 90% of their colleagues work on these I can confirm that even the filming process no one gives a shit about it they just throw em out into the abyss
"Dungeons and Christmas" where a nerd was playing d&d then santa accidentally fell out of his sleigh and fell into his house, when the nerd saw santa, santa used his snow globe to teleport back to the northpole, the nerd said "wow its santa" when the nerd tried to catch him he accidentally dropped his d&d action figure and the snow globe scanned the action figure so the nerd and santa got sent to a fantasy land, and they have to get out of the fantasy land before Christmas so santa could deliver the presents,but when they got out the fantasy land, it was all a dream... or was it, when Christmas time comes up and the nerd open his present there was a note said "dont tell anyone you saw me and merry Christmas" the present was a board game called "Dungeons & Christmas" (3 years later the movie is on netflix lol)
Just gonna say it, during that quiz with his wife, Drew be lookin like that gay drama teacher who talks about his relationship struggles with his students
In a universe where everything is the exactly the opposite, hall mark movies are about a woman who breaks up with her husband and moves to the big city, gets a job and becomes a ceo, and discovers a hatred for Christmas.
I don't think that many kids today are reading Stephen King, but a fair amount did who grew up in the 80s and 90s. The funny thing about that scene is that the writers thought having the characters both like one of the most popular authors ever and THE most popular band ever was the way to show they were uniquely meant for each other. 😂
i don't recall that many kids in the 90s reading Stephen King tho, teenagers yeah but not actual *kids*. i only knew like 1 person who read any of his books before going to high school, and they only got into it because they were a massive edgelord who thought that liking horror was a valid replacement for a personality lol.
hey drew, so I'm watching your christmas videos because it's december. I commented on the video where you and amanda watch "alone for christmas" saying that i was gifted that dvd from my nan for christmas one year. I figured i would let you know that she also gave my brother "doggie boogie" one year. so there you go. my nan has given us 2 different dog movies you've disscussed in christmas videos on your channel. very strange it happened twice.
paul literally tells the story about how he wrote yesterday in like every interview he's in. it's his favorite story to tell next to how he wrote let it be 😭
Yeah they have a girl and a dude but the girl is the dude's sister trying to help him get a date with that guy who's going to a Christmas party with them
ok but,,,, it has to still have a straight white couple in front of a christmas tree on the cover And the first 10 minutes you think it's gonna be straight
0:40 So I googled “I eat a Christmas tree” and there aren’t any movies about but I did learn you actually can. Why. Who the heck was like; “Hey I wonder if I can eat this tree?”. The awnser is yes. I am not responsible for any damage caused to individuals by the consumption of any form of tree, Christmas or otherwise.
A Christmas movie where Santa dies in a sleigh crash and his elves go on a bloodthirsty hunt to gather the materials needed to resurrect him from the dead; The horn of a living goat, the ashes of an orphans parent, a severed human finger, Santa’s ashes, and the bloody beating heart of a person Santa loved. I bet that hasn’t been done before.
@@sonnymcgrath4711 From what I can tell from a quick google search that I'm certain put me on a few government watchlists, no it hasn't. Someone with a camera get on that shit yesterday.
I want a Christmas movie where a magical dragon gets sucked into our world and just starts crying and the people of the small town (where the dragon landed) are spooked but they all teach the dragon the meaning of Christmas. But then, the dragon gets so excited for Christmas that he wants to visit Santa at the North Pole. But Santa isn’t there and the dragon realizes that the people lied to him. And the dragon goes on a murderous rampage. It ends with the dragon becoming Santa. Maybe once both are movies become popular and we make millions on them, we can combine the two movies in an awful sequel and we can make even MORE money
@@pixel_cherry hmmm I don't know about this. Santa being a dragon doesn't bother me but can we like just make him beat the villagers up instead of killing them? You know, so we don't make the kids shit their pants?
Omg my friend was in my dad is scrooge! He played Ollie and I watch that movie every year just because of him! I've been hoping to find a reaction to this for ages and you just made my year 🤣🤣🤣
@@gexagon1804 I meaaaan. I only read the synopsis, and it doesn't seem that Santa is jewish. It's literally about an Israeli special forces vet that goes full batman, and is trying to stop *Damian Claus the evil son of Santa* I am not making this shit up lol
Drew and Danny should make a Christmas movie where they switch bodies and try to be themselves again, but nobody thinks anything's actually happened and they stay switched.
These movies are great as ambience for a Christmas party. Say what you will about them, but they fulfil a niche and they do it well. Sometimes during Christmas you just want to not be challenged. You want to watch a comfy movie where you know the small town guy gets with the corporate woman in the end, and she or her parents or whatever antagonist learns the true spirit of Christmas.
Is there a Christmas movie about falling in love in a bathroom? Cause I’ll bet there isn’t (hallmark feel free to take my idea. It’s tempting I know) We start in a bathroom, her bathroom at home. Our Main protagonist white girl 1 is seen putting in lipstick while wearing rudolf pajamas. White girl 1 says: oooohhh now my lips are as red as Rudolf’s nose. Haha Camera stays on her as she looks of screen nervously at the director for 10 seconds Then the other main protagonist white boy 1 walks into the bathroom. Her bathroom, at 9:30 on a Tuesday White guy 1: “hey wanna go to a party. Also I think your lipstick looks like rudolfs nose.” White guy 1 smile really wide and does now break eye contact for 10 more seconds White girl 1:” hehe ya but I don’t have anything to wear!” Suddenly Santa appears out of the toilet! Santa: “hello! I am your fairy god father and I’m here to make you look like a Ho Ho Ho!” Reply with more of the script. I think we’ve struck gold here.
I feel like I am the perfect demographic for this video for this reason: My father is a real tough, stern guy (he used to race motorcycles for a living and now he owns/runs a construction company). But two years ago, he discovered Hallmark movies and now he watches them... constantly. He has the app downloaded, he has alarms in his calendar for when the ones he's looking forward to the most are gonna be on, he knows the names of a lot of the actors, and it just makes him genuinely happy. But whenever I'm home from school and I watch them with him, I notice that they're all SO similar. And my mom and I joke about it constantly. So for Christmas, I made him a Hallmark bingo set with a bunch of tropes that occur in most of the movies. I just thought that you should know that, yes, there are people out there who LOVE the Hallmark channel(s), and they may not be the people you expect lol
Was gonna say something about how the actor that ruined my favourite character is all you need to know about the quality of that film but I didn't wanna be negative, oh well fuck that useless bitch
My favorite christmas movie is that one about the guy who adopts four penguins after they get accidently sent to him. Loved it as a child and love it today still
At least the argument about who wrote “Yesterday” made the conversation seem more natural, before they both said they grew up reading Stephen King books.
It very much just an argument, not flirting, they had almost no chemistry, he was being too pushy and barely reacting with his face in any positive way 😬
Mostly Animated Sketches ikr. I mean I love reading Stephen King, I have since I was very young, however that is such a bizarre thing to put in a CHRISTMAS movie. Like why...??? The dude has more gore in his books than white people in Hallmark Christmas films 😬
Ah yes, I also read Stephen king's 1200 page, slightly pedophilic novel about a being of almost infinite power terrorizing a small town disguised as a clown when I was 8
Thomas Blackwell stephen is such a fucking creep. He talks about tits so much in his books, even when describing preteens, teens. Its scary, hes not a good writer when it comes so woman
the idea that someone would think simply having a wonderful christmastime is even remotely the worst christmas song when CHRISTMAS SHOES exists is insane
can we just talk about the fact that someone had the idea to make a movie about a bikini contest that gets ruined by a shark avalanche and it actually got made and had like a 3 million dollar budget
Phoenix dactylifera, commonly known as date or date palm, is a flowering plant species in the palm family, Arecaceae, cultivated for its edible sweet fruit.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: A blonde single mother living in a small town with a song in her heart who believes that Christmas is the greatest thing ever for nondescript sentimental reasons. Meets a man who really doesn't believe in Christmas but not because he's Jewish or something but rather for nondescript plot reasons.
I know he’s making a joke about kids not reading Steven King but my little sister legitimately read all of his books as a child. I have distinct memories of her explaining the plots of his books to me while I sat there like “…are you old enough to be reading this?”
