The Love Heist -

This was a blast! I loved it so much. It was a fun mystery that allowed for adventures. The chemistry was there but they were also so freaking adorable together with all the banter and romantic moments. The dancing!

I loved Mills. What a gentleman! He's very passionate about security and I love that for him. He was so sweet with Kayli and encouraging. He respected her and her job. He said he would keep her safe and he meant it! I loved how he was always saving her and then she had the chance to do that for him. Adorable. I loved that they pretended to be a fake married couple. Was that really necessary? Probably not but it was so much fun!

Perry and the other secondary characters were great. I could relate to Matilda needing to watch her stories. I appreciated that her boss was actually decent and supportive. That was a nice change.

All the kisses and near-kisses were good. It was just a lot of fun. Very fast-paced but there was still enough of a story and a romance to make it believable for them to fall for each other. I really loved this one! Definitely a favorite of the year.

Kiss Count: 3 • LGBTQ: suspected but not confirmed • Diversity: secondary characters • My rating: ★★★★★ (5) • Recommendation: Watch!

Things I loved:

"You can't be brave unless you're scared."

Her insisting to be searched

The candy necklace

Mills' runway moment

Cinderella moment walking down the staircase

The dancing!

The irks & icks:

The proposal at the gala - I just don't like that sort of thing. It was also weird for a huge celebrity to want to piggyback off an event like that. Do your own special thing, my dude.

The kiss(es):

First kiss was lovely! I loved that he didn't let the interruption stop them and went for it.

Second kiss was also great - shame it was interrupted by the proposal.

Third kiss was sweet. They're adorable!

"New" movies coming to Christmas in July are just retitled movies from 2024 that are currently available to stream on Hulu. They did look familiar to me but I didn't put much thought into it. I just figured we were getting more movies with the same actors which wouldn't have surprised me.

I'm very annoyed Hallmark is going this route to fill their schedule when it just isn't necessary. It feels a little insulting to us as fans. I get Christmas in July is less important than Countdown but they could still put in some effort to give us decent, actually new content. I'm sure these movies were cheap to acquire but that also cheapens the brand.
