Heh, even though 75% of the Hallmark movies go this way, that still doesn't stop me at yelling at the TV with incredulity. You know how it is- things start going really well at the hour mark, then at the 1:30 mark, one side of the couple or the other overhears something and they have a total misunderstanding and get upset at the other person. But instead of talking it out, they end up being short and passive aggressive.

Then after the last commercial break, there's a deus ex machina to correct them of their notions. Most likely someone being all, "Oh, you thought they were leaving for that big job out of state! No, they turned it down!" or "No, they're not in love with that person you saw them with, they broke up!" or "they're just friends", or "that's really their brother or sister or cousin, you dummy!" Or "Oh, you thought they were making the heartless, corporate choice and screwing over your business?! No, they came up with some dream solution that somehow saves your little shop while still satisfying the corporate bottom line!"

But like I said, even though I know its going to work out the same way all the time, I still scream in frustration anyways. Which is why I really the other 25% of the time when these movies don't follow that formula.

Last night's "Meet Me at Christmas" is the former though. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

The Mandalorian- Heh, looking at Tumblr, I didn't know there was so much discourse about a certain character. ( spoiler cut )
