degrees out versus when it's probably, you know, zero degrees Fahrenheit. 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.360 Uh it definitely looked like those guys were cold. 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.800 Uh you and I love a good Christmas market in the Copenhagen Christmas market. 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:28.240 Did not disappoint in this movie. 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.199 It was great. 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:35.920 And of course, hooga, which translates to a sense of cozy, contented, and safe everyday well-being. 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.600 Uh, it was really curious, cool hearing about hooga and the whole Danish lifestyle throughout this film. 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.240 Yeah, you pretty much took almost every single thing that I picked as well. 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.399 You let me go first, that's what happens. 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.279 That's what happens. 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:58.399 So I will, in addition to the things that you said, because I had those as well, uh, beautiful scenic shots and the house where they stayed with her and her sister was lovely. 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.160 The colors are there, are amazing. 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.360 Kayaking in the channel with all the lights, that was super cool. 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.639 I did laugh at the cold plunge scene, that was great. 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:12.800 And when Emily starts counting that out really fast, like one, like 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 33, like get out of here. 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:13.680 It's so we're freezing. 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.120 That cracked me up so much. 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:26.480 And then when Ryan said, Oh, it's blankets and snacks, same as her brother-in-law, and she said, No, it's a it's a hookah experience, just like she said to her brother-in-law. 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.519 It was so funny to me. 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.720 Like that, that was uh it just cracked me up. 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.920 I did like how they showed some of the Danish traditions, or at least I hope they're real Danish traditions. 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.560 I'm sure they are. 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.759 She being from Denmark, I'm sure she's legit there. 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:40.800 Excuse my voice. 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.600 Yeah, I think she really wanted Denmark and those traditions to come across as authentic and realistic. 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.920 Yeah, I'm I'm sure you're spot on on that one. 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:56.639 And the last thing is uh once the second Ryan got there, uh it cracked me up about how many things started just going wrong on the tour. 00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.279 Once the second Ryan got there, it was so comical. 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.959 I really enjoyed some of those scenes. 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.079 Having said that, what are some things we'd fix in rewrites? 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.040 Yeah, uh so I wanted a mid-movie kiss in this one. 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.519 I mean, when she chases down Ryan after he leaves the hotel, Ryan number one, I should say, the first time. 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.639 And then afterwards, immediately they're kind of there by candlelight, I go, Oh, that is a perfect mid-movie kiss. 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.399 And you and I are all about the mid-movie kiss. 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.000 I could have used one right then and there. 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.480 Renee, when the kid throws the hot chocolate on Ryan number two during the tour, we we need to make that look more natural. 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:29.040 Like somebody bumped into him and he accidentally spilled it. 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.040 It's like he took it and just threw it on the guy. 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.080 I'm all okay, we need a little uh the direction. 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.720 Let's get that a little bit right and make it look like it was an accident. 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.879 I don't think the kid meant to throw it on him. 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.120 So let's make that look a little more like an accident. 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:47.200 But if I had one reader write at all, I don't think Ryan number two needed to come back at all uh towards the end of the story. 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.679 I don't think it really did anything for the end of the story. 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:56.240 The positive stuff he wrote about it really had no effect on whether the inn was gonna stay in business or shut down. 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.919 I don't think he needed to come back at all. 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.879 I I I would have just let him go and and never seen the guy again and thrown on some other stuff into the movie. 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:08.240 I'm sure we could have put, you know, found some other little uh fun stuff about Denmark and the Danish culture for those couple minutes. 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.200 We didn't have him back. 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:14.399 So that's that's the one thing I'd rewrite is let's lose Ryan number two after he leaves uh the hotel the first time. 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:14.960 Yeah. 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.600 For me, and I don't know how I'd how I'd fix this. 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:22.799 Likely we don't say you know what we would do to fix it, we would just say what we would fix if we could. 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.399 Uh I think the pacing of this movie really slowed down towards the middle and the end. 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:32.559 Like I said, I don't know how I'd fix that, but this is a section I would like to have seen rewritten to keep it moving along for me. 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:38.639 I I don't know how, but and the one that is a big rewrite for me is like Ryan fell in love in one week. 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.559 Like, we don't like that. 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.639 But it is part of the hallmark spirit. 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.799 He said, Oh, I've I've I've fallen in love with and then he was gonna say you. 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.320 Clearly he was gonna say with you, but

then he goes with Denmark, but he meant to say you. 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.440 I was like, Okay, dude, you've been there not even seven days. 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.120 Like, that is crazy. 00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:01.200 But I do believe in the spirit of love and hallmark, but in real life, that is a crazy move. 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.600 That that really that's something I would definitely try to fix in in a rewrite. 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.360 You know, I think I would like to see, like, you know, I've really I'm growing quite fond of you. 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.159 I'd like to know more of you, something along those lines, more natural. 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:13.039 Yeah. 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.879 I I like you a lot. 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.200 I mean I like Denmark a lot, yeah, yeah. 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:18.720 You have a favorite moment. 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.279 I know that you do. 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:21.600 Oh, we always do, and usually you and I are different. 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.720 I mean, very rarely are we ever the same favorite moment, but who knows? 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.879 Maybe one of these days we'll match up this Christmas season. 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:40.720 But I have it when Ryan and Marie were walking through Copenhagen uh at night towards the end of the movie, and then we see the kids doing the candle walk and singing, and then the camera at the very end of the scene pulls back and shows that beautiful shot of the Copenhagen Christmas market. 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.559 Uh, yeah, I think that's my favorite scene overall. 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.399 Just beautifully shot, beautifully well done, kind of brought out some Danish culture. 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.240 Yeah, that that's that's mine. 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.720 Yeah, well, at least my favorite scene or moment takes place on the market. 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.879 Not quite the same reasons as yours. 00:10:55.039 --> 00:11:03.200 I like when they were all at the market and Marie had all these things scheduled for the real Ryan, and the real Ryan Miller goes, like, well, why don't we just go explore? 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:10.000 And she kept trying on her own, and and she kept trying to like get him to go with her so she could show him the all the things that she wants to show him. 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.159 He's like, Yeah, I'm gonna go on my own. 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.159 Like, that cracked me up so much. 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.039 I just love that. 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.919 And then he takes off and goes exploring on his own. 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.240 I just love that scene, it just cracked me up. 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.960 Well, best supporting character. 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:25.039 We have to be the same on this one for sure. 00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.080 You think so? 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:26.879 Maybe. 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:27.679 I don't know. 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.440 Uh I'm going

with Jonas or Jonas as is they uh they call him. 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:39.039 He just again, he didn't get that much screen time, but when he did, he has some great dialogue, some great little fun quips, some really good banter. 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.200 Uh yeah, I don't I don't know what else to say. 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.039 I thought he was a pretty fun, supporting character, and again, we always say who deserved more screen time. 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.440 I wanted a little bit more of Jonas in this movie. 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.279 Same, that's why Pink Jonas. 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.879 He was so funny and cool, and he was playing flashlight tag, that's kind of cool. 00:11:53.039 --> 00:12:00.320 Yeah, and and when uh Emily shows up, not even saying hi to her, but handing her, uh handing Marie, it's her character's name, a drink. 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.840 Uh, I thought was funny. 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.159 Right? 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:09.759 He was played by Adam Bricks, so he was hilarious, offering a cup of cocoa after it was billed on the real Ryan Miller, unbeknownst to Jonas, was funny to me. 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:18.399 Just like he was just comical, and some of those scenes, like not intentionally him being funny, but just the scenes that he were he was in, were just cracking me up. 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:19.519 I really like that character. 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.759 Well, our logic checks, here we go. 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.799 Are we sure?

00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.759 I want to say yes, Renee, but in the end, I don't think so. 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.559 There's a lot of hurdles here, just logistical hurdles, even though they really do care for one another. 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:51.200 But I read the quickest an American get Danish residency is in four years. 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:52.159 It takes four years. 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.159 Often it takes more like eight years. 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:54.799 Wow. 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.799 Uh so that it's really tough for him to stay there in Denmark. 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.320 Uh he's

from California, where I presume his family is as well. 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.799 She seems to be a little bit of a globetrotter herself. 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:05.840 You know, it was in Chicago. 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.600 She got offered a promotion to London. 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.360 I I know she's staying in Denmark now, but that is falling apart fast. 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:18.000 I think she's gonna get up pretty gonna get fed up with uh having to take care of that thing unless you know they can spend a lot of money on repairs. 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.039 It's a nice Hallmark world romance for Ne, but uh unfortunately I think that's all it is. 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.320 I don't think they're gonna make it in this one. 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:26.480 Just again, too many hurdles to overcome. 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.080 Yeah, like to me, I just like I don't know about this one. 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.080 They've only known each other for a week. 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:34.480 That is not enough time to make that sort of decision. 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.480 So I'm gonna go, like, I'm gonna say for the first time, instead of saying no, I'm just gonna say, I don't know. 00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.840 Like it can go either way, but really, really, I guess I'm gonna say no. 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.840 Like, I don't know, leaning towards no. 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.200 I don't think it's gonna last. 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.320 It's just not enough time. 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:54.159 You know, I like you know, I like to have the hallmark spirited in me sometimes, but maybe watching three Hallmark movies in a weekend has gotten me Hallmark spirited out. 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.159 I have no idea if that's the case or not. 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.879 But I was like, I'm getting a little cynical on this one. 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:13.919 No, this this is one of these segments that we do that people have a lot of fun with, but we always keep it real, and you know, I think more often than not, you know, 75% of the time we're all absolutely, but if there is a reason we're you know we're doubting it for some reason, we always call it out. 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:18.080 So, where we are the best, hands down, the missile tow meter. 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.200 So the first one with the hotel in the background. 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.679 I I gave a B to I thought the kiss was pretty good. 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.080 The camera work was a little bit wonky. 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:31.200 My big question is that hotel was kind of really shining kind of a bright white in the background. 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:32.720 It was kind of turning me off a little bit. 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.200 Why not put the awesome Christmas market in the background there? 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.440 That that would have been the really cool shot. 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.919 But again, I thought the kiss itself was pretty good, so I gave it a B. 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.240 I'll lean on the overall power of the kiss. 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.919 Final kiss, I gave a B I gave a B minus too. 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.879 It was sweet, a little bit too short for my liking, but not bad. 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.600 Um, overall, I'm in a generous mood. 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.200 I'll give it an overall B. 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.039 We the exact same thing. 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.960 The first kiss was a nice kiss. 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.759 Interesting yet confusing camera work for sure. 00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:00.879 It was unexpected. 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.080 That kiss was a B. 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.600 You know, maybe a B minus. 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.880 But the last kiss was uh for me like a C, C plus. 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.400 So overall, I give this a B, B minus on those kisses. 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.240 They uh that first one could have been so much better, it's just the camera work was so confusing to me. 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:19.680 Like I said, like you said, I think they could have done better by putting the market in the background, that would have been nicer. 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.240 Who or what won the movie? 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.240 So I think Denmark wins this movie. 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:28.079 The Danish culture, uh the language that we heard, the authenticity. 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:31.359 Uh, you know, you rarely in a Hallmark movie do you get really authentic stuff. 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:40.160 Like if you're shooting in Philadelphia, you know, rarely do you get like really good Philly cheesesteaks because it's not shot in Philadelphia very often. 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.720 Uh we mentioned Chicago this year for the Bears Love Story. 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.839 We didn't really get good shots of authentic food. 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.559 Uh I really think we got authentic Denmark. 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:56.640 I think it really is something different and special when it's shot on location like this movie is. 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:05.839 So Denmark, but Danish culture, uh shooting on location, that to me is what won this movie and kind of made this movie what it was. 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.319 Yeah, for me the same location by far. 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.559 It was really set the mood and tone of the movie. 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.759 And I love learning about all the traditions in Denmark. 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:24.400 I just thought that was interesting because I know nothing of Denmark besides those Danish cookies that come in, those little blue tins that eventually end up being a holder for my mom's like uh sewing kit stuff. 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:24.720 Right? 00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:27.440 So I don't know aside from that, I know nothing about Danish culture. 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:29.119 Uh I liked learning about that. 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.160 There was a lot of traditional traditions, I want to

say. 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.440 It really was an incredible location for Denmark for sure. 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.359 Won that won that movie for me. 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:42.720 Our overall movie rating, and for this, I'm gonna say, hopefully I pronounced this correctly. 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.640 How many cups of glug? 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.359 That's that red wine with all the stuff in it. 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.839 How many cups of glug did this movie get for you? 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.559 Yeah, the mold wine that you see at all the Christmas orchestra throughout Europe, the warm uh mold wine. 00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.559 As an overall movie, Renee, I this was very middle of the road for me. 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:04.720 I was leaning 3.5 because that's just kind of my standard basic middle of the road average kind of movie. 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:16.160 But because of the location, shot in the location, the great Danish culture we got, Amelia being able to speak the language, uh adding that uh authenticity to it, uh the beautiful scenery all throughout Copenhagen. 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.160 I'm bumping it up to a 3.75. 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.839 I I think that's the right uh score for this movie. 00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:27.759 Like I say, I think it was just a very standard movie, but you add in all that stuff, and I learned a ton about Danish culture that I didn't know before. 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.279 So 3.75 glugs from me. 00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:32.799 Yeah, I was right with you. 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.599 Like I I was you know back and forth too. 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.319 First I was like 3.25, 3.5. 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.480 I didn't get up as high as 3.75. 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:55.279 I settled on 3.5 glugs for this movie, and I I I I wanted to like it more because I like the actress and I like the setting, but I have to be honest, so 3.5 glugs is uh to me is a kind of a standard average rating, and that's where I settled on. 00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:00.319 Yeah, and I think we both kind of give it a bump just because of all the the Danish stuff being so authentic, like it was. 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.680 Yeah, it was nice. 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.240 Yep. 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.720 Well, this was a nice quick and easy review. 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.799 It definitely is an easy watch, so I mean, watch it if you get a chance to, you will enjoy it. 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.799 And if you've never been to Denmark and I'm thinking about it, you'll see a nice culture there for sure. 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:20.319 Yeah, I know a lot of people, my wife and I keep talking about going back and doing the European Christmas markets and experiencing Europe around Christmas time. 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.519 Uh, something we want to do in the next few years. 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:39.519 And if that is kind of a dream of yours or on your bucket list or your wish list, I mean definitely watch this movie because you really get a good feel uh of Denmark and they really do a good job of showing what it's like around Christmas time and all the traditions and in the hoah and everything else uh there in Scandinavia. 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.359 So thank you everyone for listening. 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:42.720 We really appreciate your time. 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:44.799 Again, I can't thank you enough for listening. 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:49.200 And we're gonna leave you with oh, I wish I would have learned how to say this in Danish. 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:50.799 For the love of Hallmark. 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.119 Oh, Renee, we blew, we really should have looked up how to say for the love of Hallmark Danish. 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.680 But yes, uh uh a thousand hoogas and for the love of hallmark.
