The Christmas Promise (2021)
Reoccurring Choice and Typecasting of Lead Characters Troubling
Keep hoping for new approaches to Holiday Themes with new storylines and this does accomplish that. Sometimes some Hallmark stories copy films or works that have been out there before. Many times I do not expect great writing but more of escapism.
I have found though.something that is causing channel changes on my part, less interest in paying attention to the stories. It might seem trivial but is repeated so many times it is now almost repulsive. Do tell...why do so many leading men look as though they don't take care of themselves? The almost constant few days' old beards that usually lack professional touches is like..."why would I go out with this person". No...it is not manly. If Hallmark thinks it is and is sexy then they are off the mark. Either grow the beard, get a professional groomer or nix it altogether. The women usually could do with more emotion and less suburban hair.
I know looks are not everything but this is now trope for Hallmark and is old, stereotyping and boring.
