She’s Making a List

Hallmark+

Gretchen Weiners is back at the Hallmark girl and she has to decide some “list” issues. This is also up against Catnip Cafe on our bracket, which I loved for the originality of bringing in cats at Christmas. 

Gretchen, who is really named Isabel, opens the movie explaining she is actually Christmas cop. She decides who is naughty or nice and inspects them. She also breaks the fourth wall. 

Breaking the fourth wall bumps her into super hot knock off Chris Evans. 

Back at the corporate building that does the inspections, we meet her happy assistant Heidi and her fellow inspector Italian Giuseppe. He’s fun. 

We learn that Isabel is a grouch and not fun. She snap judges her clients (kids across the world). Her assistant doesn’t believe kids can be judged so quickly. 

Rudolph, a naughty kid turned Isabel’s boss tech bro, wants to promote Isabel to partner.  But she just meets her new “reconsider case”…and she has a hot dad who is kind and funny (the Chris Evans look alike). He’s an ex food critic, he was mean, but when his wife died he changed. His name is Jason. 

Isabel sort of dates Jason. Charlie, his 11 year old who is the reconsider case, is the real star. 

I hate to say it but she wins her first movie battle.
