Christmas in July has come to Hallmark. As I watched one of them last night (don't judge, there are reasons) it occurred to me that Hallmark movies are essentially the cheesy, sappy equivalent of a porn movie. '
There's always at least one girl who's somewhere in the reasonably to super attractive range. There's always a guy who's essentially interchangeable and basically a set piece. You know exactly what's going to happen. You get a happy ending.
That formula is exactly the same in Hallmark as it is in porn.
