Hah! I thought of you while writing this piece. I just watched a third entry in the vaunted Hallmark canon that was really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Great deconstruction. I watched the movie about the 1940's filmstar last year. I enjoyed it for all the reasons you wrote about. I can usually watch one to three per season, late in the evening, under a blanket with a mug of tea. If I watch more, the shine of a simple pleasure tarnishes.
Amy! I would like to officially welcome you to the world of unending optimism! I can give you a list of movies that while sweet, won’t rot your teeth!

Ah, yes. Too much sugar rots the teeth!
Mindlessness is underrated.
Great analysis. The Hallmark movies' nine-act structures move at such a break-neck pace.
