This movie is literally everything. We have christmas movies, we have astrology, we have lesbians, we have Taylor Swift references, we have photography, we have fake dating, we have cute references, we have lowkey stalker ish behaviour but in a really cute way, we have it all!
Ok on a serious note though, it is really cool that we’re starting to see more gay and lesbian rom-coms where coming out and being a ‘sad gay’ isn’t the whole plot. Not saying that seeing good coming out rep is bad by any means, just liek seeing something different.
It wouldn't be a cheesy, heartwarming hallmark movie if they didn't plug the title somewhere randomly in the movie. I'm pretty sure it's an actual rule for their movies, lol.
What a great video, Jess! The rambling intro, the tangent to look up the director, the incredulity at the movie's idea of "photographer." And, a cute movie, too. Love the energy you're bringing.
There's this other lesbian Hallmark movie (earlier than this one😊) called Love, Classified. It's very sweet and has Dani from the L Word in it.... highly recommend it
Imagine You & Me is a really good gay romcom that is definitely a comfort movie for me. I don't think there's a single reaction video on UA-cam for that movie which is criminal. You should check it out, I think you'd like it!
Sometimes I scroll through your channel and watch old reactions that I missed when they were first released, I had to watch this one because I watch a decent amount of Hallmark movies and was so excited when this one came out! Ali Liebert, who plays the blonde lawyer in this movie, directed a gay Hallmark romance called The Holiday Sitter in 2022 (that one features Jonathan Bennett, most well known for Mean Girls), and she's been a big part of making Hallmark more inclusive with both side and main storylines. I was so happy Liebert was involved in this one, and that it was an enjoyable Hallmark movie!
@@fictionaldarling it's one I genuinely enjoyed watching, too! Sometimes the hallmark movies are so bad I enjoy laughing at them, sometimes they're actually fun to watch.
"Which one of you is from the small town?" I'm only at 1:20 where you asked that question, but I'm going to go with the one wearing jeans, as opposed to the one in the floofy jacket.
I so genuinely adore your reactions. It is like watching a movie or tv show with an awesomely smart and insightful friend who expands my senses a tiny bit every time she opens her mouth. Thank you so much! Best wishes and Happy New Year!
Hey, Jess. Great video. I legitimately did not know there was a sapphic Hallmark movie, but I’m glad to learn that it does exist today. Keep up the amazing work 😁😁
The lady at 12:40 sounded so much like Carrie Fisher, and looked like someone had written "Carrie Fisher" in the casting and costuming notes, it honestly made me emotional. 😢
This was my first Hallmark Christmas movie and I enjoyed it. Not a fan of the falling in love after fake dating trope though. Would have enjoyed it more if it were a friends to lovers story but it was still fun.
we deserve the serious dramas and the silly romcoms and i’m so happy we’re getting more i’d also highly recommend imagine me and you it’s such a good movie w a happy end
I watched this movie so I could watch the reaction. Immediately before, actually. Very glad I did, thanks for the indirect recommendation. (though I did have to halve my volume level for youtube) *wipes eyes* it was really lovely and... natural? I'm happy this exists. finally.
i actually do have one for happiest season!!! (it's at the bottom of the queer playlist that's linked in the desc, but i gotta warn you that it's not that fun of a reaction 😭 it's really old & it's mostly just me getting increasingly more stressed for abby 💀) i'm so glad you watched & liked this movie though!!! 💜

the 'lowkey stalkerish behavior' is seeeeeending me 😂😭
Okay first off, on behalf of sapphic Scorpios everywhere… yeah that’s fair.
Ok on a serious note though, it is really cool that we’re starting to see more gay and lesbian rom-coms where coming out and being a ‘sad gay’ isn’t the whole plot. Not saying that seeing good coming out rep is bad by any means, just liek seeing something different.
*sneaks in the usual watch Owl House for queer relationships suggestion when no one is looking.*
Hey who left this correct opinion here?
This movie really has an abundance of heart, and it just might manage to steal yours this holiday season, too!
That last shot absolutely felt like something out of a creepy stalker movie

What Happiest Season could've been if Abby and Riley had run off together and taken Jane with them. #ForeverSalty

ooh I've seen that one, yeah!
omg, thank you!! i need to find that one now!!

The Marvels is officially out on digital hope you get to react to it soon!!!
Of she does, it'll be on her p@treon with the other Marvel stuff.

This is so random, but you look so much like Sydney Sweeney (but with dark hair obviously lol) !!!! ❤
Check out Christmas at the Ranch, it's similar vibes and lesbian and really cute!

Have a fabulous Friday Jess! 🥰❤️
ahh thanks!! you too!!! :)
I almost refused to watch this movie just because Happiest Season burned me so hard. But I’m so glad I did!
Oh wait, that's me in the video! I didn't even notice! :D
yes!! thank you for recommending it!!! i would've missed it entirely if you hadn't 😭 & same about happiest season, lol. still not over that 💀
Airbnb points = paying 50% over listing in cash! 😉
I did not expect this to have a gay love triangle lmao slay
Wish it could still be viewed , I quess Hallmark will post it again at Christmas time. Could use it now to bring some lightness and smiles
I haven't seen this movie yet, but I will say that the kiss was the most passionate one I've ever seen on the Hallmark Channel.
The first lesbian Hallmark film was from 2022 though, called "Love, Classified", a romantic comedy too of course. 🙂
I watched this recently too, to my surprise, it was better than I expected 🙂 Have you watched Bloomington or Elena Undone ?
Just an additional piece of info. Ali is in real life a Lesbian and makes a point of finding lesbian roles to play
This was my first Hallmark Christmas movie and I enjoyed it. Not a fan of the falling in love after fake dating trope though. Would have enjoyed it more if it were a friends to lovers story but it was still fun.
we deserve the serious dramas and the silly romcoms and i’m so happy we’re getting more
i’d also highly recommend imagine me and you
it’s such a good movie w a happy end
i love your magazine at the start, masters of sex is one of his (and lizzy caplan's) best roles 🙏
fr!!! i watched the whole show the other month & it has ~not~ left my brain since 😭
Awwww I didn’t know this movie existed❤❤
it's so cute!!
This movie was Sooooooo adorable 🥰
This patched up the disappointment that Happiest Season gave me. I'm still not over that one but this film I will watch when I'm sad.
The Mom(Abuela from Encanto)
0:25 evelyn dar does videos about lesbian releases
In the end of the movie: where's the bear? Hahaha
You should watch - "Imagine Me and You" with Lena Heady, I promise you'd love it
Please tell me you've seen Bomb Girls?!?!
does anyone know if you can still see this movie? I looked hard for a while and cant find it.
According to Just Watch it's not currently available on any streaming platforms.
Hey!❤
I watched this movie so I could watch the reaction. Immediately before, actually. Very glad I did, thanks for the indirect recommendation. (though I did have to halve my volume level for youtube)
*wipes eyes* it was really lovely and... natural? I'm happy this exists. finally.
I finally watched Happiest Season this Christmas, sad you don't have a reaction for that but we can't have everything.
i actually do have one for happiest season!!! (it's at the bottom of the queer playlist that's linked in the desc, but i gotta warn you that it's not that fun of a reaction 😭 it's really old & it's mostly just me getting increasingly more stressed for abby 💀) i'm so glad you watched & liked this movie though!!! 💜
@@fictionaldarling thanks, UA-cam's search wasn't turning it up
Well I’m usually not a Hallmark guy but I will happily support this one!
